An occasional report prepared on behalf of the NEFA Foundation is now available for download analyzing the origins and structure of Al-Qaida's Committee in the Arabian Peninsula during its first two years of operation, 2002-2003. The report focuses on the cells inspired by senior Saudi Al-Qaida operative Shaykh Yousef al-Ayyiri (a.k.a. "Al-Battar") and includes analysis of the roles played by extremist Saudi Arabian clerics and U.S. national Ahmed Omar Abu Ali--recently convicted of conspiring with Saudi Al-Qaida members to carry out terrorist attacks in the United States, including the assassination of President George Bush.
