Interesting but older document I noticed at West Point's Combating Terrorism Center.
Al-Hakaymah recently joined Al-Qa'ida and seems to aspire to be its chief intelligence analyst. His report indicates that Al QaÂ’ida has evolved from studying U.S. security tactics and electoral politics to more sophisticated analyses of U.S. bureaucratic structure and weaknesses. Whereas security planners have tended to think of bureaucratic limitations as internal problems that may limit our ability to detect, prevent, or respond to an attack, we must now consider that Al QaÂ’ida will actively attempt to exploit these weaknesses. |
