Synopsis'Unholy Terror' details how the Bosnian conflict and American policy transformed al-Qa'ida into a global threat. The text includes details of how the US secretly supplied Bosnia's mujahidin, including al-Qa'ida, with weapons and supplies, and collaborated with Iran to do so., The first full account of the role the Bosnian conflict--and American policy--played in the transformation of al-Qurs" ida from a local terror into a global threat., Al-Qa' ida: in the 80s they were in Afghanistan, supported by America and fighting the Russians. In the new century they have metastasized throughout the world' s geopolitical body. Where were they in the 90s? Unholy Terror" provides the answer, with all its terrifying implications for our world today. This book provides the missing piece in the puzzle of al-Qa' ida' s transformation from an isolated fighting force into a lethal global threat: the Bosnian war of 1992 to 1995. John R. Schindler reveals the unexamined role that radical Islam played in that terrible conflict--and the ill-considered contributions of American policy to al-Qa' ida' s growth. His book explores a truth long hidden from view: that, like Afghanistan in the 1980s, Bosnia in the 1990s became a training ground for the mujahidin. Unholy Terror" at last exposes the shocking story of how bin Laden successfully exploited the Bosnian conflict for his own ends--and of how the U. S. Government gave substantial support to his unholy warriors, leading to blowback of epic proportions., The first full account of the role the Bosnian conflict--and American policy--played in the transformation of al-Qu'ida from a local terror into a global threat.
