Dr. Sebastian Gorka, assistant professor at the College of International Security Affairs, argues that the 1979 siege of Mecca and subsequent political events, led to the rise of al-Qaeda. Gorka argues that it wasn't the seizure of the mosque, but rather the Saudi government's response to the seizure, that led to Saudi Arabia becoming a hotbed of Islamic extremism.
Dr. Sebastian L. v. Gorka is director of the National Security Fellows Program and Military Affairs Fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracy and a contributing Co-Editor of the 2001 book, Toward a Grand Strategy Against Terrorism.
