Not strictly speaking. It is more a magnet for terrorists that were bred in Syria, Iran and Afghanistan.
A lot depends on how the coalition act from here. People are returning from Fallujah to see the damage with mixed reactions. I don't think though, especially with the coalition there, that were would be much, if any, coordinated terrorist training facilities. Why not just do it in another country where it is easier?
I agree with everything else that the CIA predicts. Especially the bit about China and India becoming true superpowers and Al Qaeda becoming de-centralised.
