The "Media Wing of the Kuwaiti Mujahideen" has issued a statement claiming responsibility for an alleged attack on a Kuwaiti military base and the subsequent murders of three Americans and a South Korean national in the Umm al-Haiman district. According to the communique, at least one individual was "martyred" during the operation: Abu al-Baraa al-Kandahari (identified by Reuters as Saudi Arabian national Hamada al-Enezi). South Korean Foreign Ministry officials have denied receiving any reports of Korean citizens missing from southern Kuwait.

Al-Qaida's Jihad in Europe: The Afghan-Bosnian Network

PURCHASE ONLINE VIA AMAZON.COM

"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."
