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

New Communiqué from "Al-Islambouli Brigades"
A group called the "Al-Islambouli

on Pakistani Prime Minister-designate Shaukat Aziz. A
suicide bomber exploded at a campaign rally near Fateh
Jang, narrowly missing the Prime Minister and killing at

of wanted Al-Qaida operative Ahmed Ghailani in the town
of Gujrat by Pakistani security forces. |

A Profile of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET) - Pakistan
The United Nations has finally announced the designation
of the Pakistani terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba
[LET] (a.k.a. "The Army of Medina", "The Army of the
Pure and Righteous") under UN resolution 1267 for
connections to Al-Qaida, the Taliban, and Usama Bin
Laden. Over the past two decades, the virulently
anti-American founders of LET--including a well-known
Saudi Al-Qaida member--have allowed their organization
to serve as a recruiting and training mechanism for
foreign terrorists based in Bosnia, Chechnya,
Afghanistan, and Kashmir--including several American,
British, and Australian Muslim converts. |

U.S. Citizen Trained at Terror Camp in Pakistan
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested a
Pakistani-American father and son living in California
after the son admitted to attending an alleged Al-Qaida
training camp in Pakistan. According to an FBI affidavit
filed in the case, the younger man admitted to attending
a "jihadist training camp" in Pakistan for six months
during 2003-2004. The son allegedly told the FBI that
the camp was "run by Al-Qaeda" and that weapons
instructors at the camp used photos of "high ranking
U.S. political figures"--including President Bush--as
suggested targets. Since 2002, several suspected
terrorist training camps affiliated with Al-Qaida have
surfaced along the Pakistani-Afghan border in Waziristan.
Globalterroralert.com is making available video of one
such terror training camp believed located in Waziristan. |
