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."

U.S. Activist Pleads Guilty in Botched Libyan
Assassination Scheme
Abdurahman Alamoudi, a U.S.-based Muslim
activist who was once a welcome guest at the White
House, has pled guilty to charges that he illegally
accepted thousands of dollars in payments from Libyan
intelligence and its aging leader Moammar Qaddafi.
Alamoudi admitted that some of the funds delivered to
him were intended to underwrite the costs of an abortive
mid-2003 attempt to assassinate Saudi Crown Prince
Abdullah by Islamic militants. |

Assassination Plot Conspirator Financed Al-Qaida
Supporters in U.S.
Tax records show that in 1999,
Abdurahman Alamoudi's group known as "the American
Muslim Foundation (AMF)" gave a $2,000 donation to
Northern Virginia resident Tarik Hamdi for unspecified
purposes. Less than a year earlier, Hamdi had provided
material support directly to Usama Bin Laden and Al-Qaida,
and had served as a press intermediary for U.S.
journalists interested in interviewing Bin Laden at a
secret location inside Afghanistan. |

that Iraqi insurgent groups are being partly financed by
large donations from Saudi-run Islamic charitable
groups. An undated photo shows Ali Bapir, an Iraqi

Missouri Charity Implicated in Funding International
Terrorism
After years of
investigation, U.S. government agencies have taken
punitive action against the Columbia, Missouri-based
Islamic African Relief Agency (IARA) for purported links
to the Taliban, Al-Qaida, and Usama Bin Laden. An
exclusive dossier shows that at least $250,000 IARA
raised for "charity" in 1999 actually ended up in the
coffers of an Al-Qaida front group that provided weapons
and travel documents to the Millenium terror network. |

Terrorist-Linked Charities Active in
Central Iraq
Several purported foreign Islamic "charities" now active
in insurgent-held areas of central Iraq have long
histories of aiding armed Islamic extremist groups
around the world, including Al-Qaida and other
designated terrorists. In this exclusive profile,
Globalterroralert.com reveals how two such suspect
charities with past terrorist ties--the Egyptian Human
Relief Agency (EHRA) and the Turkish Foundation for
Human Rights, Liberties, and Humanitarian Relief (IHH)--are
responsible for funneling over $1 million in supposed
"humanitarian aid" to the Sunni Triangle in the last
eighteen months alone. |

More Contradictions from Missouri Terror
Charity
Attorneys on behalf of the Columbia,
Missouri-based Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA-USA)
have released a new statement accusing the Associated
Press of publishing a "misleading" report and insisting
that IARA-USA is "separate and completely unrelated" to
the Islamic African Relief Agency (IARA) in Khartoum,
Sudan--named on Oct. 13, 2004 by the U.S. Treasury
Department as a specially designated global terrorist
entity. An exclusive Globalterroralert.com report is now
available for download challenging the allegations of
IARA-USA's lawyer Shereef Akeel and illustrating the
documented connection between IARA in Missouri and
Khartoum. |

Oregon Terror Charity Indicted for Alleged Fraud
A federal grand jury in Eugene, Oregon
has returned a three-count indictment against the local
branch of the Saudi Arabian Al-Haramain Islamic
Foundation and two of its officers on charges of
conspiring to defraud the U.S. government. If convicted,
the two men could face between eight to ten years in
prison and the forfeiture of $130,000 in corporate
assets held by the U.S. branch of Al-Haramain. On Sept.
9, 2004, the U.S. Treasury Department named the Oregon
branch of Al-Haramain as a specially-designated Al-Qaida
terrorist front group and ordered its assets frozen. |

Banks as Targets of International Terrorism
A new audio excerpt is available for download from
Globalterroralert.com of Shaykh Abdullah el-Faisal (an
Islamic cleric and supporter of Usama Bin Laden
convicted in the United Kingdom of inciting his
followers to kill Jews) speaking on the subject of
"Jihad: Aims and Objectives." During the audio clip
(recorded shortly prior to 9/11), Faisal suggests that
pious Muslims living in poverty in Western nations
should "wage jihad"--including specifically targeting
banks in Switzerland--in order to gain wealth and
"booty." |
