From the transcript

As a group, they need no introduction. They're the architects by 9/11, 7/7, the Madrid train bombings and countless other atrocities. A group that announced its arrival to the world in 2001 with one of the biggest bangs the western world has ever seen.

They were led by one of the most fanatical individuals the world has ever seen. For this group, their religion is long, and the way in which they practice, it isn't just worth dying for, it's worth killing for.

Tens of thousands of people have perished as a direct result of their actions and the US' ensuing war on terror has killed many more in trying to stop them.
