Safranim shalom, The following documents can be downloaded free of charge from the RAND Corp site.
Beyond al-Qaeda: Part 1, The Global Jihadist Movement 226 pgs http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2006/RAND_MG429.pdf This two-part RAND project aims to increase understanding of future threats from terrorist and other extremist organizations. Part One examines al-Qaeda and how it has changed since 9/11 and looks at terrorist groups in the jihadist movement that may not formally be part of al-Qaeda but have assimilated al-Qaeda's worldview and concept of mass-casualty terrorist attacks. Beyond al-Qaeda: Part 2, The Outer Rings of the Terrorist Universe 214 pgs http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2006/RAND_MG430.pdf Part Two examines other violent Islamist and non-Islamist groups, without known links to al-Qaeda, that threaten U.S. interests and allies and looks at the nexus between terrorism and organized crime. The authors conclude with policy recommendations. The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit research organization providing objective analysis and effective solutions that address the challenges facing the public and private sectors around the world. http://www.rand.org/ All the best, David David Elazar Rishon LeZion, Israel [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.geocities.com/d_elazar (home page) eVoicemail (413) 581-4711 (USA) eFax (801) 672-2976 (USA) Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
