Al-Qaeda's leadership in Pakistan and its affiliates in Africa remain the biggest threats to US and its interests abroad, a US government report says.
The annual terrorism report states that al-Qaeda encountered setbacks in 2009 but has proved to be "resilient and adaptable"
Iran was said to be the most active "state sponsor" of terrorism, as with previous years
