    Expert provides Al-Qaeda's timeline

    In an article published in the current International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, Carleton University security expert Martin Rudner presents an Islamic terrorist timeline for the next 20 years.

    On al-Qaeda's conquest calendar, the beginning of "total war on non-believers" begins seven years from now. And it ends with Islamic victory in 2020.

    Ask Mr. Rudner, director of Carleton's Canadian Centre of Intelligence and Security Studies, how he assesses this declared march to world domination.

    "I take it very seriously," he says. "Obviously."

    So, too, does Jordanian journalist Fouad Hussein, who publicized the timeline based on his talks and correspondence with al-Qaeda members. "Al-Qaeda makes no compromises," says Mr. Hussein. He published his findings in the book al-Zarqawi -- al-Qaida's Second Generation a year before Mr. al-Zarqawi's death in June in a U.S. air strike in Iraq.

    Al-Qaeda's seven-stage plan:

    Stage 1: Awakening. Strategic time line: Sept. 11, 2001. Tactical Objective: Provoke U.S. attack on Muslims, galvanize jihadism.

    Stage 2: Opening Eyes. Time: 2003-2006. Objective: Force West on defensive.

    Stage 3: Arising and Standing Up. Time: 2007-2010. Objective: Assault on Turkey and Israel.

    Stage 4: Downfall of Apostate Muslim regimes. Time: 2010-2013. Objective: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, oil producers.

    Stage 5: Declaration of Caliphate. Time: 2013-2016. Objective: Mobilization of Muslim forces.

    Stage 6: Total Confrontation.

    Time: 2013-2020. Tactic: Total war on non-believers by 1.5 billion Muslims.

    Stage 7: Definite Victory. Time: 2020. Objective: A Muslim world.
