******************************
Al-Qaeda's finances are at their weakest point in years due to a successful campaign to close off major sources of funding. In this article, Matthew Levitt examines the options left to the group, which is increasingly turning to a model of low-level threats from individuals, rather than spectacular orchestrated attacks.
