Detaineethen traveled to southem Afghanistan where he learnedUBL had returned from Sudan.t By late 1996,detainee wanted to leam the statusof some of his uncles who had gone to Afghanistan for jihad. He also wanted to know more about the Taliban. During this timeframe,while Harrzaal-Ghamdi was servingas one of UBL's bodyguards, detaineesaw UBL for the secondtime, in Kandahar, and listened to him speakabout the coming battlewith the US.6 In early1997, detainee stayed in Afghanistan,traveling back and forth from Kandahar to the front lines of Kabul and Jalalabad.

    AL-QAEDA IN THE UNITED STATES THE EUROPEAN ANGLE TO THE U.S. TERROR THREAT Robin Simcox | Emily Dyer THE EUROPEAN ANGLE TO THE U.S. TERROR THREAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Nineteen individuals (11% of the overall total) who committed al-Qaeda related offenses (AQROs) in the U.S. between 1997 and 2011 were either European citizens or had previously lived in Europe. • The threat to America from those linked to Europe has remained reasonably constant – with European- linked individuals committing AQROs in ten of the fifteen years studied. • The majority (63%) of the nineteen European-linked individuals were unemployed, including all individuals who committed AQROs between 1998 and 2001, and from 2007 onwards. • 42% of individuals had some level of college education. Half of these individuals committed an AQRO between 1998 and 2001, while the remaining two individuals committed offenses in 2009. • 16% of offenders with European links were converts to Islam. Between 1998 and 2001, and between 2003 and 2009, there were no offenses committed by European-linked converts. • Over two thirds (68%) of European-linked offenders had received terrorist training, primarily in Afghanistan. However, nine of the ten individuals who had received training in Afghanistan committed their AQRO before 2002. Only one individual committed an AQRO afterwards (Oussama Kassir, whose charges were filed in 2006). • Among all trained individuals, 92% committed an AQRO between 1998 and 2006. • 16% of individuals had combat experience. However, there were no European-linked individuals with combat experience who committed an AQRO after 2005. • Active Participants – individuals who committed or were imminently about to commit acts of terrorism, or were formal members of al-Qaeda – committed thirteen AQROs (62%).

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE April 03, 2006 Paper Awaits Court Decision on Guantanamo Detainee By HoldtheFrontPage staff The Argus in Brighton is waiting to hear if its campaign for a fair trial for a local man detained at Guantanamo Bay has been successful. The paper is calling on the Government to intervene in the case of Omar Deghayes, and a judicial review has been held to determine whether Foreign Secretary Jack Straw should be ordered to seek his release. Omar's lawyers argued that the Government has a legal and moral responsibility to step in, but it disagrees as he is not a British citizen. Judgement has been reserved as a decision is expected this week. The Argus took up Omar's fight last year, and delivered a dossier to Home Secretary Charles Clarke. He and his family were granted asylum by the UK Government nearly 20 years ago and his home was in Saltdean, Brighton. The dossier included a letter from The Argus' editor Michael Beard, who said: "We believe Mr Deghayes' continued incarceration by the US breaches Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights which states: Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him. "We therefore believe the Government has a duty to lobby the US to charge Mr Deghayes and put him on trial, in accordance with international law, or free him immediately." http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?id=13200 SOURCE: Holdthefrontpage.co.uk Omar Khadr Faces New Hearing BETH GORHAM CANADIAN PRESS Canadian teenager Omar Khadr will once again appear at an American military tribunal this week, even as the U.S.

  • Glossary of Islam - Wikipedia Glossary of Islam from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    8/9/2017 Glossary of Islam - Wikipedia Glossary of Islam From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The following list consists of notable concepts that are derived from both Islamic and Arab tradition, which are expressed as words in the Arabic language. The main purpose of this list is to disambiguate multiple spellings, to make note of spellings no longer in use for these concepts, to define the concept in one or two lines, to make it easy for one to find and pin down specific concepts, and to provide a guide to unique concepts of Islam all in one place. Separating concepts in Islam from concepts specific to Arab culture, or from the language itself, can be difficult. Many Arabic concepts have an Arabic secular meaning as well as an Islamic meaning. One example is the concept of dawah. Arabic, like all languages, contains words whose meanings differ across various contexts. The word Islam is itself a good example. Arabic is written in its own alphabet, with letters, symbols, and orthographic conventions that do not have exact equivalents in the Latin alphabet (see Arabic alphabet). The following list contains transliterations of Arabic terms and phrases; variations exist, e.g. din instead of deen and aqidah instead of aqeedah. Most items in the list also contain their actual Arabic spelling.

  • Al-Qa`Ida's Road in and out of Iraq
    Foreword The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point (CTC) launched the Harmony Project in order to release and analyze documents from the Department of Defense’s classified Harmony Database. The Harmony Project unearths and releases documents that reveal the inner‐functioning of al‐Qa`ida, its associated movements, and other security threats. Harmony documents released by the CTC are always accompanied by an analytical report, but the primary purpose of this process is to make these primary sources available to other scholars. Rather than the final word, CTC Harmony reports should be considered an invitation to further scholarship. This is the CTC’s fifth major Harmony Report. The first, Harmony and Disharmony: al‐Qa`ida’s Organizational Vulnerabilities, explored ways to introduce doubt and mistrust into al‐Qa`ida’s bureaucracy. The second, al‐Qa`ida’s (mis)Adventures in the Horn of Africa, revealed al‐Qa`ida’s frustrated efforts to infiltrate East Africa. The third, Cracks in the Foundation: Leadership Debates in al‐ Qa`ida, described al‐Qa`ida’s most important internal disagreements, including on the wisdom of the 9/11 attacks. The fourth, al‐Qa`ida’s Foreign Fighters in Iraq: A First Look at the Sinjar Records, was based on al‐Qa`ida in Iraq’s personnel records for fighters entering Iraq through Syria. This report, Bombers, Bank Accounts, and Bleedout: al‐Qa`ida’s Road In and Out of Iraq, expands on the first Sinjar Report, introducing new documents and new analysis to provide a better picture of al‐Qa`ida in Iraq’s operations and its prospects for the future.
