CT Calendar

The US National Counterterrorism Center is pleased to present the
2016 edition of the Counterterrorism (CT) Calendar. Since 2003, we

have published the calendar in a daily planner format that provides our
consumers with a variety of information related to international terrorism,
including wanted terrorists; terrorist group fact sheets; technical issue
related to terrorist tactics, techniques, and procedures; and potential
dates of importance that terrorists might consider when planning attacks.
The cover of this years CT Calendar highlights terrorists growing use
of social media and other emerging online technologies to recruit,
radicalize, and encourage adherents to carry out attacks.
This year will be the last hardcopy publication of the calendar, as
growing production costs necessitate our transition to more costeffective dissemination methods. In the coming years, NCTC will use
a variety of online and other media platforms to continue to share the
valuable information found in the CT Calendar with a broad customer set,
including our Federal, State, Local, and Tribal law enforcement partners;
agencies across the Intelligence Community; private sector partners; and
the US public.
On behalf of NCTC, I want to thank all the consumers of the CT Calendar
during the past 12 years. We hope you continue to find the CT Calendar
beneficial to your daily efforts.
Sincerely,

Nicholas J. Rasmussen
Director
The US National Counterterrorism Center is pleased to present the 2016

edition of the Counterterrorism (CT) Calendar. This edition, like others
since the Calendar was first published in daily planner format in 2003,
contains many features across the full range of issues pertaining to
international terrorism: terrorist groups, wanted terrorists, and technical
pages on various threat-related topics. The Calendar also marks dates that
terrorists may believe are important if planning attacks to commemorate
particular events.
Individuals portrayed in this calendar are all listed on the US
Governments Rewards for Justice site or on FBI sites devoted to
terrorism. These individuals have all been either indicted or are being
sought for their involvement in international terrorism.
The CT Calendar is designed as a ready reference guide for
law-enforcement, intelligence, military and security personnel,
contingency planners, or citizens concerned about terrorist threats. The
CT Calendar is oriented primarily to readers in the United States, but we
hope it will be useful for citizens of other countries as well. We invite you
to visit the interactive version of the calendar at http://www.nctc.gov.
In the conduct of intelligence activities, the Intelligence Community (IC) recognizes that
it must protect fully the legal rights of all US persons, including freedoms, civil liberties,
and privacy rights guaranteed by Federal law. The IC is not authorized to collect, retain,
or disseminate information about US persons solely based on Constitutionally protected
activities such as First Amendment speech, and may not do so based solely on race, religion,
or other protected classification. All individuals in this calendar are included only because
of information linking them to international terrorism. Individuals identified as charged or
indicted with criminal wrongdoing are entitled to a presumption of innocence in the US court
system, unless and until such time as they are deemed guilty through the judicial process.
Islamic Calendar
The Islamic calendar is based on the movement
and observation of the moon. The Islamic
year contains 12 months, none of which can
exceed 30 days. Each month starts when the
lunar crescent is first seen after a new moon.
Because 12 lunar months multiplied by 29.53
days equals 354.36 days, the Islamic calendar
will always be approximately 11 days shorter
than the Western (Gregorian) calendar. For
example, 1 Muharram, the first day of Islamic
year 1437 (known in the West by the Latin term
Anno Hegirae, or A.H.), fell on 14 October 2015;
in A.H. 1438, 1 Muharram falls on 2October
2016. Because of lunar observation and
differences in time zones, the observance of
Islamic holidays and calendar dates may vary
from region to region.
Islamic dates and holidays are approximate,
as they are determined by local lunar
observation. Islamic and Jewish holidays begin
the evening preceding the date shown unless
stated otherwise.
Spelling of Arabic Names and Terms

While there is no universally accepted
transliteration of Arabic names and terms, this
edition of the Counterterrorism Calendar adheres
to a transliteration system that is generally used
throughout the US Government. In this system,
the letters u and a are preferred over o
and e. For example, the name of the al-Qaida
operative who was detained on 1 March 2003 is
KhalidShaykh Muhammad, not Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed; he was an associate of Usama Bin
Ladin, not Osama Bin Laden. We have retained,
however, the spellings used on the Rewards for
Justice and FBI terrorism sites; spellings there
are designed for easy recognition or are used
in legal documents and therefore do not always
conform to these rules.
Map Boundaries
Boundary representation is not
necessarily authoritative.
Date and Sources of Information
The information in this calendar is valid as
of 29 August 2015. This publication contains
only information in the public domain that
has been verified and disseminated by US
Government sources.
Rewards for Justice Program

The Rewards for Justice (RFJ) Program is one of
the most valuable US Government assets in the
fight against international terrorism. Established
by the 1984 Act to Combat International
Terrorism, Public Law 98-533, Rewards for
Justice has developed into a global interagency
effort led by the Department of States Bureau
of Diplomatic Security.
Under this program, the Secretary of State may
offer rewards for information that prevents
or favorably resolves acts of international
terrorism against US persons or property
worldwide. The Secretary may also offer
rewards for information leading to the
disruption of financial mechanisms of a foreign
terrorist organization. Rewards of up to $25
million have been authorized for information
leading to the capture of key al-Qaida leaders.
The Rewards for Justice Program is very
effective. Since the programs inception, the
United States has paid over $125 million to more
than 80 people who provided information that
prevented and/or led to the favorable resolution
of acts of international terrorism.
Although RFJ provides strict confidentiality to
all its sources, in certain instances RFJ has been
able to publicize some of its success stories.
For example, RFJ paid a $2 million reward for
information that led US and Pakistani authorities
to the location of Ramzi Yousef, an international
terrorist who was convicted in the 1993
bombing of the World Trade Center.
Uday and Qusay Husayn, the sons of former

Iraqi dictator Saddam Husayn. This campaign
produced the fastest result in RFJ historya
turnaround of just 18 days. In that case, RFJ paid
a reward of $30 million for information leading
to the Husayn brothers location.
In June 2007, RFJ paid $10 million to Filipino
citizens who provided information on the
locations of Khadafi Janjalani and Abu
Solaiman, Abu Sayyaf Group leaders. These
men were involved in the kidnappings of Martin
and Gracia Burnham, the murder of Guillermo
Sobero, and attacks against the US Embassy
in Manila.
RFJ is always interested in receiving proposals
to add key terrorist leaders to its Most Wanted
List and Web sitewww.rewardsforjustice.net .
Additionally, RFJ welcomes reward payment
nominations from any US federal, state, or
local government agency on behalf of persons
who have already provided information that
has prevented or favorably resolved an act of
international terrorism against US persons
or property.
If you want to propose adding a key terrorist
leader to the RFJ Most Wanted List and Web
site or to nominate a source for a reward, please
contact the RFJ Program.
Ten years later, on 3 July 2003, RFJ initiated

an advertising campaign that was responsible
for information that led US Armed Forces to

Foreign Terrorist Organizations

Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the
Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as
amended. FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective
means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism
business. The listed groups appear in chronological order of designation.

Terrorist Designations: What They Are and What They Do

What They Are
Designations play a critical role in the US Governments fight against terrorism, and are an
effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the
terrorism business.
There are two main authorities that the United
States uses to designate terrorist groups and
individuals.
1. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA):
Under this authority, the Department of
State designates groups as Foreign Terrorist
Organizations (FTOs). In order to be designated
as an FTO under the INA, the group must be a
foreign-based organization, engage in terrorist
activity, or retain the capacity to engage in
terrorist activity; and the terrorist activity of
the organization must threaten the security
of US nationals or the national defense,
foreign relations, or economic interests of the
United States.
2. Executive Order (E.O.) 13224: Under this

authority, a wider range of entitiesincluding
terrorist groups, individuals acting as part
of a terrorist organization, and other entities
such as financiers and front companiescan
be designated as Specially Designated Global
Terrorists (SDGTs) by both the Departments of
State and the Department of the Treasury. Under
E.O. 13224, the State Department designates
individuals or entities that have committed,
or pose a significant risk of committing, acts
of terrorism that threaten the security of US
nationals or the national security, foreign
policy, or economy of the United States. The
Department of the Treasury has derivative
authority to carry out additional designations
of those providing support to an already
designated individual or entity.
What They Do
Beyond asset freezes and travel restrictions listed below, designations are an important tool for
US foreign policy. Designations support US Government efforts to curb terrorist finance, deter
donations and contributions, block economic transactions, and implement international obligations
under UN Security Council Resolution 1373. Terrorist designations also serve to stigmatize and
isolate the organizations, heighten public awareness, and signal concerns to international partners
about named organizations, individuals, and entities.
Designation Consequences
FTO Authority
All funds under the control of a US
institution are frozen, aliens are
inadmissible to, and may be deportable
from, the United States;
Becomes illegal for persons subject to
the jurisdiction of the United States to
knowingly provide material support to
the organization;
Any violators are subject to civil and
criminal penalties of up to 15 years
imprisonment and fines;
Provides the Department of Justice an
important prosecutorial tool.
E.O. 13224 Authority

Property and transactions under US
jurisdiction are frozen;
Becomes illegal to engage in
transactions with designated
individuals or entities;
Criminal penalties of up to 10 years
imprisonment and fines;
Provides the Department of the
Treasury the ability to make derivative
designations of individuals and entities
providing support to a designated
individual or entity.
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)

