The
Al-Qaeda
Manual
The
excerpt
is
from
the
manual
located
by
the
Manchester
(
England)
Metropolitan
Police
during
a
search
of
an
Al
Qaeda
member's
home.
The
manual
was
found
in
a
computer
file
described
as
"
the
military
series"
related
to
the
"Declaration
of
Jihad."
The
manual
was
translated
into
English
and
was
introduced
at
the
embassy
bombing
trial
in
New
York.
Missions
Required
of
the
Military
Organization:
"Jihad."
The
main
mission
for
which
the
Military
Organization
is
responsible
is:
The
overthrow
of
the
godless
regimes
and
their
replacement
with
an
Islamic
regime.
Other
missions
consist
of
the
following:
1.
Gathering
information
about
the
enemy,
the
land,
the
installations,
and
the
neighbors.
2
Kidnaping
enemy
personnel,
documents,
secrets,
and
arms.
3.
Assassinating
enemy
personnel
as
well
as
foreign
tourists.
4.
Freeing
the
brothers
who
are
captured
by
the
enemy.
5.
Spreading
rumors
and
writing
statements
that
instigate
people
against
the
enemy.
6.
Blasting
and
destroying
the
places
of
amusement,
immorality,
and
sin;
not
a
vital
target.
7.
Blasting
and
destroying
the
embassies
and
attacking
vital
economic
centers.
8.
Blasting
and
destroying
bridges
leading
into
and
out
of
cities.
How
long
could
the
fight
against
terrorism
last?
Let's
create
a
fictitious
example:
An
individual
of
strong
religious
beliefs
unlike
that
of
the
founding
fathers
of
this
nation
becomes
sympathetic
to
the
cause
of
his
brethren
in
faith.
As
he/she
becomes
indoctrinated,
and
more
pronounced
in
the
faith,
and
initiated
in
the
faith
of
revolution
against
an
infidel
nation,
this
person
becomes
an
agent
and
deliverer
of
death,
and
destruction
with
the
promise
of
being
delivered
into
paradise
as
promised
by
Mohammed.
While
this
person
of
promise
was
in
the
womb,
he
made
the
trip
across
the
Canadian
or
Mexican
border
with
out
fear
of
prejudice,
and
containment.
This
person
was
born
soon
after
the
mother,
father
crossed
the
border
into
the
United
States.
Though
the
parents
were
not
legal
citizens,
the
sibling
was;
it
was/is
his
birthright.
Here
in
lies
the
real
problem,
and
one
reason
why
some
experts
believe
that
the
fight
against
terrorism
will
last
at
least
25-30
years.
As
these
citizens
grow
up
and
are
allowed
to
travel
freely
back
and
forth,
the
country's
security
threat
may
be
increased.
By
allowing
the
freedom
of
nationalizing
the
sibling
of
illegal
parentage,
the
loss
of
freedom
of
those
American's
legally
naturalized,
and
free
born
in
the
United
States
is
jeopardized
as
a
result
of
restrictions
of
freedom
of
movement.
From
this
legal
sibling
of
illegal
parentage
also
comes
the
real
threat
of
either
a
nuclear
or
biological
disturbance
being
delivered
with
this
person's
belief
that
he
will
be
delivered
into
paradise
for
the
cause
of
Jihad.
