of USAMA BIN LADEN'S UBL! guesthouses, where the Mujahidin that
came to fight in Afghanistan were required to register. These
registration records later provided with extensive contacts to
Islamist fighters around the world., ALQAEDA includes, in V,
addition to the warriors present at USAMA BIN LADEN'S camps, a
loose network of terrorist cells throughout the world. -The most
outstanding features of AL-QAEDA.are its international outreach
and vast financial resources, derived mainly from USAMA BIN
'LADEN'S personal wealth and financial dealings. I g
.. K V
. _ U! USAMA BIN LADEN was raised in Saudi Arabia in a
wealthy, high profile, family of Yemeni origins. The beginning
of his radicalization dates back to his university studies in
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he was linked to members of the .
-Muslim Brotherhood. Later, his involvement in the Afghan
struggle against the Soviet occupation played a major role in
-shaping his ideology. During this experience, he found a sense
of purpose and became deeply religious. ,USAMA BIN LADEN also
made contacts with Islamic fighters from around the world and "
participated ina victorious struggle against a secular i
superpower. The combination of USAMA BIN LADENKS wealth,
connection to, and command over experienced, motivated, and ..
radical Islamic militants, and his fervent anti-U;S. orientation
make him a serious threat to U.S. national security. ' . . A
U! ALQAEDA operates approximately 12 training camps
in Afghanistan, in which it has reportedly trained as many as
5,000*militants.l These militants have allegedly created cells in
50 countries; Some of these trainees may be "sleeper" agents, .
who live undetected among local populations. ; » »x
V " U! ALQAEDA members are familiar with modern <
communications and have been reported to use encrypted email, .
cellular phones, satellite communications, and training manuals_
»on CD-ROMs. -The group emphasizes the symbolic value of targets"-
when making its selection, e.g_, U.S. embassies, World Trade
Center, military barracks, USS Cole, etc. g . _ I
U! The U.S. State Department currently links ALQAEDA
to many recent terrorist attacks, among them the World Trade ~
Center bombing February 1993!; the attacks in Riyadh November
1995! and Dhahran June 1996!, Saudi Arabia; the assassination ~
attempt on Egyptian President Mubarak in Ethiopia June 1995!;,
the near-simultaneous bombings of the U.S. embassies in-Nairobi,
Kenya, and Darees-Salaam, Tanzania August 1998!; and the bombing
of the USS Cole in Yemen November 2000!. g , pg e

" * §Ul §<;»FBl interviews conducted at_SAwYER AVIATIO, CRM
» AIR TRA N ' V, and other Phoenix area flightschoolsi HANI HANJOUR and the other-
individuals discussed above, disclosed that they were not good
pilot students. Several individuals interviewed indicat thatthey knew something -was wrong with the manner in which |
L HANJOUR and others conducted extensive flight simulator training.
In hindsight these instructors wish they had called the FBI to
ereport their suspicions. FBI Phoenix believes that the purpose
,.for these individuals extensive use of the flight simulator was
to gain the necessary knowledge to manually control an aircraft
in flight. This would be-necessary for the terrorists,_after they is
seized control of the aircraft;_to fly the aircraft into the "
intended tarqets. ' ' >