While gaining strength in Iraq, ISIL also
expanded its presence in Syria and established
al-Nusrah Front as a cover for its activities
there. Disputes over the groups strategic
direction in Syria led to conflict and ultimately
ISILs disavowal by al-Qaida in February 2014,
setting the stage for ISILs subsequent challenge
to al-Qaida for leadership of the global
extremist movement.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
The Islamic State

of Iraq and the
Levant is a terrorist
organization that has
exploited the conflict
in Syria and sectarian
tensions in Iraq to
entrench itself in both countries. ISILs stated
goal is to solidify and expand its control of
territory once ruled by early Muslim caliphs and
to govern through implementation of its strict
interpretation of sharia. The groups strength
and expansionary agenda pose an increasing
threat to US regional allies and US facilities
and personnel in the Middle East as well as in
the West.
ISILformerly known as al-Qaida in Iraq and
later the Islamic State of Iraqwas established
in April 2004 by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who
pledged his groups allegiance to Usama Bin
Ladin. The group targeted Coalition and Iraqi
forces and civilians to pressure foreigners to
leave Iraq, reduce Iraqi popular support for the
US and Iraqi Government, and attract recruits.
The group suffered a series of setbacks starting
in 2007resulting from the combination of
Sunni civilian resistance and a surge in Coalition
and Iraqi Government operations against the
groupbefore rebounding in late 2011 after
Coalition forces withdrew, amid growing
Sunni discontent with the Shia-dominated
Iraqi Government.
In June 2014, ISIL unilaterally declared the

establishment of an Islamic caliphate and
called on all Muslims to pledge allegiance to
the group. Since then, ISIL has announced
the establishment of eight provinces outside
of Iraq and Syria, including in Afghanistan
and Pakistan, Algeria, the Caucasus, Egypt,
Libya, Saudi Arabia, West Africa, and Yemen.
It has also continued to attract a large number
of foreigners to Iraq and Syriaincluding
thousands of Westernersto take part in the
groups campaign of violence and help the
caliphate grow.
ISILs vast territorial safe haven in Iraq and
Syria, access to Western foreign fighters, and
substantial financial resources pose a persistent
and growing threat to the United States. Since
September 2014, ISILs leadership has issued
multiple public calls for attacks against US
and Western interests around the world, and
the group has made similar calls for attacks
in its English-language magazine, Dabiq. ISIL
members and sympathizers have responded
by planning or conducting attacks at an
unprecedented paceat least 37 plots between
February 2014 and July 2015.
ISIL is also known as DAESH or DAISH, an
acronym for its name in Arabic. It is currently
led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, also known as Abu
Dua. The group was designated as a Foreign
Terrorist Organization on 17 December 2004.
http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/crt/2014/239407.htm
ISILs Proclaimed Caliphate Compared to Historical Islamic States

ISILs declaration of a caliphate on 28 June 2014 is an attempt to reestablish an Islamic institution
that asserted authority over Sunni Muslims for the majority of their history until abolished in 1924.
The major Sunni caliphates evolved from a state ruled by the immediate successors to the Prophet
into a world empire under dynasties founded by his family members, then declined in significance
for approximately one thousand years before its revival as aspirational ideal for Muslims in the 20th
century. Other caliphates ruled over lesser territory, including a branch of the Umayyads that ruled
in Spain until 1031, the 19th century Sokoto caliphate in present-day Nigeria, and the Shia Fatimid
dynastywhich founded Cairo as its capital in 969. Between June 2014 and September 2015, ISIL
has declared eight provinces outside Iraq and Syria.
The Ottomans assumed the authority of the caliphs after conquering Cairo in 1517 and deposing
the nominal Abbasid caliph there, but they usually used the title of sultan instead of caliph. After
WWI, the new secular Turkish Republic proposedand then rescindedan offer to recognize the
sultan as a caliph with symbolic religious authority and no political power.
ISILs Use of Social Media

ISIL and its followers have been more prolific in
their use of social media than any other terrorist
group. Their adept adoption of a wide variety
of platforms allows the group to maximize the
spread of its propaganda, share guidance on
how to support the group, and connect with
potential recruits.
ISIL relies on the Internet to send their official
propaganda outside of Iraq and Syria and
has shown a particular affinity for Twitter
to advertise their media products, probably
because the platform allows the group to
reach a very broad audience. ISIL supporters
also regularly use other platforms such as
Ask.fm and Facebook, to share information
related to the Islamic State including specific
guidance on how to travel to Syria and avoid
Western authorities.
ISIL supporters also exploit the privacy of
Twitters direct messaging capability to discuss
topics they deem too sensitive to display on
their public accounts, such as travel facilitation
into Syria or Iraq.
The group not only adopts these social media
platforms, but fully exploits their features and
functions to ensure widespread distribution
of its message. ISIL supporters on Twitter, for
example, have used various tactics to expose its
messagingsuch as hijacking popular hashtags
associated with pop culture figures or current
events and using commercial applications
to automate its tweetsto make the group a
trending topic.
In addition to Twitter, ISIL and its supporters

have used other social media sites such as
YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr, and Ask.fm, to
attempt to spread its content and recruit others
to join its ranks. For example, ISIL foreign
fighters use the microblogging service Tumblr
to share photos, stories, and advice about
traveling to Syria and Iraq, and also uses the
sites anonymous ask me anything feature to
interact directly with aspiring extremists.
ISIL supporters use their public social media
accounts to document and glamorize their
travel to Syria and combat experiences. Many
of these fighters have provided encouragement
and logistic advice for their followers online.
Their outreach on Twitter, Facebook, and other
platforms helps establish bona fides among
aspiring fighters in an effort to attract other
Westerners to the conflict.
As ISIL supporters congregate online, the
group is presented with opportunities to recruit
new members who are seeking friendships
or a lifestyle change. In the early part of 2015,
numerous ISIL statements from senior ISIL
leaders have called for lone-offender attacks
against the West, and recent attacks and arrests
have highlighted how some in the United States
are buying into ISILs distorted messaging.
Moving forward into 2016, ISIL will continue to
demonstrate innovation in integrating social
media in almost every aspect of its operations.
The monitoring of violent extremist messaging is conducted only by agencies whose

authorities allow such activity, and only when there is a connection to a type of terrorism
that falls within the scope of that agencys mission. The agencies responsible for this activity
are bound by charter and law to observe and protect the civil liberties and privacy of US
citizens and persons.

Al-Qaida
In 2005, Ayman al-Zawahiri, then Bin Ladins
deputy, publicly claimed al-Qaidas involvement
in the 7 July 2005 bus bombings in the United
Kingdom. In 2006, British security services
foiled an al-Qaida plot to detonate explosives
on up to 10 transatlantic flights originating
from Londons Heathrow airport. During that
time, the numbers of al-Qaida-affiliated groups
increased. Following Bin Ladins death in
2011, al-Qaida leaders moved quickly to name
al-Zawahiri as his successor.
Ayman al-Zawahiri
Usama BinLadin formed al-Qaida in 1988

with Arabs who fought in Afghanistan against
the Soviet Union, and declared its goal as
the establishment of a pan-Islamic caliphate
throughout the Muslim world. Toward this end,
al-Qaida seeks to unite Muslims to fight the
West, especially the United States, as a means
of overthrowing Muslim regimes al-Qaida
deems apostate, expelling Western influence
from Muslim countries, and defeating Israel.
Al-Qaida issued a statement in February 1998
under the banner of the World Islamic Front
for Jihad Against the Jews and Crusaders
saying it was the duty of all Muslims to kill
US citizenscivilian and militaryand their
allies everywhere. The group merged with the
Egyptian Islamic Jihad (al-Jihad) in June 2001.
On 11 September 2001, 19 al-Qaida suicide
attackers hijacked and crashed four US
commercial jetstwo into the World Trade
Center in New York City, one into the Pentagon
near Washington, D.C., and a fourth into a field
in Shanksville, Pennsylvanialeaving nearly
3,000 people dead. Al-Qaida also directed the
12 October 2000 attack on the USS Cole in the
port of Aden, Yemen, which killed 17 US sailors
and injured another 39, and conducted the
bombings in August 1998 of the US embassies
in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania,
killing 224 people and injuring more than 5,000.
Since 2002, al-Qaida and affiliated groups
have conducted attacks worldwide, including
in Europe, North Africa, South Asia, Southeast
Asia, and the Middle East.
While al-Zawahiri leads a small but influential

cadre of senior leaders widely called al-Qaida
Core, the groups cohesiveness the past three
years has diminished because of leadership
losses from counterterrorism pressure in
Afghanistan and Pakistan and the rise of other
organizations such as the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant (ISIL) that serve as an alternative
for some disaffected extremists. The 2015
deaths of Nasir al-Wahishi and Abu Khalil
al-Sudani, two of al-Qaidas most experienced
top leaders, has hindered the organizations core
functions.
Nonetheless, al-Qaida and its affiliates in South
Asia, Africa, and the Middle East remain a
resilient organization committed to conducting
attacks in the United States and against
American interests abroad. The group has
advanced a number of unsuccessful plots in the
past several years, including against the United
States and Europe. This highlights al-Qaidas
ability to continue some attack preparations
while under sustained counterterrorism
pressure and suggests it may be plotting
additional attacks against the United States at
home or overseas.
Looking ahead to 2016, al-Qaida could seek
to reconstitute its remnants in Afghanistan
and place greater emphasis on smaller attacks
against soft targets. Al-Qaida continues to
aspire to conduct large-scale attacks, however,
and its historical ties to Afghanistan make the
country an attractive operating area, especially
if the group can leverage its longstanding
relationships with Afghan insurgents who
supported it in the years preceding 9/11.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)

operations occurred when AQAP dispatched
Nigerian-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab,
who attempted to detonate an explosive
device aboard a Northwest Airlines flight on
25 December 2009the first attack inside the
United States by an al-Qaida affiliate since
11 September 2001. That was followed by an
attempt to send explosive-laden packages to the
United States on 27 October 2010. In January
2015, two French nationals attacked the Charlie
Hebdo magazines Paris office, an operation
one of the attackers claimed Anwar al-Aulaqi
funded. A week after the attack, AQAP released
a video on Twitter claiming that the group chose
the target and financed the operation. AQAP
has also sought to expand its media presence
by launching the English-language publication,
Inspire magazine, in 2010.
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is a Sunni

