‘The first book to provide a political sociology of warlordism in Afghanistan; its purpose is to understand in detail how warlord polities work, expand and disintegrate. Empires of Mud will become required reading, both for academics and policy-makers studying the phenomenon of warlordism, and for those with a specialist interest in Afghanistan.’ — Dr Jonathan Goodhand, School of Oriental and African Studies

Warlords, namely charismatic military leaders who exploit the weakness of central authorities to seize control of and autonomously rule a sub- national area, have earned much notoriety in recent years on account of the excesses of civil wars in Liberia, Somalia and Afghanistan. But notwithstanding their bad reputation, war- lords have often participated in state formation. In Empires of Mud Giustozzi analyses the dynamics of warlordism in Afghanistan within the context of such debates. The lion’s share of the book consists of an in- depth analysis of the systems of rule—political, economic, military—which developed under Afghanistan’s two foremost warlords, Ismail Khan and Abdul Rashid Dostum, both of whom still wield considerable power even after the intervention of Allied forces in Afghanistan in 2001. Their two systems are compared, highlighting convergences and divergences, in order to explain how warlords administer the areas that they control within so-called ‘failed states’, in the process challeng­ing much of the received wisdom in scholarly and policy circles about warlordism. The author also discusses Ahmad Shah Massoud, whose ‘system’ ANTONIO GIUSTOZZI has spent more than incorporated elements of rule not dissimilar from a decade visiting, researching and writing on that of the warlords.

2 HURST Afghanistan | Pakistan 2010 DECODING THE NEW TALIBAN INSIGHTS FROM THE AFGHAN FIELD ANTONIO GIUSTOZZI

‘Far removed from the usual clichés and hasty generalisations, Decoding the New Taliban offers the reader a keen, first-hand sense of field re- search in Afghanistan, with all its uncertainties and contradictions. The authors, working on different regions or themes, offer new data and thought-provoking analyses. This book is an important step in understanding our failure in the current war.’ — Gilles Dorronsoro, Carnegie Insights from the Afghan Field Endowment for International Peace and author of Revolution Unending: Afghanistan 1979 to the Present Antonio Giustiozzi editor

While the ‘New Taliban’ looms large in the global media, little is known about how it functions as an organisation. How united is it? Are its structures relatively strong, or surprisingly brittle? Are personal relations and networking based on traditional ties of kin and ethnicity the sum total of its organisational capabilities, or are efforts underway to build more institutionalised chains of command? How united is the New Taliban, and how does it maintain whatever degree of unity it has, given the attrition it has suffered in the field? And to what extent is its leadership able to impose switches in strategy among the rank-and-file, given Afghanistan’s difficult geography and poor communications? These are among the questions answered in this book by a renowned cast of practitioners, journa­- lists and academics, all of whom have long field experience of the latest phase of the New Taliban’s insurgency in Afghanistan. Decoding the New Taliban includes a number of detailed studies of specific regions or provinces, which for different reasons are especially significant for the Taliban and for under­- standing their expansion. Alongside these regional studies, the volume includes thematic analyses of negotiating with the Taliban, the Taliban’s propag­- anda effort and its strategic vision.

‘Provides a balanced, objective and unsensation- alised consideration of the emergence of the neo-Taliban, taking on board the many perspec- tives and insights provided by numerous actors and analysts while also drawing on the author’s own conclusions. In so-doing, it covers new and important ground in research on Afghanistan.’ — Peter Marsden, author, The Taliban: War, Religion and the New Order in Afghanistan (1998)

‘The Taliban were routed but not defeated in the dying days of 2001. This detailed study chronicles the rise of what Giustozzi labels “The Neo-Taliban”. Separate chapters treat how and why the neo-Taliban were recruited, their organization, their tactics and strategy, and the counterinsurgency efforts of the Afghan govern- ment and its outside supporters. With copious cross-referencing, he works in such subjects as the continued involvement of Pakistan, the drug trade, neo-Taliban relations with Al Qaeda, and the rural-versus-urban dimension of this struggle. Giustozzi’s main argument is that the neo-Taliban would have been no more than a nuisance but for their ability to exploit the weakness of the Afghan state, “both as it was originally conceived and as it was ‘rebuilt’ from 2001.” He concludes that reining in the neo-Taliban by arms or diplomacy will be more difficult now than reining in the original was five years ago. He also sees the group’s strategy as having shifted in its new form from national resistance to global Jihad.’ — Foreign Affairs

