Pakistan is host to the largest concentration of jihadist groups in
the world. Since the 1980s, the Pakistani state has been accused of
sponsoring local jihadist groups and sending Pakistani volunteers
to support them. This book is based on almost 114 interviews,
conducted mainly in Urdu and Pashto, from within Al-Qaeda and
affiliated jihadist groups. It examines the relationship between
the Pakistani security agencies and Al-Qaeda, and how they both
became entangled and used by the local jihadists they were
themselves trying to exploit. The interviews paint a picture of the
shifting strategies and priorities of the different jihadi groups
in the early 21st century, covering their ideological objectives,
their agreements and disagreements over tactics, as well as
pressure from rival militant groups and internal factionalism. The
book is the most in-depth study of jihadism in Pakistan, and
Antonio Giustozzi highlights the strategies global jihadists
deployed after 9/11 and how Al-Qaeda tried to manage the largest
jihadist group in Pakistan, the Tehrik Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The
book also covers other key issues in South Asian security, such as
the impact of Islamic State on Al Qaeda's power after 2014, why
Al-Qaeda continue to back the TTP, and what is happening with the
groups focused on taking jihad to Kashmir and India.