extremist group based in Yemen that has
orchestrated numerous high-profile terrorist
attacks. AQAP emerged in January 2009
following the unification of Yemeni and Saudi
terrorist elements, signaling the groups intent
to serve as a hub for regional terrorism in
the Arabian Peninsula. AQAP was preceded
by al-Qaida in Yemen (AQY), comprised of
several al-Qaida veterans who escaped from a
Sanaa prison. AQAPs original leadership was
composed of the groups now-deceased amir
Nasir al-Wahishi; now-deceased deputy amir
Said al-Shahri; and Wahishis successor as amir,
Qasim al-Rimi. Dual US-Yemeni citizen Anwar
al-Aulaqi, who had a worldwide following as a
radical ideologue and propagandist, was the
most prominent member of AQAP; he was killed
in an explosion in September 2011. Throughout
2015, AQAP has sustained rapid and cumulative
losses to its leadership ranks, including
the death of Nasir al-Wahishi. Shortly after
Wahishis death, AQAP released a video naming
the groups long-time operational commander
Qasim al-Rimi as Wahishis successor.
The group has targeted local, US, and Western
interests in the Arabian Peninsula, as well
as abroad. One of the most notable of these
28
AQAP has also undertaken a number of attacks

targeting the Yemeni Government, including
a complex attack in December 2013 against
Yemens Ministry of Defense that killed at
least 52 people; and in February 2014 the
group freed over two dozen prisoners from
Sanaas central prison. Since the Huthi rise
to power in early 2015, AQAP elements have
prioritized combating Huthi expansion and
regularly engage in attacks and skirmishes
with the growing Huthi presence. AQAP
also has formed a stronghold in Mukalla,
Hadramawt Governorate, where it has freed
prisoners, robbed banks, and taken over
government facilities.
AQAP was designated a Foreign Terrorist
Organization on 19 January 2010.

Al-Nusrah Front
During 2013, al-Nusrah Front and ISIL were
consumed by a public rift stemming from
ISIL leader AbuBakr al-Baghdadis April 2013
statement announcing the creation of ISIL and
claiming the merger of both groups. Al-Nusrah
Front and ISIL have strategies for Syria, and a
public merger between them probably would
have undermined al-Nusrah Fronts autonomy
in the country. In April 2013, al-Nusrah Fronts
leader, Abu Muhammad al-Jawlani, pledged
allegiance to al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Al-Nusrah Front
is one of the most
capable al-Qaidaaffiliated groups
operating in Syria
during the ongoing
conflict. The group
in January 2012
announced its intention to overthrow Syrian
President Bashar al-Asads regime, and since
then has mounted hundreds of insurgent-style
and suicide attacks against regime and security
service targets across the country. The group
is committed not only to ousting the regime,
but also seeks to expand its reach regionally
and globally. Initially, al-Nusrah Front did not
publicize its links to al-Qaida in Iraq or Pakistan.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
played a significant role in founding the group.
ISIL predecessor organizations used Syria as a
facilitation hub and transformed this facilitation
and logistics network into an organization
capable of conducting sophisticated explosives
and firearms attacks. ISIL leaders since the
beginning of al-Nusrah Fronts participation in
the conflict provided their facilitation hub with
personnel and resources, including money
and weapons.
During early 2014, the rift between al-Nusrah

Front and ISILin which ISIL has openly
accused al-Qaida senior leaders of deviating
from what it perceives as the correct militant
pathhas taken place not just on the ground
but in social media as well. Al-Nusrah Fronts
leaders probably have learned lessons from
members previous experiences in Iraq and
have sought to win over the Syrian populace by
providing parts of the country with humanitarian
assistance and basic civil services. Several
Syria-based armed opposition groups cooperate
and fight alongside Sunni extremist groups,
including al-Nusrah Front, and are dependent
upon them for expertise, training, and weapons.
Al-Nusrah Front has managed to seize territory,
including military bases and infrastructure in
northern Syria.
The groups cadre is predominately composed
of Syrian nationals many of whom are veterans
of previous conflicts, including the Iraq war.
Thousands of fighters from around the world
have traveled to Syria since early 2012 to
support oppositionist groups, and some fighters
aspire to connect with al-Nusrah Front and
other extremist groups. Several Westerners
have joined al-Nusrah Front, including a few
who have died in suicide operations. Western
government officials have raised concerns that
capable individuals with extremist contacts and
battlefield experience could return to their home
countries to commit violent acts. An al-Nusrah
Front attack in May 2014the first known suicide
bombing by an American in Syriatargeted
regime personnel, highlighting the involvement
of US persons in the conflict.

Al-Qaida in the Lands of the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)

member to death and two others to prison for the
Americans murder.
AQIM since 2010 has failed to conduct the
high-casualty attacks in Algeria that it had in
previous years. Multinational counterterrorism
effortsincluding a joint French-Mauritanian raid
in July 2010 against an AQIM campresulted in
the death of some AQIM members and possibly
disrupted some AQIM activity. In 2011, however,
AQIM killed two French hostages during an
attempted rescue operation, and in 2013 killed
one French hostage in retaliation for Frances
military intervention in Mali. AQIM continues to
hold one South African and one Swedish hostage
who were abducted in 2011, and in June 2015
released an English language video of the two.
Al-Qaida in the Lands of

the Islamic Maghreb is an
Algeria-based Sunni Muslim
extremist group. It originally
formed in 1998 as the Salafist
Group for Preaching and Combat
(GSPC), a faction of the Armed
Abdelmalik
Islamic Group, which was the
Droukdal
largest and most active terrorist
group in Algeria. The GSPC was renamed in
January 2007 after the group officially joined
al-Qaida in September 2006. The group had
close to 30,000 members at its height, but the
Algerian Governments counterterrorism efforts
have reduced GSPCs ranks to fewer than 1,000.
AQIM historically has operated primarily in
the northern coastal areas of Algeria and in
parts of the desert regions of southern Algeria
and the Sahel, but in recent years has focused
on expanding into Libya and Tunisia. AQIM
employs conventional terrorist tactics, including
guerrilla-style ambushes, and mortar, rocket,
and IED attacks. The groups principal sources
of revenue include extortion, kidnapping for
ransom, and donations. In June of 2009, the
group publicly claimed responsibility for killing
US citizen Christopher Leggett in Mauritania
because of his missionary activities. In 2011, a
Mauritanian court sentenced a suspected AQIM
44
In 2012, AQIM took advantage of political chaos

in northern Mali, working with local Tuareg
national elements to take control of major cities,
including Kidal, Gao, and Timbuktu. The Islamic
militant group Ansar al-Din was formed to
support the creation of an Islamic state in Mali
ruled by sharia.
In 2013 AQIM suffered setbacks in northern Mali
following the French-led military intervention in
the region, which caused them to lose control
of the major cities there and resulted in the
deaths of a number of key personnel. As of
2015, however, AQIM was regrouping in parts of
northern Mali and conducted a number of attacks
on UN forces in the region.
Since 2011, dissident groups of AQIM members
broke away to form MUJAO (Movement for Unity
and Jihad in West Africa) and al-Mulathamun
Battalion and its subordinate unit al-Muwaqiun
Bil-Dima (Those Who Sign With Blood) led
by former AQIM battalion leader Mokhtar
Belmokhtar. In August 2013 these groups merged
to form al-Murabitun and officially formalized
the groups ties; their stated goals are to unite
all Muslims from the Nile to the Atlantic in jihad
against Westerners and to curb French influence
in the region. In 2014 and 2015 additional AQIM
members split from the organization to join
groups affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant.

conflicting press reports that Belmokhtar had

In 2015 the group reaffirmed its allegiance to
Ayman al-Zawahiri and restated its intent to
continue to attack France and its allies. In May
2015 a portion of al-Murabituns Mali-based cadre
pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant, although Belmokhtar publicly
rejected the pledge.
Veteran extremist Mokhtar Belmokhtar in August

2013 merged his al-Mulathamun Battalion with

November 2013, possibly preventing the group
from carrying out a high-profile attack in the
region. In March 2015 al-Murabitun conducted
its first attack in Bamako, Mali, with an operation
targeting a nightclub that killed two Westerners
and three Malian nationals, and in May 2015
the group claimed credit for the kidnapping of a
Romanian citizen in Burkina Faso.
Al-Mulathamun Battalion and its subordinate
unit al-Muwaqiun Bil-Dima (Those Who Sign
With Blood), led by Mokhtar Belmokhtar,
splintered from AQIM in fall 2012 due to
leadership disputes. Belmokhtar fought with
the mujahidin in Afghanistan as a teenager and
trained with al-Qaida, where he lost an eye
mishandling explosives. He returned to Algeria
in the mid-1990s and joined the Armed Islamic
Group (GIA). By the late 1990s, Belmokhtar
seized control over lucrative trans-Saharan
smuggling routes, reportedly earning millions
by trafficking cigarettes. Belmokhtar helped set
up the Groupe Salafiste pour la Prdication et le
Combat (GSPC) splinter faction in 1998. GSPC
evolved into AQIM in 2007.
TWJWA, also known as the Movement for Unity
and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), was founded
in late 2011 as an offshoot of AQIM and has
coordinated terrorist attacks across North and
West Africa. Since the French-led intervention
in Mali began in mid-January 2013, TWJWA has
conducted a majority of the attacks targeting
French and African forces in the vicinity of Gao
and Kidal, using suicide bombings, vehicle-borne
improvised explosive devices, and landmines.

