Abstract
This article aims to briefly summarise the evolution of the concept of jihad. In particular, it will be argued that it is possible to distinguish between two forms of jihad: a «jihad of position» and a «jihad of movement». An analysis of the latter developments of Al Qaeda's «jihad of movement» will show how the terrorist group is currently opting for a global struggle which relies on the strategic concept of Islamic leaderless resistance.
