Secret Camps Offer Operational Courses in Jihad Tactics
The Jamestown Foundation / Global Terrorism Analysis
Volume 3, Issue 12 (March 28, 2006)
By Stephen Ulph (condensed by zFacts)
A recent posting on the Abu al-Bokhary jihadi forum (www-abualbokhary-net) provides useful insights into the current conditions and the priorities in the training of mujahideen.
"A Basic Course for Beginners in Secret Mujahideen Camps"
"five day course for first beginners in jihadist activity."
The five-day course is derived from practical experience in a fast-tightening environment, in which "time is against the brothers, and in which there is the necessity to train by any means available." But, each day contains time slots both for physical training and spiritual exercises and readings from the Quran.
Day 1: Construct the camp and establish the group dynamics of the 14-member team, apportioning roles and appointing the amir (commander). The 100-by-32 foot camp contains a mosque, sleeping rooms, latrine and kitchen. Time is to be set aside for instilling the importance of discipline, "the fear of God and obedience to the amir" and of banishing levity.
Day 2: Military training begins in earnest and includes the following sections:
--Hand weapons: assembly and disassembly of revolvers and Kalashnikovs;
--Training in Islamic law and appropriate Islamic conduct;
--Lessons in night patrols and the use of security measures, such as passwords.
Day 3: Lessons that last from 30 minutes up to one hour and include:
--The concealment of light weapons in clothing
--How to conceal a Kalashnikov in the clothing of two persons.
--Practice in throwing the kalashnikov parts from one to another while moving;
--Assassination techniques: throttling, knife assault, fatal blows to the body;
--Setting up cells, maneuvering and communications between them;
--Bodyguard duties and the defense of the commander;
--Maneuvering while armed or firing the weapon;
--Map reading, route analysis, and determining the enemy's armor;
--Rapid trench digging, dugouts behind enemy lines, camouflage;
--Intelligence gathering, the study of targets, and access and escape.
Day 4: Live-fire exercises. Emphasis on silencers for training exercises, collecting and burying spent cartridges and the restoration of the area to its pristine state after use. Courses then follow on discreet food preparation, and storage of food for up to two weeks.
Day 5: Performance assessment by the commander and elaborate measures to disguise the camp's existence. Lessons on the life and military campaigns of the Prophet Muhammad, on the nature of God and the Afterlife and the punishments of Hell and "instilling of fear in others of Hell and of God's punishments."
Some of these camps, the author explains, "have lasted less than two days, made up of 48- or 72-hour courses." It is interesting to note that even under such perilous conditions, elements relating to doctrine are still retained.