Al-Shabaab
goals. Its rank-and-file members come from
disparate clans, and the group is susceptible
to clan politics, internal divisions, and shifting
alliances. Most of its fighters are predominantly
interested in the nationalistic battle against
the FGS and not supportive of global jihad.
Al-Shabaabs senior leaders remain affiliated
with al-Qaida. The merger of the two groups
was publicly announced in February 2012 by
the amir of al-Shabaab and Ayman al-Zawahiri,
leader of al-Qaida. The group, however, has
lost four senior figuresincluding Abdisince
September 2014, which may have hampered its
communications with al-Qaida leadership.
The Harakat Shabaab al-Mujahidincommonly

known as al-Shabaabwas the militant wing of
the Somali Council of Islamic Courts that took
over most of southern Somalia in the second half
of 2006. Despite the groups defeat by Somali
and Ethiopian forces in 2007, al-Shabaaba
clan-based insurgent and terrorist grouphas
continued its violent insurgency in southern
and central Somalia. The group has exerted
temporary and, at times, sustained control over
strategic locations in those areas by recruiting,
sometimes forcibly, regional sub-clans and their
militias, using guerrilla warfare and terrorist
tactics against the Federal Government of
Somalia (FGS), African Union Mission in Somalia
(AMISOM) peacekeepers, and nongovernmental
aid organizations. Since 2011, however, pressure
from AMISOM and Ethiopian forces has largely
degraded al-Shabaabs control, especially in
Mogadishu but also in other key regions of the
country, and conflict among senior leaders has
exacerbated fractures within the group. In 2013
al-Shabaab rivalries culminated in a major purge
of opponents of now-deceased group leader
Ahmed Abdi Aw-Mohamed.
As evidenced by the constant levels of
infighting among leadership, al-Shabaab is
not centralized or monolithic in its agenda or
56
Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for many

bombingsincluding various types of suicide
attacksin Mogadishu and in central and
northern Somalia, typically targeting Somali
government officials, AMISOM, and perceived
allies of the FGS. Since 2013 al-Shabaab has
launched high-profile operations in neighboring
countries, most notably the September 2013
Westgate mall attack in Nairobi, the May 2014
attack against a restaurant in Djibouti popular
with Westerners, and the April 2015 massacre
of university students in Garissa, Kenya.
The Westgate attack killed 67 Kenyan and
non-Kenyan nationals, and a siege continued
at the mall for several days. The Garissa attack
killed some 150 mainly Christian students.
Al-Shabaab is responsible for the assassination
of Somali peace activists, international aid
workers, numerous civil society figures, and
journalists, and for blocking the delivery of aid
from some Western relief agencies during the
2011 famine that killed tens of thousands of
Somalis. In 2008, the US Government designated
al-Shabaab as a Foreign Terrorist Organization
under Section 219 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (as amended) and as a Specially
Designated Global Terrorist entity under Section
1(b) of Executive Order 13224 (as amended). In
2012, the Rewards for Justice program added
several al-Shabaab leaders to its site, offering
large rewards for information leading to
their capture.

Boko Haram
vehicle-borne IED (VBIED), and female suicide
attacks against a wide range of targets. The
group set off its first VBIED in June 2011.
On 26 August 2011, Boko Haram conducted
its first attack against a Western interesta
vehicle-bomb attack on UN headquarters in
Abujakilling at least 23 people and injuring
more than 80. A purported Boko Haram
spokesman claimed responsibility for the
attack and promised future targeting of US and
Nigerian Government interests.
Boko Haram, which refers to itself as Jamaatu

Ahl as-Sunnah li-Daawati wal-Jihad (JASDJ;
Group of the Sunni People for the Calling
and Jihad) and Nigerian Talibanother
translations and variants are usedis a
Nigeria-based group that seeks to overthrow the
current Nigerian Government and replace it with
a regime based on Islamic law. It is popularly
known in Nigerian and Western media as Boko
Haram, which means Western education is
forbidden (the word boko is a holdover from
the colonial English word for book). The group,
which has existed in various forms since the
late 1990s, suffered setbacks in July 2009 when
clashes with Nigerian Government forces led
to the deaths of hundreds of its members,
including former leader Muhammad Yusuf.
In July 2010, Boko Harams former
second-in-command, Abubakar Shekau,
appeared in a video claiming leadership of
the group and threatening attacks on Western
influences in Nigeria. Later that month,
Shekau issued a second statement expressing
solidarity with al-Qaida and threatening the
United States. Under Shekaus leadership, the
group has continued to demonstrate growing
operational capabilities, with an increasing
use of improvised explosive device (IED),
76
Boko Harams capability increased in 2014, with

the group conducting near-daily attacks against
Christians, security and police forces, the media,
schools, politicians, and Muslims perceived
as collaborators. Boko Haram continued to
raise its international profile in 2015, pledging
allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL) in Marchand publicly using the
name ISIL-West Africa Province and similar
variantsand conducting simultaneous suicide
bombings in NDjamena, Chad, in Junethe first
such attack in that countrys capital.
Boko Harams violenceincluding the
kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in Borno State,
Nigeria, in April 2014brought international
condemnation and in February 2015 provoked
a large regional CT offensive against the
group that displaced it from the majority of
its strongholds in Nigeria. Nonetheless, Boko
Haram remains resilient, conducting attacks in
neighboring Cameroon, Chad, Niger, as well
as Nigeria, emphasizing the threat it poses to
Western and regional interests.
The US State Department designated Boko
Haram a Foreign Terrorist Organization in
November 2013.

Abubakar Shekau is the leader

of Jamaatu Ahl as-Sunnah
il-Daawati wal-Jihad, more
commonly known as Boko
Haram. Boko Haram, which
means Western education is
forbidden, is a Nigeria-based
terrorist organization that
seeks to overthrow the current
Nigerian government and
replace it with a regime based
on Islamic law. There are
reported communications,
training, and weapons links
between Boko Haram, AQIM,
al-Shabaab, and al-Qaida in
the Arabian Peninsula.
Shekau was previously the
groups second-in-command.
In July 2010, Shekau publicly
claimed leadership of Boko
Haram and threatened to
attack Western interests in
Nigeria. Later that month,
Shekau issued a second
statement expressing
solidarity with al-Qaida and
threatening the United States.
The group set off its first
vehicle-borne improvised
explosive device (IED) in June
2011, and has increasingly
used IEDs in attacks against
soft targets. Boko Harams 26
August 2011 vehicle-bomb
attack on the United Nations
headquarters in Abuja,
Nigeria, marked the groups
first lethal operation against
Western interests. At least
23 people were killed, and
80 more injured, in the
attack. A purported Boko
Haram spokesman claimed
responsibility for the
attack and promised future
targeting of US and Nigerian

government interests.
On 1 May 2012, less than one
week after the group bombed
a Nigerian newspaper building
in Abuja, Boko Haram issued
a video statement threatening
more attacks on local and
international news outlets,
including the Voice of America
and Sahara Reporters, a New
York-based media service.
Under Shekaus leadership
Boko Haram has continually
targeted young children. On
14 April 2014, Boko Haram
kidnapped close to 300 girls
from their school in northern
Nigeria. In a video message
released three weeks later,
Shekau claimed responsibility
for the kidnappings.
On 21 June 2012, the
designated Shekau a Specially
under Executive Order 13224.

Lords Resistance Army (LRA)

Kony. LRA soldiers quickly gained a reputation
for murder, torture, rape, and mutilations aimed
primarily at Acholi communities, as well as
abducting tens of thousands of children over the
years to use as sex slaves and child soldiers.
In 2008, following Konys refusal to sign a
negotiated peace agreement, Ugandan, DRC,
and southern Sudanese armies launched a
joint military offensive, Operation Lightning
Thunder, against the LRA in northeastern
Congo. As a result, the LRA broke up into smaller,
more mobile groups and spread out in the
border region, making them even more difficult
to locate.
The Lords Resistance Army is a

Ugandan rebel group currently
operating in the border region of
the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC), the Central African
Republic (CAR), and South
Sudan. Joseph Kony established
Joseph Kony
the LRA in 1988 with the claim
of restoring the honor of his ethnic Acholi
people and to install a government based on his
personal version of the Ten Commandments.
Kony claims to channel various spirits who direct
him to oust Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni;
however, under Konys leadership, LRA soldiers
conduct violence for the sake of violence,
primarily against civilians, rather than fighting to
advance a political agenda.
The LRA has its roots in the conflict between the
Acholi tribe of northern Uganda and other tribes
in southern Uganda that began during Idi Amin
Dadas regime (1971-1979). Power changed hands
between two equally ruthless Acholi leaders after
Idi Amin was overthrown, but the Acholi were
forced to flee back to the north when Museveni
seized power in 1986. Alienated Acholi troops
subsequently formed a less extreme Holy Spirit
movement to counter the Ugandan government.
However, following their defeat in 1988, a more
violent movementthe LRA emerged under
82
In May 2010 the US Congress passed the Lords

Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern
Uganda Recovery Act, which follows the US
State Department inclusion of the LRA on the
Terrorist Exclusion List in 2001 and designation
of Joseph Kony as a Specially Designated Global
Terrorist under Executive Order 13324 in 2008.
In October 2011 the United States sent a force
of 100 soldiersin an advisory roleto regional
militaries aimed at removing Kony from the
battlefield. In March 2014 the US announced
it was sending additional soldiers and military
aircraft to augment the hunt for Kony.
In January 2015 Dominic Ongwen, an
LRA general wanted for war crimes, was
apprehended by US forces and is awaiting
trial at the International Criminal Court in the
Hague. Ongwen is one of five commanders,
including Kony, indicted by the ICC in 2005.
Konys whereabouts are unknown, although
he is believed to be hiding in Kafia Kingi, a
Sudanese-controlled enclave on the border of the
CAR and South Sudan. Kony is also believed to
be in poor health. Defectors from the LRA have
reported that Kony has diabetes, while it has also
been alleged the warlord has AIDS.
The LRA is now thought to number between 200
and 300 fighters. In recent years the group has
carried out attacks in the DRC, South Sudan, and
the CAR. Although the group is reportedly in
decline, the LRA abducted 121 people and killed
at least three others between April and June
2015, according to the UN.

