Der Tod Wird Euch Finden Al-Qaida Und Der Weg Zum 11 LAWRENCE WRIGHT Der Tod wird euch fi nden 112986_Wright_Tod.indd2986_Wright_Tod.indd 1 004.07.20084.07.2008 112:57:542:57:54 Buch „Wo ihr auch sein mögt, der Tod wird euch fi nden, und wäret ihr im hohen Turm.“ Mit diesen dem Koran entlehnten Worten mahnte Osama Bin Laden seine Kämpfer, furchtlos dem Tod entgegenzusehen. Im Rückblick lassen sie sich auch als düstere Warnung an den Feind lesen, dessen Hochhaustürme in New York zum Angriff sziel wurden. Osama Bin Ladens Aufstieg zum weltweit gesuchten Terroristen bildet einen der Erzählstränge in der bislang vollständigsten Rekonstruktion der Vorge- schichte des 11. September. Daneben verfolgt Lawrence Wright, der jahrelang recherchierte und Hunderte von Interviews führte, den Werdegang Ajman al- Sawahiris, Bin Ladens rechter Hand. Ihre Gegenspieler waren der saudische Geheimdienstchef, Prinz Turki al-Faisal, und John O’Neill, der oberste Ter- roristenfahnder des FBI, der in den Trümmern des World Trade Center ums Leben kam. Meisterhaft verknüpft Wright die Lebenswege dieser vier Män- ner zu einer fesselnden Erzählung über die Hintergründe des Terroranschlags, der die Welt veränderte. Autor Lawrence Wright ist ein mehrfach ausgezeichneter amerikanischer Autor, Drehbuchschreiber und Journalist. Seit 1992 arbeitet er für das Magazin „Th e New Yorker“. Sein Bestseller „Der Tod wird euch fi nden“ wurde mit zahl- reichen Preisen geehrt und gewürdigt, unter anderem mit dem renommier- ten Pulitzer-Preis. 112986_Wright_Tod.indd2986_Wright_Tod.indd 2 004.07.20084.07.2008 112:58:532:58:53 Lawrence Wright Der Tod wird euch fi nden Al-Qaida und der Weg zum 11.

    PEACEWORKS Taliban Fragmentation FACT, FICTION, AND FUTURE By Andrew Watkins NO. 160 | MARCH 2020 Making Peace Possible NO. 160 | MARCH 2020 ABOUT THE REPORT This report examines the phenomenon of insurgent fragmentation within Afghanistan’s Tali- ban and implications for the Afghan peace process. This study, which the author undertook PEACE PROCESSES as an independent researcher supported by the Asia Center at the US Institute of Peace, is based on a survey of the academic literature on insurgency, civil war, and negotiated peace, as well as on interviews the author conducted in Afghanistan in 2019 and 2020. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Andrew Watkins has worked in more than ten provinces of Afghanistan, most recently as a political affairs officer with the United Nations. He has also worked as an indepen- dent researcher, a conflict analyst and adviser to the humanitarian community, and a liaison based with Afghan security forces. Cover photo: A soldier walks among a group of alleged Taliban fighters at a National Directorate of Security facility in Faizabad in September 2019. The status of prisoners will be a critical issue in future negotiations with the Taliban. (Photo by Jim Huylebroek/New York Times) The views expressed in this report are those of the author alone.

  • Articles Al-Qaida and the Pakistani Harakat Movement: Reflections and Questions About the Pre-2001 Period by Don Rassler
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 11, Issue 6 Articles Al-Qaida and the Pakistani Harakat Movement: Reflections and Questions about the pre-2001 Period by Don Rassler Abstract There has been a modest amount of progress made over the last two decades in piecing together the developments that led to creation of al-Qaida and how the group has evolved over the last 30 years. Yet, there are still many dimensions of al-Qaida that remain understudied, and likely as a result, poorly understood. One major gap are the dynamics and relationships that have underpinned al-Qaida’s multi-decade presence in Pakistan. The lack of developed and foundational work done on the al-Qaida-Pakistan linkage is quite surprising given how long al- Qaida has been active in the country, the mix of geographic areas - from Pakistan’s tribal areas to its main cities - in which it has operated and found shelter, and the key roles Pakistani al-Qaida operatives have played in the group over the last two decades. To push the ball forward and advance understanding of this critical issue, this article examines what is known, and has been suggested, about al-Qaida’s relations with a cluster of Deobandi militant groups consisting of Harakat ul-Mujahidin, Harakat ul-Jihad Islami, Harakat ul-Ansar, and Jaish-e-Muhammad, which have been collectively described as Pakistan’s Harakat movement, prior to 9/11. It finds that each of these groups and their leaders provided key elements of support to al-Qaida in a number of direct and indirect ways.

Author’s Acknowledgments This report would not have been possible without the generosity and assistance of the director of the Harmony Research Program at the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC), Don Rassler. Mr. Rassler provided me with the support and encouragement to pursue this project, and his enthusiasm for the material always helped to lighten my load. I should state here that the first tentative steps on this line of inquiry were made during my time as a student at the Program in Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. If not for professor Şükrü Hanioğlu’s open‐minded approach to directing my MA thesis, it is unlikely that I would have embarked on this investigation of Yunus Khalis. Professor Michael Reynolds also deserves great credit for his patience with this project as a member of my thesis committee. I must also extend my utmost appreciation to my reviewers—Carr Center Fellow Michael Semple, professor David Edwards and Vahid Brown—whose insightful comments, I believe, have led to a substantially improved and more thoughtful product.

  • Protection Cluster Mission to Kurram 22- 26 April 2014
    Protection cluster mission to Kurram 22- 26 April 2014 Marokhel village I. Background Kurram Tribal Agency is one of the most scenic and picturesque valley of Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) of Pakistan, having the geographic distinction of sharing a border with Afghanistan on three sides. The Agency is bounded on the north and west by Afghanistan (the provinces of Ningarhar and Paktia respectively), on the east by Orakzai and Khyber Agencies, on the southeast by District Hangu and on the south by North Waziristan Agency. The agency is 115 kilometres long with a total area of 3,380 square kilometres. Kurram Agency takes its name from the river Kurram, which passes through it. The headquarters of the agency is located at Parachinar. Kurram Agency is the only tribal region in the country’s semi-autonomous seven tribal territories which has a large number of Shiites - the rest of the six tribal agencies are overwhelmingly inhabited by Sunni Muslims. According to official figures, its total population is 500,000, with 58 percent Sunni and 42 percent Shiite. The majority of the Shiites live in the upper part of the Kurram Agency, while Sunnis inhabit lower and central Kurram. The population of Kurram valley consists of a number of tribes, namely Turi, Bangash, Parachamkani, Massozai, Alisherzai, Zaimusht, Mangal, Kharotai, Ghalgi and Hazara. There was also a sizeable Sikh population but most of them have left the valley. Sectarian violence is not a new phenomenon in Kurram Agency where well over 4000 people have been killed in clashes between the Sunni and Shia tribes since the decade of 1980s.
