[edit] INSIDE AL QAE'DA
'Inside Al Qae'da' examines the leadership, ideology, organization, strategies and tactics of one of the most ruthless and violent politico-religious organizations the world has ever seen, an unwanted by-product of the anti-Soviet multinational Afghan jihad.
In the era of terrorism, no foe as deadly as Al Qae'da - a multi-dimensional, multi-national group of great expertise and resourcefulness - has emerged to threaten and indeed harm the international community with such impunity. With a membership drawn from three-dozen Middle Eastern, Asian and other nationalities, and with cells established in some sixty countries. Al Qae'da has developed an unprecedented global reach, threatening national, regional and international security. Inside Al Qae'da examines the leadership, ideology, organisation, strategies and tactics of one of the most ruthless and violent politico-religious organisations the world has ever seen, an unanticipated by-product of the anti-Soviet multinational Afghan Jihad. Gunaratna identifies three key phases in Al Qae'da's emergence: in Pakistan (1988-1992), in Sudan (1992-1996) and last, and most infamously, in Afghanistan (1996-to date). Al Qae'da finances and trains Islamist terrorists for operations with a global reach, but its seasoned guerrillas also fight terrorist and conventional military campaigns in Asia, Africa, the Caucasus and the Balkans. The author also discusses Al Qae'da's clandestine support and operational network in the West, focussing on how 'sleeper' groups have infiltrated Britain, the US and most European countries. The book is based on extensive interviews with Al Qae'da members; field research in conflicts where Al Qae'da is active; and monitoring of Al Qae'da's infiltration of diaspora and migrant communities.
