Although founded in 1988, Al Qaeda merged with and still
works with several other extremist groups. Hence Al Qaeda
rank and file draw on nearly three decades of terrorist
expertise. Moreover, it inherited a full-fledged training
and operational infrastructure funded by the United States,
European, Saudi Arabian and other governments for use in the
anti-Soviet Jihad. This book sheds light on Al Qaeda's financial infrastructure
and how they train combat soldiers and vanguard fighters for
multiple guerrilla, terrorist and semi-conventional
campaigns in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, the Caucuses,
and the Balkans. In addition, the author covers the
clandestine Al Qaeda operational network in the West.
