Where did you get that number from?
I know it has gone down since this was written (3/2/07) because IAI, 1920 and others have left Al Qaeda but I have heard up to 50% of insurgencies are aliened with Al Qaeda now.

The hardcore true believers of al-Qaida at one time were probably 10 percent of the insurgent groups. Now they're 50 percent.