But Farzana Shaikh has a more radical analysis of the origins of Pakistan’s problems. The Chatham House fellow argues that the troubles of the country stem from its very inception; from an uncertainty about what Pakistan, as a nation, should represent, and what it means to be a Pakistani.’ — The Independent

‘Intellectually acute, impressively researched, and strongly argued.’ — Anatol Lieven, The American Prospect

‘Farzana Shaikh’s knowledge is encyclopedic, her methods of analysis simple but intense, her farzana shaikh writing beautifully lucid—there is nobody better to explain what Barack Obama calls the most dangerous place in the world.’ — Ahmed Rashid

In praise of The Accidental Guerrilla

‘For a wider perspective on the lessons drawn over the past seven years of the “war on terror”, the reader can do no better than turn to Mr Kilcullen’s excellent book. The Accidental Guerrilla has an anthropologist’s sense of social dynamics and a reporter’s eye for telling detail. If T.E. Lawrence evoked the means of waging irregular warfare in his 1926 classic, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Mr Kilcullen describes the practitioner’s art of comb‑ ating insurgents.’ — The Economist

‘The Accidental Guerrilla is a master class in counterinsurgency.’ — The Boston Globe

David Kilcullen is one of the world’s most influen- tial experts on counterinsurgency and modern warfare, a ground-breaking theorist whose ideas ‘are revolutionizing military thinking throughout the west’ (Washington Post). Indeed, this Australian former soldier’s vision of modern warfare power- fully influenced America’s decision to rethink its military strategy in Iraq and implement ‘the Surge,’ now recognized as a dramatic success. In Counter- insurgency, Kilcullen brings together his most salient writings on this vitally important topic. Here is a picture of modern warfare by someone who has had his boots on the ground in some of today’s worst trouble spots—including Iraq and Afghani- stan—and who has been studying counterinsur- gency since 1985. Moreover, as noted in a profile DAVID KILCULLEN was formerly the Senior of Kilcullen in The New Yorker, the author is ‘an Counterinsurgency Advisor to General David energetic writer who avoids military and social- Petraeus in Iraq and is now currently advising science jargon.’ Filled with down-to-earth, common- General Stanley Mc Chrystal, the US and NATO sense insights, this book is the definitive account commander in Afghanistan. Kilcullen is also of counterinsurgency in the post 9/11 era. Adjunct Professor of Security Studies, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and a Fellow at the Center for a New American Security.

6 HURST Afghanistan | Pakistan 2010 THE ACCIDENTAL GUERRILLA FIGHTING SMALL WARS IN THE MIDST OF A BIG ONE DAVID KILCULLEN

‘This book should be required reading for anyone involved in the war on terror. Kilcullen’s central concept of the “accidental guerrilla” is brilliant and the policy prescriptions that flow from it important. And that’s not all; the book has many more insights drawn from various battlefields.’ — Fareed Zakaria, Newsweek fighting small wars in the midst of a big one ‘David Kilcullen’s Accidental Guerrilla is a richly re- ported and well written account of the new way of war of the twenty-first century; how those “small wars” will differ from previous conflicts and what they have in common with past insurgencies and counterinsurgencies. Analytically very sharp and also an engrossing read, Kilcullen’s book is destined to become a classic study of warfare in our new century.’ — Peter Bergen, author of Holy War, Inc. and The Osama and Laden I Know, is CNN’s national security analyst.

Kilcullen’s The Accidental Guerrilla is a perceptive, david kilcullen argumentative handbook on how to fix a problem. [...] His argument is that while “there is a global enemy”, it amounts to “only 2 per cent to 5 per cent of the people we’ve been fighting since 9/11”. Many of the others are “Accidental Terrorists”, provoked into retaliation by intrusion into their territory or disputes. [...] His strength is in knowledge of the different enemies and their motivation, and it is his case that without understanding those subtle- ties, the battle is lost.’ — The Times

‘This book is essential.... Kilcullen skillfully interprets the future of counterinsurgency, the proper use of military force and what we must learn from our losses and mistakes. After reading The Accidental Guerrilla, one is left to wonder why the Pentagon did not listen to his sage advice back in 2003.’ — New York Times Book Review

‘Landscapes of the Jihad is, in its unconventional thinking, an oasis in the wearisome desert of Al-Qaeda studies. It is, in the best possible sense, subversive.’ — The Economist

‘A brilliant long essay on the ethical underpinnings of modern Jihad Martyrdom, observes Devji rightly, ‘’only achieves meaning by being witnessed by the media.’’ It is, in short, a horrendous form of advertising.’ — New York Review of Books

