Other security experts also noted al Qaida training exercises involved urban hit- and-run ambushes using pickup trucks and motorcycles. One taped sequence shows a two-man team on a motorcycle attacking a moving motorcade with explosives while another team opens fire from the back of an open van. Other secret al Qaida training consisted of a mock raid on a U.S. embassy in which the American flag is actually burned. The captured documents also included a codebook apparently used by bin Laden to give instructions to his international network by quoting select phrases from the Koran. For example, "Allah-u-Akbar" -- "God is great" -- uttered at a certain point on a televised videotape, could mean "lie low."

Sounds familiar.
