al-Qaeda Documents Vol. 3
IntelCenter, Aug 2011, Pages: 364
This volume is the third in 'The al-Qaeda Documents' series of books by Tempest Publishing and IntelCenter. The series is designed to pull together key documents necessary to develop a solid understanding of how al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations operate.
The documents enclosed in the first volume consist of court documents related to al-Qaeda operatives in the US, the USS Cole Bombing, the East Africa Embassy Bombings and the Zacarias Moussaoui case. This volume also contains the translations of five articles/statements from al-Qaeda members Osama bin Laden, Saif al-Adel, Abu 'Ubeid al-Qurashi, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Seif al-Din al-Ansari and al-Qaeda's Political Bureau.
The article entitled, 'Message to Our People in Iraq and the Gulf [region] Specifically, and to our Islamic Ummah in General: The Islamic Resistance Against the American Invasion of Qandahar and Lessons Learned' by Saif al-Adel is of particular note. As the name implies, the article is essentially a lessons learned report covering various aspects of the fighting in Afghanistan and how this knowledge can be applied by mujahideen in Iraq. It provides valuable insights into al-Qaeda's operations in Afghanistan, as well as the mujahideen tactics being employed in Iraq today.
It is hoped that this volume and others to follow will help increase the level of understanding of al-Qaeda and its affiliates by counterterrorism professionals and thus better prepare us for this most difficult of conflicts.