‘One of the most intelligent analyses of the world­- view of the militant Islamist.’ — The New Statesman

‘Devji’s very original book analyses Al Qaeda and jihad in metaphysical terms, discarding geostrategic and cultural factors, hence the West is presented as a metaphysical entity....His original analysis of the writings of Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al- Zawahiri is very illuminating and substantiates his iconoclastic approach.’ — Professor Olivier Roy

Al Qaeda and its jihad, Devji suggests, are only the most visible manifestations of wider changes in the Muslim world. Such changes include the fragmen- tation of traditional as well as fundamentalist forms of authority. In his view Al Qaeda represents a new way of organising Muslim belief and practise within a global landscape and does not require ideological or institutional unity. Offering a compelling explanation for the central purpose of Al Qaeda’s jihad against the West, the meaning of its strategies and tactics, and its moral and aesthetic dimensions, Landscapes of the Jihad is at once a sophisticated work of historical and cultural analysis and an invaluable guide to the world’s most prominent terrorist movement.

‘Faisal Devji finds room for the terrorist inside a paradoxical analysis of the new global politics made possible by spectacular events and shared concerns. His book is destined to become one of the most influential works on the meaning of Islamic global militancy.’ — E. Roger Owen, A.J. Militant Islam and Global Politics Meyer Professor of Middle East History, Harvard FAISAL DEVJI University

‘This brilliantly provocative book upsets many of the conventional understandings of “Islamic terrorism’” which pervade the Western academy and public life.’ — Sir Christopher Bayly, Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, University of Cambridge

‘Faisal Devji has, as usual, written a fascinating book. Starting with an apparent paradox (terror- ists as humanitarians), he explores in depth the modernity of al-Qaeda and the real nature of hu- manitarian concerns. He has provided us with a profound philosophical analysis of globalization.’ — Professor Olivier Roy

‘An original, timely and extremely impressive contribution to the scholarship on militant Islam and contemporary global politics...Devji’s analytical focus is the moral economy of militant Islam’s struggle against the West. While, for those operating within it, this struggle contains the potential for a new global politics, he shows how Islamic militancy­ suffers from de-politicisation as a consequence of its global diffusion, lack of political instrumentality and institutional realisa- tion. The result of this is an “existential dimension” to militant ideas and practices which Devji ela‑ borates upon while also offering substantive his- torical and conceptual engagement with their separate themes.’ — Shane Brighton, Birkbeck College, University of London FAISAL DEVJI is Reader in the History of South Asia, St Antony’s College, Oxford University.

‘Maley gives a balanced and sober account of Afghanistan’s situation. ... it is a depressingly familiar story of political infighting and well-meaning but misguided interference followed up by broken promises.’ — Adelaide Review

Afghanistan remains on a knife-edge and has relapsed into dangerous insecurity. Elite political competition is fierce, and President Hamid Karzai remains wedded to a politics of bargaining and networking that has seen unappetising figures promoted to positions they have then abused. The political background to the resurgence of the Taliban is one of the key themes addressed in William Maley’s volume.

The victims included not only the Indian elite, but also Jews and Westerners The Mumbai attacks announced Lashkar-e- Taiba’s emergence on the world stage. Lashkar rose to prominence on the back of Pakistani state sponsorship for the insurgency in Kashmir, but has sent fighters to Iraq and Afghanistan as well as providing essential assistance to al- Qaeda.

Or were they simply the latest attempts by which the group sought to harm Pakistan’s Stephen tankel historic rival, India? This book attempts to provide the back-story necessary to address these and other pressing questions. It charts Lashkar’s development from a small group unable to make a dent in the Afghan jihad against the Soviets to the most feared organiza- tion in Kashmir and India as well as a powerhouse in Pakistani society. Along the way, it considers the nature of the threat Lashkar poses to Pakistan, India, and the West and how that threat has STEPHEN TANKEL is an Associate Fellow at the evolved since the Mumbai attacks.

‘ . . . will be of interest not only to those concerned with Pakistan and the new Muslim presence in Europe, but also to those interested in an anthropological study of religion.’ — Barbara Metcalf, University of California, Davis

Pnina Werbner traces the development of a Sufi Naqshbandi order founded by a living saint, Zindapir, whose cult originated in Pakistan and has extended globally to Britain, Europe, the Middle East, and southern Africa. Drawing on twelve years of fieldwork in Pakistan, she elucidates the complex organization of Sufi orders as regional and transnational cults, and examines how such cults are manifested through ritual action and embodied in sacred mythology and global diasporas.

