To deal with the comic book prelude book first. Imagine that you're Killian. You send your men around the world to pretend to be the most infamous terrorist group in the world. What would you gain from such an action? Absolutely nothing! Both the US Army and S.H.I.E.L.D. hunt the Ten Rings, and if your men play the Ten Rings, you would make them a target for the entire US military. There's also a possibility that when the US Army or S.H.I.E.L.D. capture one of those Ten Rings impersonators, they would force him to talk and find on him some evidence that would connect him with Killian and A.I.M. Therefore, in this scenario, you can only loose your men and resources, and gain nothing.
