The information was revealed by the head of the country's defense industry.
US Defense Secretary Panetta said on November 21 that US forces had killed many senior leaders of the al-Qaeda network and weakened the organization's branches.

In a speech at the Center for a New American Security, Secretary Panetta affirmed that the US has made progress in fighting al-Qaeda's affiliates in Yemen and Somalia, but that the organization's branches are still growing in Mali, Nigeria and re-establishing operations in Libya.
Mr. Panetta said that crushing and eradicating al-Qaeda remains a top priority even when US forces withdraw from Afghanistan in two years. He also affirmed that Afghanistan will not be allowed to become a safe haven for al-Qaeda./.
