Because the 'al' in Al-Qaeda is part of the terrorist group's name, I would capitalize it. However, the 'al' in Al- Qaeda is capitalized and not capitalized in many publications. 'Al' is an Arabic word that usually translates to the English word 'the' although 'al' never stands alone and is always a prefix to another words.
