Description

During the early 1990s, al-Qa’ida was beginning to coalesce as an org., honing its operational techniques and dealing with its first internal conflicts. Its private deliberations during this period are revealed by a trove of documents captured in the course of operations and maintained in a DoD Database. This report, by the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) at West Point, draws on recently declassified documents, predominately from the 1992-1994 time period, original field work by CTC personnel, and careful country studies to enrich our understanding of the terrorist group’s early successes and failures in the Horn of Africa. The Horn provides the backdrop for an intriguing tale of al-Qa’ida’s first efforts to expand beyond Afghanistan and Sudan. Illus.
