Organizations like Al-Qaeda have been around a long time - indeed, people are mistaken to believe Al-Qaeda is the only big organization out there. In many many nations, terrorist organizations have been around and have long been mistaken as just solo jobs (at least, that is the perception in America).
Nowadays people say "oh gahd it's al-qaeda" on anything when, in fact, terrorist organizations are all around in every nation. Remember the gas attacks in Japan's subway? It's not Al-Qaeda but they have their own organizations who did it.
But here's the point though: Who makes up those organizations? Those same people who would and could do those solo jobs. You don't find regular people to do terrorist jobs. You find those people who are desperate to do it.
It's those smaller people who make up the bigger organization. And there's always the though that even if you do take out leadership like Osama bin Laden and others - who were the ones who were flying the planes? Not the big leaders, the lower level ones and their scrubs who were willing to do it.