Ansar al-Sharia (AAS)

in the death of J. Christopher Stevens, the
US Ambassador to Libya, and three other US
citizens. The United States designated AAS-B
and AAS-D as Foreign Terrorist Organizations
in January 2014. The groups are also suspected
of involvement in attacks and kidnappings
targeting foreigners, including an assassination
of an American teacher in Benghazi in
December 2013.
Ansar al-Sharia (AAS) groups in

Libya emerged following the 2011
Libyan revolution. Their goal is
to establish sharia and to remove
US and Western influence from
Libya. Ansar al-Sharia is most
active in the Libyan cities of
Benghazi, Darnah, Sirte, and Ajdabiya, but most
likely operates elsewhere around the country as
well. AAS works with regional extremist groups
to train, conduct attacks, and amass weapons,
and actively fights Libyan security services
efforts to assert control throughout the country.
The term Ansar al-Sharia means Partisans of
Islamic Law.
On 18 June 2015, AAS released an audio
statement naming Abu Khalid al-Madani as the
groups new amir. The groups previous leader,
Muhammad al-Zawahi, was killed while fighting
in Benghazi in September 2014. Following
Zawahis death, the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant in Libya benefited from the defection of
multiple AAS members.
Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi (AAS-B) and Ansar
al-Sharia in Darnah (AAS-D) were most likely
involved in the 11 September 2012 attacks
against US facilities in Benghazi that resulted
84
Ansar al-Sharia in Tunisia

(AAS-T) was founded in 2011
by Saifallah Ben Hassine, also
known as Abu Iyad al-Tunisi,
after he was released from
prison during the Tunisian
revolution. In mid-2015, Bin
Abu Iyad al-Tunisi
Hassine was tried, found guilty,
and sentenced in absentia by a Tunisian
criminal court to 50 years in prison for his role
in terrorist activities. AAS-T was blamed for
inciting the storming of the US Embassy in
Tunis on 14 September 2012, and has since been
designated by the United States as a Foreign
Terrorist Organization. AAS-T remains intent on
conducting attacks against Western interests in
spite of increasing Tunisian security capability
and counterterrorism operations. AAS-T
attempted suicide attacks against two tourist
sites in October 2013 and in 2014 probably was
plotting against Jewish targets and Western
diplomatic missions in Tunisia.

Hizballah
In July 2011 the UN Special Tribunal for
Lebanon (STL) indicted four Hizballah
membersincluding a senior Hizballah
officialfor the assassination of former
Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri, who was
killed by a car-bomb in Beirut on 14 February
2005. Hizballah leader Hasan Nasrallah has
publicly stated that Hizballah will not allow
any members to be arrested, and continues to
paint the STL as a proxy of Israel and the United
States.
Formed in 1982 in response to the Israeli invasion

of Lebanon, Hizballah (the Party of God), a
Lebanon-based Shia terrorist group, advocates
Shia empowerment globally. Hizballah has been
involved in numerous anti-US terrorist attacks,
including the suicide truck bombings of the US
Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, the US Marine
barracks in Beirut in October 1983, and the US
Embassy annex in Beirut in September 1984, as
well as the hijacking of TWA 847 in 1985 and the
Khobar Towers attack in Saudi Arabia in 1996.
Hizballah has participated in the Lebanese
Government since 1992. With the 2004 passage
of UN Security Council Resolution 1559, which
called for the disarmament of all armed militias
in Lebanon, Hizballah has focused on justifying
its retention of arms by casting itself as the
defender of Lebanon against Israeli aggression.
On 12 July 2006, Hizballah kidnapped two
Israeli soldiers, sparking the 2006 war in
which Hizballah claimed victory by virtue of its
survival. It has since sought to use the conflict to
justify its need to retain its arms as a Lebanese
resistance force. In May 2008, Hizballah militants
seized parts of Beirut in response to calls by
the government to restrict Hizballahs secure
communications and arms. In negotiations to
end the violence, Hizballah gained veto power in
the government and retained its arms and secure
communications.
90
In February 2008, Hizballah military chief

Imad Mughniyah was killed by a vehicle
bomb in Damascus. Nasrallah publicly blamed
Israel and continues to promise retaliation.
Additionally, Hasan al-Laqis, a senior Hizballah
military leader, was shot and killed outside his
home on 3 December 2013. Hizballah accused
Israel of responsibility for the killing, although
Tel Aviv denied involvement. Two unknown
extremist factions issued statements claiming
responsibility for the killing.
Since Mughniyahs death, the group has engaged
in its most aggressive terrorist campaign
targeting Israeli interests outside the Middle East
since the 1990s. In July 2012, Hizballah detonated
a bomb on a bus in Burgas, Bulgaria, killing five
Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian. Several other
plots have been disrupted, including the 2014
arrests of operatives in Peru and Thailand and
the 2015 discovery of an explosives cache and
identification of an operative in Cyprus.
Nasrallah publicly indicated in May 2013 that
Hizballah was supporting Bashar al-Asads
regime by sending fighters to Syria, including
Iraqi Shia militias. The group also supports
Palestinian rejectionist groups in their struggle
against Israel and provides training for Iraqi
Shia militants attacking Western interests in
Iraq. The European Union designated Hizballahs
military wing as a terrorist organization on 22
July 2013, following the March conviction that
year of a Hizballah member in Cyprus, the July
2012 bus bombing in Bulgaria, and the groups
intervention in Syria.

sites, killing more than 160 people. Pakistani
authorities in April 2015 released on bail the head
of LT operations, Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi, pending
prosecution of him and several other LT leaders
for the Mumbai attacks. David Headley, an
American citizen who acknowledged attending
LT training camps, pleaded guilty in March 2010
to scouting targets for the Mumbai attacks.
On 21 November 2012, India executed the lone
surviving Mumbai attackerAjmal Kasab, a
Pakistaniafter the Indian Supreme Court
upheld his death sentence. India has accused
LT of involvement in other high-profile attacks,
including the 11 July 2006 attack on multiple
Mumbai commuter trains that killed more than
180 people. Indian authorities have speculated
that LT also may have contributed surveillance
and planning for the 13 February 2010 bombing
of a German bakery in Pune, India.
Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, also known as Army of
the Righteous, is one of the largest and most
proficient of the Kashmir-focused militant
groups. LT formed in the early 1990s as the
military wing of Markaz-ud-Dawa-wal-Irshad,
a Pakistan-based Islamic fundamentalist
missionary organization founded in the 1980s to
oppose the Soviets in Afghanistan. Since 1993, LT
has conducted numerous attacks against Indian
troops and civilian targets in the disputed Jammu
and Kashmir state, as well as several high-profile
attacks inside India itself. Concern over new
LT attacks in India remains high. The United
States and United Nations have designated
LT an international terrorist organization. The
Pakistani Government banned LT and froze its
assets in 2002. In April 2012 two senior LT leaders
were designated by the US State Department
Rewards for Justice program. In June 2014, the
US Treasury Department imposed sanctions
on two additional LT leaders and the US State
Department amended the Foreign Terrorist
Organizations and Specially Designated Global
Terrorist designations for LT to include four
additional front organizations.
The Indian Government has charged LT with
committing the 2629 November 2008 attacks
in Mumbai, in which gunmen using automatic
weapons and grenades attacked several
100
LTs exact size is unknown, but the group

probably has several thousand members,
predominantly Pakistani nationals seeking a
united Kashmir under Pakistani rule. The group
recruits internationally, as evidenced by the
arrest in the United States of Jubair Ahmed in
2011, Headleys arrest in 2009, and the indictment
in 2003 of 11 LT terrorists in Virginia. In 2003,
authorities also disrupted an LT plot to attack
Australia and in 2009 LT put on hold a plot to
attack Denmark in retaliation for cartoons drawn
of the Prophet Muhammad.
LT maintains facilities in Pakistan, including
training camps, schools, and medical clinics. LT
coordinates its charitable activities through its
front organization, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), which
spearheaded humanitarian relief to the victims
of the October 2005 earthquake in Kashmir. JuD
activities, however, have been limited since
December 2008 by the UNs designation of the
group as an alias for LT. During the 2010 floods
in Pakistan, JuD and an affiliated charity, the
Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FiF), were widely
reported to have provided aid to flood victims.
In 2014, JuD and FiF were providing relief to
internally displaced persons in Pakistan who
fled from Pakistani military operations in the
Federally Administered Tribal Areas.

Central Eurasia and Central Asia Terrorism

The Islamic Jihad Union (IJU) is an extremist
organization that splintered from the Islamic
Movement of Uzbekistan in the early 2000s
and is currently based in Pakistans Federally
Administered Tribal Areas. The IJU, which
is committed to toppling the government in
Uzbekistan, conducted two attacks there in
2004 and one in 2009. The IJU is also active
in Afghanistan, where the group operates
alongside the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani
Network. The group has had particular
success in recruiting German nationals and
achieved international notoriety following
the 2007 disruption of an IJU plot by the
so-called Sauerland Cell to attack various
targets in Germany. The US State Department
in June 2005 designated the IJU a Foreign
Terrorist Organization.
Imirat Kavkaz (IK), founded in late 2007 by

now-deceased Chechen extremist Doku
Umarov, is an Islamist militant organization
based in Russias North Caucasus. Its stated
goal is the liberation of what it considers to
be Muslim lands from Moscow. The group,
now led by Abu Usman Gimrinskiy, also
known as Magomed Suleymanov, regularly
conducts attacks against Russian security
forces in the North Caucasus. In the period
2010-2013, it carried out high-profile suicide
bombings against civilian targets in Moscow
and elsewhere in Russia that killed dozens.
The group has been badly weakened by recent
defections of senior leaders and fighters to the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and
it remains unclear how many extremists remain
loyal to IK in the North Caucasus. Nonetheless,
at least one militant group fighting Bashar
al-Asad in Syria composed partly of North
Caucasians remains loyal to IK leadership and
Gimrinskiy. The US State Department in May
2011 designated Imirat Kavkaz as a Specially
Designated Terrorist Group under Executive
Order 13224.
108
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU)

