"A must read for all who continue to grapple with the twin legacy
of hatred and hope from September 11. . . "*
International terrorism expert Roland Jacquard's "In the Name of
Osama bin Laden" presents a dramatic portrait of the world's most
wanted terrorist and his extensive brotherhood--the network of
people who operate "in his name." Published originally in France
the very week of September 11, as events in the United States shook
the world, the book has become an international bestseller.
Jacquard details how bin Laden became an international emblem of
fundamentalist, pan-Islamic, anti-U.S. fervor and the leader of a
brotherhood so passionate that devotees who have never met him will
act autonomously in his name. The author explains the global
character of bin Laden's organization, elaborating the extent of
his sphere of influence in Europe and Asia. Jacquard reveals the
construction of bin Laden's networks--including a profile of his
inner circle--and their collaboration with overlapping webs of
banking, drug trafficking, religious, and terrorist organizations.
He considers the brotherhood's access to biological, chemical, and
nuclear weapons and warns that, with or without bin Laden, this
global terrorist force will remain a threat.
Now in English, this edition has been substantially updated in
light of recent world events and expanded to include previously
unpublished materials, featuring a new introduction and afterword.
New documents include an April 2001 interview by the author with
bin Laden; a September 24 proclamation by bin Laden to Muslims in
Pakistan; and a key page from Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri's book
justifying eternal jihad, which was smuggled out of Afghanistan in
October 2001.