‘Milam’s book is not only eminently readable, but also a most timely reminder of the volatile Bangladesh atmosphere in two significant states of South and Asia. In Milam’s view, “like a thorn in the foot, Islamism is an unnatural addition to the Bangla- deshi polity that can be easily removed when Flirting with Failure in South Asia Pakistan governments become more efficient and effec- tive.” However, in Pakistan, if the ambiguity of the army towards the jihadists “persists under the civilian government now in charge, Pakistan may become, before the war on terror ends, part of the terrorist problem instead of part of the solution.”’ — The Book Review

‘Milam has written an extremely valuable book. The clarity of his writing, the comprehensiveness of his coverage, and the underlying terms of his argument make this book essential for anyone with an interest in South Asian politics. As a teaching tool, this book is indispensable, every scholar responsible for a course on modern South Asian history, and modern South Asian politics, should William B.

14 HURST Afghanistan | Pakistan 2010 PAKISTAN: A MODERN HISTORY IAN TALBOT

FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED

‘A first rate history . . . each new tellingof the Pakistan story inevitably throws up new insights . . . this book is replete with them . . . an objective and positive assessment. The most up to date single volume account of Pakistan.’ — Friday Times, Lahore

’Bound to become a standard reference among the watchers of South Asia.’ — Publishers Weekly

’Essential reading for scholars and students seeking an informed narrative of Pakistani political history.’ — Journal of Asian Studies

This book fills the need for a broad, historically sophisticated understanding of Pakistan, a country which is understood by many in the West only in terms of stereotypes—the fanatical, authoritar- ian and reactionary ‘other’ which is unfavourably compared to a tolerant, democratic and progres- sive India. Pakistan is in reality a complex plural society, which although greatly shaped by the colonial inheritance and circumstances of its birth, is also experiencing rapid change. Talbot’s ap- proach breaks down stereotypes and assists in answering the vexed question of why democracy has succeeded in India, while Pakistan has been subject to long periods of authoritarianism during its five decades of existence. He brings the story of Pakistan right up to date and discusses the rise of jihadi militancy, the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and the resilience of its people in the face of military dictatorship and economic hardship.

IAN TALBOT, Professor of History at Southampton University, is one of Europe’s leading historians of South Asia, and the author of many books on the sub-continent.

‘This book excels at detailing the mechanics of Islamist movements, and rightly focuses on Pakistan as a state of concern. Rich in data and facts, it is commendable in drawing together the various under-reported strings and details of an increasingly violent Islamist movement.’ — RUSI Journal

Al Qaeda was unable to flex its muscles until it found sanctuary in Afghanistan. But why was its sanctuary not attacked before September 2001, in particular after the bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998? Abou Zahab and Roy argue that this was because the Taliban was only part of a much wider radical Islamic network in the region, whose true centre was Pakistan, not Afghanistan. Al Qaeda, the Taliban, the Pakistani Deobandis, the IMU of Uzbekistan—all these groups are based in Pakistan, which served, and serves, as the regional hub for Islamist movements and their terrorist offshoots. What is the history of this phenomenon? Above all, given their divergent histories and doctrinal rifts, how were these disparate Islamist movements slowly coor- dinated with the aim of attacking what became their common adversary, the United States? This book investigates and explains the gestation over almost 25-years of these interlinked radical Islamist networks of Pakistan, Central Asia and Afghanistan, including the support they have received from Pakistan’s Inter-Services-Intelli- gence agency (ISI).

MARIAM ABOU ZAHAB, a specialist on Pakistan, is director of studies at INALCO, Paris. OLIVIER ROY, a researcher at CERI in Paris, is a world authority on Islam and politics. His books include Globalised Islam (Hurst, 2009) and The Politics of Chaos in the Middle East (Hurst, 2008). His latest book, Holy Ignorance, will be published by Hurst in June 2010

16 HURST Afghanistan | Pakistan 2010 SHOPPING FOR BOMBS NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION, GLOBAL INSECURITY AND THE RISE AND FALL OF THE A.Q. KHAN NETWORK GORDON CORERA

‘Gordon Corera has written a book you will not be able to put down. It reads like a thriller, but it is true! He has done an impressive job in research- ing and describing the extraordinary threat we face from nuclear weapons falling into the hands of those who wish us harm.’ — Professor Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University

‘A superb account of how A.Q. Khan, the pioneer of nuclear black marketeering, exploited the forces of globalisation and loopholes in the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty to provide what IAEA Secret‑ ary-General, Mohamed El-Baradei, called the“Wal- Mart of private sector proliferation”.‘ — Professor Graham Allison, Harvard University

‘Shopping for Bombs is a clearly written and fascinating account of one of the most important episodes in the history of weapons of mass de- struction—Pakistan’s illicit and successful effort to build nuclear weapons and then to spread nu- clear materials across the globe, an effort spear- headed by the maverick scientist A.Q. Khan. Corera has produced an even-handed and absorbing history of that important story.’ — Peter Bergen, author of the Osama bin Laden I Know and Holy War, Inc.

