Another aim of the jihad movement, Zawahiri stressed, is to "come closer" to ordinary Muslims by establishing "one of its wings to work with the masses, preach, provide services for the Muslim people, and share their concerns through all available avenues for charity and educational work." That appears to reflect the relative success of such groups as Hamas and Hezbollah, which have conducted terrorist operations while also running schools and medical clinics.
