Terrorism 101: A How-To-Guide (Here it is, all 180 pages of bin Laden's terrorism bible)
The Smoking Gun ^

Posted on 09/13/2002 3:22:11 AM PDT by LibWhacker

In the year since the September 11 attacks, few more chilling documents have emerged than "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants," a how-to terrorism manual that investigators believe has been used by followers of Osama bin Laden.

The 180-page volume, seized from the Manchester, England home of a bin Laden disciple, offers jihad members guidance on subjects such as assassination, forging documents, and preparing poisons in its 18 chapters. The terrorism manual was placed into evidence last year by prosecutors during the federal trial of four men accused of involvement in the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (the below English translation was also placed in evidence). All four defendants were convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

While TSG has previously published small excerpts from this terror bible, we now present the entire document, a remarkable window into bin Laden's network of cold-blooded fanatics.

In the Introduction, they refer to Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato.

Here is a hint: they are Greek, not Arab—and the Greeks gave us reason, rational thought, and the scientific method.

You guys give is chapters on how to place an iron stick under someone’s naval and how to gouge their eyes out.

“All those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.”
Matthew 26:52

Looks pretty stupid actually, kinda like an Arabic version of the Anarchist's Cookbook (which will get you killed following some of their recipes)

Not to mention that peanut skins won't get you high -- ahh, but that was a past life.