is an extremist organization that formed
in the late 1990s and is currently based in
Pakistans Federally Administered Tribal
Areas. The IMU seeks to overthrow the
government in Uzbekistan and establish a
radical Islamist caliphate in all of Turkestan,
which it considers to be the Central Asian
region between the Caspian Sea and Xinjiang
in western China. The IMU has become
increasingly active in the Taliban-led insurgency
in northern Afghanistan, providing the IMU with
a springboard for future operations in Central
Asia. A known IMU spokesperson in a video
message delivered to Radio Libertys Tajik
service claimed responsibility for a September
2010 ambush against a military convoy in
Tajikistan. The IMU in June 2014 joined Tehrik-e
Taliban Pakistan fighters in a deadly siege of
Karachi International Airport that killed 37.
IMU has made public claims in support of
ISIL, potentially fracturing their longstanding
ties with the Afghan Taliban. The US State
Department in September 2000 designated the
IMU a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Afghan Taliban
The Taliban is a Sunni Islamist nationalist and
pro-Pashtun movement founded in the early
1990s that ruled most of Afghanistan from 1996
until October 2001. The movements founding
nucleusthe word Taliban is Pashto for
studentswas composed of peasant farmers
and men studying Islam in Afghan and Pakistani
madrasas, or religious schools. The Taliban
found a foothold and consolidated their strength
in southern Afghanistan.
By 1994, the Taliban had moved their way
through the south, capturing several provinces
from various armed factions who had been
fighting a civil war after the Soviet-backed
Afghan government fell in 1992. By September
1996, the Taliban had captured Kabul, killed the
countrys president, and established the Islamic
Emirate of Afghanistan. The Talibans first move
was to institute a strict interpretation of Quranic
instruction and jurisprudence. In practice, this
meant often merciless policies on the treatment
of women, political opponents of any type, and
religious minorities.
In the years leading up to the 11 September 2001
attacks in the United States, the Taliban provided
a safe haven for al-Qaida. This gave al-Qaida
a base in which it could freely recruit, train,
and deploy terrorists to other countries. The
Taliban held sway in Afghanistan until October
2001, when they were routed from power by the
US-led campaign against al-Qaida.
In arguably the most significant development
in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region since the
May 2011 death of al-Qaida founder Usama
Bin Ladin, the Taliban in July 2015 revealed that
its reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar,
had died in 2013. Omar, who was the president
of Afghanistan during the Talibans rule and a

US Government through the Rewards for Justice
program. Mullah Akhtar Mohammed Mansur,
who was Omars second-in-command, in early
August 2015 was selected as the new Taliban
leader. Mansur is only the second leader that the
group has ever had.

The Afghan Taliban are responsible for most

insurgent attacks in Afghanistan, which follow
an established pattern of regular low-level
ambush and hit-and-run attacks, coupled with
periodic high-profile attacks. The Taliban have
been moving aggressively in many parts of
the country, evidenced by the fact that suicide
and complex attacks increased by 78 percent
countrywide in the first six months of 2015
compared with the same period in 2014. The
Taliban between 7 and 10 August 2015 conducted
a series of attacks in quick succession in Kabul
that resulted in at least 60 deaths, marking
the deadliest stretch in the capital since the
US-led invasion in 2001. In the first attack, a
suicide bomber detonated a large truck bomb
in a residential area while attempting to target
an Afghan Defense Ministry building, killing 15
civilians and wounding up to 400 others. On its
own, the explosion caused an unprecedented
number of casualties from a single attack in the
capital in recent yearsthe Taliban is widely
suspected of having conducted the attack
although they did not claim responsibility for
it because of the massive civilian casualties.
Less than 24 hours later, over 40 cadets and
civilians were killed when a suicide bomber
dressed in police uniform blew himself up at the
entrance of Kabul Police Academy. Later that
day a Taliban squad targeted Resolute Support
Mission installation Camp Integrity, killing at
least nine, including one NATO serviceman.
On 10 August a Taliban suicide bomber plowed
a car into a checkpoint near the entrance to
Kabul International Airport, killing at least 5 and
wounding 15.

Haqqani Network
lethal and sophisticated insurgent group
targeting US, Coalition, and Afghan forces in
Afghanistan; they typically conduct coordinated
small-arms assaults coupled with rocket
attacks, IEDs, suicide attacks, and attacks using
bomb-laden vehicles.
The Haqqani Network is a Sunni Islamist militant

organization founded by Jalaluddin Haqqani,
who emerged as a top Afghan warlord and
insurgent commander during the anti-Soviet
war; he was a member of the Hezb-e Islami
faction led by renowned mujahedin commander
Younis Khalis. Jalaluddin later allied with the
Afghan Taliban as that groups Minister of
Tribal and Border Affairs when the Taliban held
power in Afghanistan during the mid-to-late
1990s. He was a known associate of Usama
Bin Ladin and was recognized as one of Bin
Ladins closest mentors during the al-Qaida
founders formative years in the 1980s Afghan
war. Sirajuddin Haqqani, Jalaluddins son,
currently leads the day-to-day activities of
the group, along with several of his closest
relatives. Sirajuddin in August 2015 was named
as a deputy to newly appointed Taliban leader
Mullah Akhtar Mohammed Mansurcementing
the alliance between the Haqqanis and
the Taliban.
The Haqqani Network is primarily based in
North Waziristan, Pakistan, and conducts
cross-border operations into eastern
Afghanistan and Kabul. The group is primarily
composed of members of the Zadran tribe.

The Haqqani Network is responsible for some

of the highest-profile attacks of the Afghan war,
including the June 2011 assault on the Kabul
Intercontinental Hotel, conducted jointly with
the Afghan Taliban, and two major suicide
bombingsin 2008 and 2009against the
Indian Embassy in Kabul. In September 2011,
the Haqqanis participated in a day-long assault
against major targets in Kabul, including the
US Embassy, International Security Assistance
Force (ISAF) headquarters, the Afghan
Presidential Palace, and the Afghan National
Directorate of Security headquarters. More
recently, in October 2013, Afghan security
forces intercepted a truck bomb deployed
by the Haqqanis against Forward Operating
Base Goode in Paktiya Province. The device,
which did not detonate, contained some 61,500
pounds of explosives and was the largest truck
bomb ever built. The group is also involved in
a number of criminal activities in Afghanistan
and Pakistan, including extortion, kidnapping for
ransom, and smuggling.
The US Government in 2012 designated
the Haqqani Network as a Foreign Terrorist
Organization because of its involvement
in the Afghan insurgency, attacks on US
military and civilian personnel and Western
interests in Afghanistan, and because of its
ties to the Taliban and al-Qaida. In addition to
designating the group, key members have also
been individually designated. Haqqani leaders
Saidullah Jan, Yahya Haqqani, and Muhammad
Omar Zadran, as well as suicide operations
chief Qari Abdul Rauf (also known as Qari
Zakir), and Ibrahim Haqqani, remain either
designated for financial sanctions or are on US
most-wanted lists.

an interview with an American
news organization, Sirajuddin
admitted planning the 14
January 2008 attack against
the Serena Hotel in Kabul that
killed six people, including
American citizen Thor David
Hesla. Sirajuddin also admitted
to having planned the April
2008 assassination attempt
on Afghan President Hamid

statement had been issued. Ever the opportunist,
Hekmatyar in early August 2015 urged the
Taliban to join HIG after Mullah Omars death.
HIGs influence in Afghanistan started to wane
in 1996, when the Taliban assumed control
of most of the country following a series of
clashes between the two groups, forcing HIG
from southern Kabul and driving Hekmatyar
into exile in Iran. HIG re-emerged in Afghanistan
following the US-led operation in October
2001, and has carried out attacks on Afghan
and Coalition forces, primarily in Kunar and
Nuristan Provinces. HIG also uses Pakistans
Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa Province as a staging area for
logistics, fundraising, and recruitment efforts,
particularly in the Shamshatu refugee camp
located near Peshawar.
Hezb-e-Islami, or Party
of Islam, is a political and
paramilitary organization
in Afghanistan founded in
1976 by former Afghan prime
minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar,
who has been prominent in
Gulbuddin
various Afghan conflicts since
Hekmatyar
the late 1970s. Hezb-e Islami
Gulbuddin (HIG) is an offshoot of that original
Hezb-e-Islami, and is a virulently anti-Western
insurgent group whose goal is to replace the
Western-backed Afghan Government with
an Islamic state rooted in sharia in line with
Hekmatyars vision of a Pashtun-dominated
Afghanistan. His group conducts attacks against
Coalition forces, Afghan Government targets,
and Western interests in Afghanistan. HIG is
distinct from Hezb-e-Islami Afghanistan (HIA),
a legal Afghan political party composed of,
among others, some reconciled HIG members.
HIG shares most elements of Taliban ideology
and HIG insurgents cooperate with the Taliban
in some parts of Afghanistan despite some
ideological differences. Hekmatyar in July 2015
told his followers to help Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant (ISIL) fighters in Afghanistan fight the
Taliban but stopped short of pledging allegiance
to ISIL. HIG spokesman Haroon Zarghoon a
few days later, however, denied that any such
126
Hekmatyar and his deputies, Ghairat Baheer

and Qutbuddin Hilal, continue to participate
sporadically in negotiations with the Afghan
Government. Hilal even ran for Afghan president
in the countrys April 2014 election and in June
2015 was appointed by Afghan President Ashraf
Ghani as a special advisor for peace affairs. HIG,
however, continues to issue strongly-worded
editorials against the NATO mission in
Afghanistan and against the Western-backed
Afghan Government.
The group has conducted some widely
publicized attacks during the past few years.
Most recently, HIG spokesman Haroon Zarghoon
claimed responsibility for a suicide VBIED attack
in Kabul on 7 July 2015 against a NATO convoy.
HIG also claimed responsibility for a deadly
insider attack in April 2015 in Nangarhar Province
in which a US soldier was killed. On 10 February
2014, the group executed an attack which killed
at least two US civilians and wounded two other
Americans and seven Afghan nationals. HIG was
also responsible for a 16 May 2013 suicide VBIED
attack in Kabul, which destroyed a US armored
SUV and killed two US soldiers, four US civilian
contractors, eight Afghansincluding two
childrenand wounded at least 37 others. The
attack marked the deadliest incident against US
personnel in Kabul in 2013.

