While far from perfect, the first round in the fight went to the US. Al-Qaeda lost the sanctuaries from which it planned its attacks; many of its leaders were killed or captured; and its central communications were severely disrupted.
尽管远远称不上完美，但美国赢得了战争的第一个回合。基地组织失去了策划袭击活动的庇护所，很多高层领导人物命丧黄泉或锒铛入狱，其核心领导层的消息传递也严重受阻。
