"Jihadis Adapt to Counter-Terror Measures and Create New Intelligence Manuals"
By Abdul Hameed Bakier



ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Islamist websites are filled with security manuals and training information for jihadi militants. These manuals are often posted on forums sympathetic to violent Islamists, and the visitors to the forums are able to ask questions to different jihadi security experts regarding fighting tactics and intelligence strategies. In intelligence training and sharing practices, the jihadi sites have posted three significant documents: the Great Jihad Encyclopedia, a letter from al-Qaeda operative Abu Yahia al-Libi and a document titled "How to Confront and Cope with Intelligence Agency Interrogators."

The Great Jihad Encyclopedia

It is not clear when the Great Jihad Encyclopedia was prepared, but it was originally released in 2002. The encyclopedia is a manual on security and intelligence techniques collected from different sources and from experienced jihadi militants. The encyclopedia is broken up into different sections spanning 70 pages, and the sections suggest that the document was prepared from the archives of the renowned services office Maktab al-Khidamat in Pakistan (the Afghan Services Bureau). Maktab al-Khidamat was, essentially, a guesthouse rented by Osama bin Laden in 1984 in Peshawar to receive and organize Arab mujahideen volunteering in the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan [1]. The Great Jihad Encyclopedia was written by "Abu al-Qaidan."

"Man Claimed Wife Planned to Blow Up Plane, Police Say"
nbc6.net

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A South Florida man faces charges after authorities said he falsely told Air France employees his wife planned to blow up a plane.

Air France flight 95 was supposed to leave on Saturday afternoon from Miami International Airport. But a few minutes before it was scheduled to take off, a man went to the Air France ticket counter and said that his wife, who was onboard, planned to blow up the plane, NBC 6's Martha Sugalski reported.

All 400 passengers onboard were evacuated. Investigators found the woman, who was traveling to Lebanon, and questioned both her and her husband.

FBI agents said that during the interview, they determined that the woman never made any type of threat and instead arrested her husband, Jean-Marc Bollinger.

Investigators said the woman wanted a divorce and wanted to go to Lebanon with the couple's daughter, but that Bollinger refused. His wife alleged that he abused her."