AnsarBayt al-Maqdis (ABM)
Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis (ABM)also

known as the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)-Sinai
Provinceis the most active and
capable terrorist group operating
in Egypt. ABMwhich pledged
allegiance to ISIL in November
2014, becoming ISILs Sinai
Provinceseeks the destruction of Israel and
the establishment of an Islamic emirate and
implementation of sharia in the Sinai Peninsula.
The group is based in the Sinai but in fall 2013
expanded its operational reach into Egypts
Nile Valley.
ABM emerged in 2011 when it claimed
responsibility for a cross-border attack into
southern Israel from the Sinai. Since 2011, ABM
has carried out additional cross-border attacks,
launched rocket attacks against Israel, and
repeatedly bombed the gas pipeline in the Sinai
that supplies natural gas to Israel and Jordan.
Following the August 2013 crackdown by
Egyptian security forces on those protesting
the ouster of President Muhammad Mursi,
ABM launched a campaign of attacks against
Egyptian government and security targets.
ABM since then has claimed responsibility for
several of the highest-profile and sophisticated

attacks in Egypt, including an attempted
assassination of the Egyptian Minister of the
Interior, the downing of an Egyptian military
helicopter in the Sinai with a surface-to-air
missile, and several deadly vehicle-borne
improvised explosive device attacks against
Egyptian security installations. ABM for the
first time demonstrated its willingness to target
civilians when it claimed responsibility for a
suicide bombing on a tourist bus in the Sinai in
February 2014, though ABM described the attack
as targeting Egyptian economic interests. The
group also claimed responsibility for an August
2014 carjacking in Egypts western desert that
killed a US oil worker. Since announcing its
formal alignment with ISIL in late 2014, ABM
has conducted several of its most lethal and
sophisticated attacks to date and has continued
to focus attacks primarily against Egyptian
government and security targets. However,
the group claimed responsibility for a June
2015 rocket and mortar attack against the
Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) base
in the Sinai, the first terrorist attack against
MFO facilities.
ABM has not made explicit threats against
the West or Western targets in its official
propaganda. However, the group views the
West, and the United States in particular, as
supporters of Israel and Egypt and expresses
anti-Western sentiment in its rhetoric. Various
social media accounts claiming association with
the group have posted threats to US and other
Western targets, although ABM has repeatedly
denied a social media presence.
The US State Department designated ABM as
a Foreign Terrorist Organization in April 2014.
The US Department of the Treasurys Office of
Foreign Asset Control has designated several
ABM-affiliated persons and groups as Specially

Greek Domestic Terrorism

Greek and Western interests after its emergence
in 2003, including a rocket-propelled grenade
attack against the US Embassy in Athens in
January 2007. Greek authorities largely disrupted
the groups operations in 2010. In mid-2012
the groups ringleader, Nikos Maziotis, and his
girlfriend violated the terms of their release
pending trial and disappeared. Maziotiswho
was recaptured by Greek police in July 2014has
since been linked to a number of bank robberies.
In April 2014, EA claimed responsibility for a
car-bombing outside the Bank of Greece in
Athens to protest Greeces return to international
markets, its first attack since 2009.
Greek domestic terrorism stems from radical

leftist and anarchist ideologies that developed
in reaction to the military dictatorship that ruled
Greece from 1967 to 1974. Shortly after the
dictatorships collapse, radical leftist elements
emerged to form Greeces two most notorious
terrorist groups, Revolutionary Organization
17 November (17N) and Revolutionary Popular
Struggle (ELA).
17Ns first major operation was the assassination
of CIA Chief of Station Richard Welch in 1975. For
the next 27 years, 17N was Greeces most lethal
terrorist group, killing at least 23 individuals,
including four Americans. ELA appeared in
1975 and became Greeces most active terrorist
organization, conducting approximately 250
attacks against a wide range of targets. ELA
claimed its last operation in 1994. Following
a botched attack, Greek authorities largely
eliminated 17N in 2002 under pressure to stem
terrorism prior to the 2004 Olympic Games.
A new generation of terrorist groups
subsequently emerged, the three most
prominent of which were Revolutionary Struggle
(EA), Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei (SPF), and Sect of
Revolutionaries (SE).
EA, a radical leftist group, conducted a number
of high-profile terrorist operations against
SPF, an anarchist group, claimed responsibility

for a 2010 parcel bomb campaign that targeted
international leaders and institutions outside
Greece, a first for Greek domestic terrorists. A
series of arrests from late 2010 through 2011
against the groups leadership temporarily
crippled SPFs operations. In June 2013, however,
SPF claimed responsibility for a bomb attack
against the car of the director of Korydallos
prisonwhere many domestic terrorists are
currently heldpromising more attacks and
declaring a common front with other like-minded
groups and the international Informal Anarchist
Federation/International Revolutionary Front. In
April 2014, SPF claimed responsibility for a parcel
bomb targeting a police station.
Radical leftist SE last acted in 2010 after a
13-month hiatus to assassinate a Greek journalist
outside of his Athens home, having assassinated
a Hellenic Police officer in 2009. SE has not
claimed an attack since 2010.
Largely unknown groups in 2012 claimed an
attempt on the Athens metro using a crude
incendiary device and an incendiary attack that
severely damaged Microsoft offices in Athens.
Attacks continued in 2013-14, including a spate
of arson attacks against journalists homes and
government offices, a bombing at The Mall in
Athens, violence between anarchists and the
rising extreme-right party Golden Dawn, and
gunmen firing on the residence of the German
ambassador in Athens. Other groups active in the
last year included the Group of Popular Rebels
(OLA) and the Zero Tolerance Organization (ZTO).

Turkish Domestic Terrorism

targeting Turkish Government and police
interests, indicating that the group remained
operationally viable despite crackdowns. For
example, the group on 31 March 2015 took
hostage a Turkish prosecutorwho along with
his captors was killed during a shootout with
policeand on 1 April attempted a failed suicide
bombing targeting the Turkish National Polices
Istanbul headquarters.
The Revolutionary Peoples Liberation Party/

Front (DHKP/C) was created in 1994 when
its predecessor group, Devrimci Sol or Dev
Sol, splintered after factional infighting. The
Marxist-Leninist group espouses an anti-US,
anti-NATO, and anti-Turkish establishment
ideology and has targeted US interests
intermittently for several decades, most recently
in February 2013 when a suicide bomber targeted
the US Embassy in Ankara, killing a Turkish
security guard. Its goals are the overthrow of the
Turkish state, the removal of the US and NATO
footprint from Turkey, and the abolition of one- to
three-man prison cells, called F-type prisons, in
Turkey. The US Department of State in April 2014
offered rewards for information on three DHKP/C
leaders through its Rewards for Justice program.
In response, DHKP/C issued a statement calling
the United States its chief enemy.
DHKP/C added suicide bombings to its tactics in
2001, with successful attacks against the Turkish
police, in addition to improvised explosive
devices and targeted assassinations. Increased
attacks in 2003 probably were a reaction to
Turkeys support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
DHKP/C entered an operational lull until mid-2012
when the group resumed attacks against Turkish
police targets. Following the February 2013
US Embassy attack, DHKP/C has continued
The Kurdistan Peoples Congress

(Kongra-Gel or KGK, formerly the
Kurdistan Workers Party, PKK) is
a Kurdish separatist group
primarily active in part of
northern Iraq and southeastern
Turkey. Composed mostly of
Abdullah Ocalan
Turkish Kurds, the group in 1984
began a campaign of armed violence, including
terrorism, which resulted in over 45,000 deaths.
KGK and Turkish forces clashed repeatedly in
2011 and 2012, including an attack in October
2011 that killed 24 Turkish troops and was the
deadliest incident since 1993. KGK also stepped
up its kidnapping campaign against Turkish state
employees and soldiers, which included the
unprecedented abduction of a Turkish
parliamentary deputy in August 2012.
The KGKs imprisoned leader, Abdullah Ocalan,
in 2012 entered into peace negotiations with the
Turkish Government. Negotiations continued into
2014, though KGK leaders expressed frustration,
charging the Turkish Government failed to
establish legal and constitutional guarantees.
The accompanying cease-fire endured despite
clashes and tensions in southeast Turkey sparked
in part by the construction of Turkish military
outposts that Kurdish supporters allege undercut
the peace process.
Clashes in July 2015 between Turkish security
forces and KGK resulted in nationwide
detentions of alleged KGK members and a wave
of Turkish airstrikes against the groups camps
and weapons stores in northern Iraq. Renewed
KGK violence against Turkish authorities had
resulted in the deaths of at least 11 police and
army members as of late July 2015.

Common ExplosivesIdentification and Characteristics

Primary Explosive Boosters
Secondary Explosive/Main Charge
Military/Commercial Explosives
Triacetone-Triperoxide (TATP) is an
improvised primary explosive that
is relatively easy to synthesize. It
can be very unstable and sensitive
to heat, shock, and friction. TATP
is made of a mixture of hydrogen
peroxide and acetone with the
addition of an acid, such as sulfuric,
nitric, or hydrochloric acid.
Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil

(ANFO) is an explosive mixture
of ammonium nitrate and an
organic fuel. Because of its ready
availability and cheap material
cost, ANFO has been used
extensively as the main charge in
improvised weapons around the
world and is the most common
commercial explosive. ANFO is a
secondary/tertiary explosive, and
requires little specialized skills or
machinery to mix.
Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is one of the

most commonly used explosives
for military and industrial
purposes. Its insensitivity to shock
and friction reduces the risk of
accidental detonation. It appears
as a yellow solid and is commonly
mixed with other explosives
materials in commercial boosters
and military munitions or used as a
main charge.
Hexamethlene Triperoxide Diamine