Shopping for Bombs presents the first detailed account of the emergence of Pakistan’s nuclear hero A.Q. Khan as the world’s leading black market salesman of nuclear weapons technology. It reveals the inside story of how he sold the most dangerous technology in the world to Iran, North Korea and Libya.

‘This is a brilliant book, a major achievement of Matthew J. Nelson research, scholarship and understanding. It makes a major contribution to our understanding of the history and politics of Pakistan.’ — Professor Francis Robinson, CBE, editor, The Cambridge Illustrated History of Islam

Recent events in Pakistan and more widely in the Islamic world have sparked an unprecedented level of interest in the relationship between Islam and democracy. Studies of Islamic law (shari’ah) lie at the very centre of this trend, but carefully researched studies of Islamic law as it actually un- folds ‘on the ground’ remain extremely rare. This book promises to fill this gap, using a detailed study of Islamic law in Pakistan to show exactly how the relationship between Islam, Islamic law, and democracy is understood, acted upon, and potentially transformed in different In the Shadow of cultural contexts. In the Shadow of Shari‘ah reveals that Islam and democracy are neither compatible nor incompat- ible in any permanent sense; they simply become more or less compatible owing to the historically Islam, Islamic Law, and Democracy in Pakistan embedded choices of individual Muslims regard- ing specific approaches to the terms of Islamic law.

18 HURST Afghanistan | Pakistan 2010 FRAGMENTS OF THE AFGHAN FRONTIER MAGNUS MARSDEN AND BENJAMIN D. HOPKINS

Despite the long and intimate history of engage- ment along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan’s North-West, this area and its relationship to the world remains poorly understood in the West’s popular imagination. Through the construction of a collage of historical narratives and intense ethnographic encounters, Marsden and Hopkins argue that the simplistic stereotypes and tropes that all too often masquer- ade as knowledge about the Frontier not only conceal a more complex reality, but are also a source Fragments of the problems that local and international actors alike face there. Not some simple isolated depot of radical terrorists or instrumental tribesmen, the Frontier is a space of richly textured meaning, constructed through a history of movement of its Frontier inhabitants and their understanding of the world Benjamin Hopkins | Magnus Marsden beyond. Fragments of the Afghan Frontier offers a corrective to simplistic understanding both of the region’s history and its current realities, leaving the reader with a deeper understanding of the ever-evolving complexity of this globally significant region.

‘. . . an ambitious attempt to draw on different disciplines and different sources of information to illuminate the history of the tribal territories of the North West Frontier. ... a stimulating mixture of history and anthropology.’ — Dr David Page, author, Prelude to Partition: The Indian Muslims and the Imperial System of Control, 1920–1932

‘Haroon offers a fascinating street-level view of frontier life and politics.’ — Basharat Peer, The Nation

Frontier of Faith examines the history of Islam —especially that of local mullahs—in the North- West Frontier. A largely autonomous zone strad- dling the boundary of Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Tribal Areas was established as a strategic buffer zone for British India, and the resulting autonomy allowed local mullahs to assume roles of tremen- dous power. After Partition in 1947, the Tribal Areas maintained its status as an autonomous region, and for the next fifty years the mullahs supported armed mobilizations in exchange for protection of their vested interests in regional freedom. Consequently the Frontier has become the hinter- land of successive, contradictory jihads in support of Pashtun ethnicism, anti-colonial nationalism, Pakistani territorialism, religious revivalism, Afghan anti-Soviet resistance, and anti-Americanism. Considering this territory is said to be the current hiding place of Osama bin Laden, there couldn’t be a better time for a sourcebook detailing the intricacies of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border- lands today and the function of the mullahs and their allies.

