Al-Qaida's Jihad in
Europe: The Afghan-Bosnian Network
"About [Al-Qaida's]
operations in Europe, Evan F. Kohlmann has written an illuminating
book... Kohlmann is at his best in exhaustively reporting the
details of such terrorist episodes. He has compiled prodigious
research about the perpetrators and their support networks.
Moreover, he never loses sight of the strategy behind the individual
attacks... [a] genuine historical analysis."
- Political Science Quarterly (PSQ)
"This book is a
pathbreaking piece of research… Kohlmann addresses the issue in
unprecedented detail, exploiting a wide variety of available sources
to piece together a largely neglected segment of contemporary
Bosnian history… [which] provide critical insights into terrorist
preferences, motives, and interests… The book… is descriptive and
empirically rich."
- Studies in Conflict and Terrorism
"Written by a genuine
expert in the subject... this is a lucid and informed account of the
involvement of the mujahedin in Bosnia, one that lays the myths to
rest... This excellent book is essential reading for anyone wishing
to understand the truth about an episode of the Bosnian war that is
so frequently misrepresented by those with a political motive for
doing so."
- Dr. Marko Hoare,
History Faculty, University of Cambridge

Islamic Militants Claim Hacking Attack on U.S. Army
Computer System
Islamic militants claim to
have hacked into a U.S. Army computer system based in
South Korea. The militants were able to seize control of
the system in June 2004, but “did not seek to
[immediately] destroy the system… in order to spy on
them.” To prove the veracity of these claims, the
hackers produced a screenshot of the Windows desktop
from the hijacked military computer, along with several
files covertly downloaded from the system.

Briton Sought for Supporting Jihad on the Web
Authorities in Connecticut
have unsealed an arrest warrant for Briton Babar Ahmad,
deemed responsible for the operation of several
terrorist-linked websites. The two sites, founded by an
organization known as Azzam Publications, were used to
support Islamic militants in Bosnia, Chechnya, and
Afghanistan. The websites of Azzam Publications were
directly endorsed by senior mujahideen leaders,
including the legendary military commander
Ibn-ul-Khattab in Chechnya. |

Trail in U.K. Cyber-Jihad Case Leads to London,
Connecticut, N.J.
The investigation of British Internet
jihad supporter Babar Ahmad by federal authorities in
Connecticut appears to have led to several other
suspects within the U.S. who were aiding Ahmad in
providing material support to designated international
terrorist organizations. One of the men, New Jersey
computer engineer Mazen Mokhtar, has recently served as
an outspoken leader at Masjid al-Huda in New Brunswick,
New Jersey. |

IAI Calls for Resurrection of the Al-Hesbah Forum
The Islamic Army in Iraq (IAI)--a
prominent Sunni insurgent faction based in central
Iraq--has released a statement citing the importance of
"jihadi media" work. According to the statement, "the
Al-Hesbah network forum... strengthens the mujahideen
and includes uplifting and delightful news about their
operations. [Those of us] in the Islamic Army of Iraq…
feel that the administrators of the Al-Hesbah network
are so sincere in their dealing with the jihadi
organizations that they have become the subject of envy.
This is precisely why we ask blessed Allah to enable the
administrators of this website to resume their
informational jihad as soon as possible."

Al-Hesbah Announces Arrest of Administrator
The Al-Hesbah network media forum has
released their sixth official public statement
announcing the arrest of a chief web administrator known
as Abu Musab al-Mohtaseb. According to the document, "He
was arrested... for spreading truth… The crusaders
realized the importance of the threat posed by the
Islamic media forums that uncovered their lies and stood
in the way of their campaigns of misinformation and
deception... due to several recent developments, [Al-Hesbah]’s
administrators decided to reopen the network... taking
all the precautions they can, in order to reassume their
media role." |