(HMTD) is an improvised primary
explosive prepared from three
basic precursors: hexamine, a
weak acid, and hydrogen peroxide.
The product is highly sensitive to
friction, impact, and electrostatic
discharge. HMTD is corrosive in
contact in metals and can degrade
quickly if improperly synthesized
or stored.
Urea Nitrate is a high explosive

produced by combining dissolved
urea fertilizer with nitric acid.
Urea nitrate is formed as odorless
crystals that are colorless to
off-white, although additives and
or metal from the mixing container
may alter the compounds
appearance. Urea nitrate is
used as a secondary explosive/
main charge.
C-4 is a common insensitive

military explosive combining
cyclonite or cyclotrimethylene
trinitramine (RDX) as the explosive
agentusually about 91 percent of
the C-4 contentalong with plastic
binder, plasticizer, and possibly
marker chemicals which can help
identify the manufacturing source.
C-4 appears as an off-white solid
with a consistency similar to
modeling clay.
143
The Radiological ThreatFacts and Mitigation Measures

What Is a Dirty Bomb?
A dirty bomb is a radiological dispersal device
(RDD) that combines a conventional explosive,
such as dynamite, with radioactive material that
may disperse when the device explodes. Almost
any type of radioactive material with military,
industrial, or medical applications could be used
in a dirty bomb.
The terms dirty bomb and RDD are often used
interchangeably in the media. The device
kills or injures through the initial blast of the
conventional explosive and by spreading
radiation and contamination. Any bomb
can become dirty by simply adding
radioactive material.
The idea behind a dirty bomb is to spread
radioactive material into some populated
area and cause anxiety in those who think
they are being, or have been, exposed to
radiation. A dirty bomb could contaminate
buildings and the local environment, and
expose people to radiation emanating from the
radioactive material. People could be externally
contaminated (on their skin) or internally
contaminated with radioactive materials
through inhalation, ingestion, or
through wounds.
It is extremely unlikely that anyone who survives

the explosion will become sick from radiation.
Immediate health effects from exposure to the
low radiation levels expected from an RDD would
likely be minimal. Just because people are near
radioactive material for a short time or get a
small amount of radioactive dust on them does
not mean they will get cancer, and any additional
risk is likely to be extremely small.
Do not go to the Emergency Room just
because you think you were exposed to
radiation. Seek medical care only if you truly
feel sick and need help.
Indicators of Exposure
You cannot rely on your senses to tell if
you are being exposed to a harmful level of
radioactivity. Radiation detection equipment
and devices like Geiger counters and pocket
dosimeters are needed. Hazmat crews and many
fire trucks routinely carry such equipment with
them, and they would probably be the first to
detect abnormal levels of radioactivity.
Effects of an RDD AttackNo Need To Panic

The extent of local contamination would depend
on a number of factors, including the size of the
explosive, the amount and type of radioactive
material used, the means of dispersal, and
weather conditions. Those closest to the RDD
would be the most likely to sustain injuries due to
the explosion. As radioactive material spreads, it
becomes less concentrated and less harmful.
Scanning for radioactivity.
144
The Radiological ThreatFacts and Mitigation Measures

Protective Actions
If you are not involved in the immediate emergency response, the best thing you can do after a
bomb blast is try to leave the area quickly and calmly. If the attack includes radioactive material,
moving quickly away from the blast area will reduce the time and intensity of your exposure.
In an RDD attack, most people are unlikely to learn that the attack involved radioactive materials
until hours or days later. As a precaution, make sure to bag your outer layer of clothing, take a
shower, and wash your hair once you reach a safe location.
Removing shoes and outer clothes may get rid of up to 90% of radioactive dust
Washing will remove any remaining dust
Follow FEMA instructions on what to do nextlisten to the news or go online
The greatest radiation threat from a radiological weapon comes from fine particles that get inside
your body, such as from breathing or rubbing your eyes. Moving away from the attack site and
removing any dust on your clothes, skin, and hair are your best protection.
Sources of Radioactive Material
Radioactive materials are routinely used at medical, research, and industrial sites. The vast majority
of these materials are not useful in an RDD. The materials that are the most deadly are also the
hardest to obtain and handle.
Terrorist Pursuit of Radiological Weapons
Terrorists for many years have sought to acquire radioactive material for use in attacks. In 2004,
British authorities arrested a British national, Dhiren Barot, and several associates on various
charges, including conspiring to commit public nuisance by the use of radioactive materials. In 2006,
Barot was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

and/or lawns that are dead, discolored, or withered (no current drought)
Unexplained odors
Smells ranging from fruit/flower to sharp/pungent to garlic/horseradish-like to

bitter almonds/peach kernels to newly mown hay;
the particular odor is completely out of character with its surroundings
Low-lying clouds
Low-lying cloud/fog-like condition that is not explained by its surroundings

Toxic Industrial ChemicalsMitigation Measures

Treatment
Chlorine cannot be exhaled. If chlorine contacts
the skin, individuals should flush the affected
areas immediately with plenty of water,
then wash with soap and water. Clothing
contaminated with chlorine should be
removed immediately
Tanks like this can contain as much as 9,000 gallons of

toxic material.
In the event of exposure to a toxic

chemicaland after the immediate
danger and contamination have been
dealt withtake the following steps:
The term toxic industrial

chemicals refers to a variety
of chemicals used or created by
industry that can have a significant
impact on human health if
released into the air or water. A potential threat
exists for individuals located downwind or
downstream from an accidental or intentional
release of chemicals or for people situated near
toxic industrial processes.
Notify safety personnel
Toxic industrial chemicals may pose a risk

when they are stored in large quantities in one
location. An act of sabotage or an accident can
result in a large release of toxic material into the
air or water. Some material retains its lethality
even after traveling a considerable distance.
A release of chlorine gas into the surrounding
air is but one example of the toxic industrial
chemical threat.
Evacuate the spill area for at least 50 feet

(15 m) in all directions
Remove all sources of heat and ignition

Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.)
away from the leak
Ventilate potentially explosive atmospheres
Find and stop the leak if this can be done

without risk
Use water spray to reduce vapors; do not put
water directly on the leak or spill area
Chlorine
Chlorine gas is irritating and corrosive to the
airways, eyes, and skin.
Symptoms
Relatively low levels of chlorine gas exposure
can cause sore throat, coughing, and eye and
skin irritation, while higher levels can cause
burning of the eyes and skin, nausea, temporary
blindness, difficulty breathing, and chest pain.
At high enough concentration, chlorine gas can
cause immediate collapse and death.

Ricin
Ricin, the toxin found in castor beans, is
poisonous if inhaled, injected, or ingested.
It kills cells by inhibiting protein synthesis.
Treatment is available, but long-term organ
damage in survivors is likely.
Inhalation
Symptoms
Within a few hours of inhaling significant
amounts of ricin, the likely symptoms
include respiratory distress, fever, cough,
nausea, and tightness in the chest. Heavy
sweating and fluid building up in the lungs
may follow.
Ingestion
Symptoms
A person who ingests a significant amount
of ricin would suffer from vomiting and
diarrhea that may become bloody. Severe
dehydration may result, followed by low
blood pressure. Other symptoms may
include hallucinations, seizures, and blood
in the urine. Within several days, the
persons liver, spleen, and kidneys might
stop working, resulting in death.
Treatment
A solution of saline and glucose is used to
treat ricin poisoning.

Castor beans (shown on top) are used to produce Ricin, a deadly

poison. They are similar in color and size to pinto beans (shown
on bottom), but notice the small pointed protrusion on the end of
each castor bean.
Indicators of False Travel Documents
Physically altered passports

Passports with serial numbers that are
watchlisted as lost or stolen
Handwritten documents that are easily

forged or altered
Multiple passports used by the same person
with variations in the spelling/structure of the

name and of date of birth
Ambiguous or contradictory information
submitted to consular or border control officials
Absence of supporting documents to

corroborate passport information
Passports with glued-in photographs

Large gaps in travel history as reflected in
Ahmed Ressam, sentenced to 22 years in prison in 2005

for planning to bomb Los Angeles International Airport
on 31 December 1999, acquired this ostensibly genuine
Canadian passport by using a fraudulent baptismal
certificate; the obscured name was Western-sounding in
an attempt to evade scrutiny at theborder.
stamps and visa
False travel documents are often based on lost

or stolen passports. Prompt reporting of missing
documents can be an effective deterrent to
this threat.
If you are overseas, report your lost or stolen
passport to the nearest US embassy or
consulate immediately.
In the United States, report your lost or stolen
passport to the Department of States Passport
Services group;
call 1-877-487-2778 (TTY 1-888-874-7793).
If you find another persons lost U.S. passport,
please mail it in a sturdy envelope to:

State Sponsors of Terrorism

Countries determined by the Secretary of State to have repeatedly provided support for acts
of international terrorism are designated pursuant to three laws: section 6(j) of the Export
Administration Act, section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign
Assistance Act. Taken together, the four main categories of sanctions resulting from designation
under these authorities include restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance; a ban on defense exports
and sales; certain controls over exports of dual use items; and miscellaneous financial and
other restrictions.
Iran
19 January 1984
Sudan
12 August 1993
Syria
29 December 1979
Designation under the above-referenced authorities also implicates other sanctions laws that
penalize persons and countries engaging in certain trade with state sponsors. Currently there are
three countries designated under these authorities: Iran, Sudan, and Syria.
To designate a country as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, the Secretary of State must determine that
the government of such country has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.
Once a country is designated, it remains a State Sponsor of Terrorism until the designation is
rescinded in accordance with statutory criteria. A wide range of sanctions are imposed as a result of
a State Sponsor of Terrorism designation, including:
A ban on arms-related exports and sales

Controls over exports of dual-use items, requiring 30-day Congressional notification for goods or
services that could significantly enhance the terrorist-list countrys military capability or ability to
support terrorism
Prohibitions on economic assistance

Imposition of miscellaneous financial and other restrictions.

Logos
Law enforcement officers should be on the watch for these emblems and/or named groups during
traffic stops and other contacts. These emblems may be found on jewelry, documents, posters,
or other material. Displaying them may indicate membership in these groups and/or financial
or general support for them. All groups whose logos are displayed on these pages, with one
exception, have been designated by the US Department of State as either a Foreign Terrorist
Organization or under Executive Order 13224. Lords Resistance Armys logo is shown because its
leader, Joseph Kony, has been designated under E.O. 13224.
