A 2004 al-Qaeda Strategy Manual can now be downloaded at West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center website here.

The translation of this manual by al-Qaeda strategist, Abu Bakr Naji, was completed in May by the Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University.

As responsible American citizens who value freedom, I urge you to carefully review this document. The more we know about the enemy we are facing, the better we will be able fight its attempts to destroy Western civilization. We are facing one of the greatest threats to American security since the Cold War. We must arm ourselves with information.