20 HURST Afghanistan | Pakistan 2010 ISLAM AND THE AHMADIYYA JAMA’AT HISTORY, BELIEF, PRACTICE SIMON ROSS VALENTINE

‘Valentine’s work may be considered the most reliable introduction to the Ahmadiyya currently available . . . Highly recommended.’ — Choice

‘The Ahmadiyya Jama’at is a very personal book, written from the position of a participant observer. It is the first accessible study of this Muslim community and is comprehensive in its coverage of their history, beliefs, and current existence. Simon Ross Valentine offers an inside view that will be of value to non-Muslims working with Muslims, and it is a view given with great respect.’ — Francis Robinson, University of London

Simon Ross Valentine has written the first schol- arly evaluation of the teachings, beliefs, and lifestyle of the Ahmaddiya Jama’at, an Islamic reform group founded in nineteenth-century India that currently boasts millions of followers worldwide. To the great aggravation of other Muslims, the Ahmadis assert that prophets ex- isted after Muhammad, a controversial belief that has led to fierce persecution, especially in South Asia, where the government has declared the Ahmadis to be non-Muslims.

Valentine explores other major claims made by the Ahmadis, including their assertion that Jesus, instead of dying on the cross (as Christians believe) or ascending to heaven after the crucifixion (as mainstream Muslims teach), in fact escaped from the Romans and settled in Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir and the alleged location of Christ’s tomb. After an account of the life of the movement’s founder, Ghulam Mirza Ahmad, Valentine discusses the history of the Ahmadis, their proselytization strategies, the role of mosques and madrasas, the position of women within the religion, and the Ahmadis’ doctrine of a peaceful jihad. SIMON ROSS VALENTINE is a lecturer in religious studies at Bradford University.

Yunas Samad’s trenchant analysis of contempo- rary Pakistan features five main players: the The people, the army, the Islamists, the politicians and the Americans. He explains how a series Pakistan-Us of alliances borne of political and strategic ConUndrUm expediency have continually undermined the Jihadists, military and the People -the struggle for Control state to the extent that its very existence is Yunas samad now in jeopardy. Much of the country is now under the de facto control of an indigenous, ‘Pakistani’, Taliban yet even in this parlous situation Pakistan’s military and intelligence apparatus continue to be obsessed with waging a proxy war against India, whether in Kashmir or Afghanistan, at the expense of their own state’s stability. Such high- stakes contests for strategic and political power have also harmed Pakistan’s economy, argues Samad, impoverishing many of its people while the military ‘state within a state elite’ benefits from American largesse and a tiny business elite enjoys the rich pickings of the of neo-liberal policies enacted at the behest of international agencies. In conclusion Samad returns to his key themes: explaining how ordinary Pakistanis have been ignored by the country’s military and civilian rulers, how their material circumstances have steadily deteriorated over the last twenty or more years and how grand strategic designs fashioned in Islamabad and Washington continue to under- mine political life and have ushered in forms of Islamist and sectarian politics that hitherto were largely unknown.

22 HURST Afghanistan | Pakistan 2010 INSIDE THE GLOBAL JIHAD HOW I INFILTRATED AL QAEDA AND WAS ABANDONED BY WESTERN INTELLIGENCE OMAR NASIRI

‘Reads like a John le Carré novel.’ — International Herald Tribune OMAR NASIRI

‘A terrific book. Omar Nasiri offers a groundbreak- ing account of the process by which young men became mujahidin. His description of life inside the Afghan training camps is more complete than any intelligence we had available to us in the 1990s. It indicates a level of professionalism within the camps that we were only able to infer from the fragmentary accounts available to us —and which policymakers dismissed at the time as CIA scare-mongering.’ — Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA’s Osama bin Laden Unit and author of Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror

‘A chillingly detailed portrait of life inside the Afghan training camps. Omar Nasiri’s memoir offers a unique insider’s perspective on the crucial INSIDE years during which a loosely connected group of regional Islamist movements coalesced into Al THE GLOBAL JIHAD Qaeda’s global jihad.’— Ahmed Rashid, author of the no. 1 New York Times bestseller, Taliban How I Infi ltrated Al Qaeda and Was Abandoned by Western Intelligence Between 1994 and 2000, Omar Nasiri worked as a secret agent for Europe’s top foreign intelligence services—including France’s DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure), and Britain’s MI5 and MI6. From the netherworld of Islamist cells in Belgium, to the training camps of Afghan- istan, to the radical mosques of London, he risked his life to defeat the emerging global network that the West would come to know as Al Qaeda. This is the remarkable true story—attested by specialists in international espionage and security—of the man who infiltrated Al Qaeda in Europe, Pakistan and Afghanistan. GORDON CORERA, the BBC’s security corre­ spondent, provides an introduction to Omar Nasiri’s memoir.
