"Creating Terror": The History of al Qaeda....

[Junkdrawer]

One of the most important aspects of the War on Terror(tm) is often missed by our (ahem) impartial corporate media. DU's very own Reprehensor has done a great job gathering together a good deal of the work of Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed.

Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed was born in London, England in November 1978. He is of Bangladeshi origin. He is a political analyst and human rights activist, specialising in Western foreign policy and its impact on human rights. He is Executive Director of the Institute for Policy Research & Development (IPRD), an independent, interdisciplinary, non-profit think tank based in Brighton, UK. The IPRD conducts research and analysis of local and global society for the promotion of human rights, justice and peace. IPRD briefings and reports are distributed to political representatives, NGOs, various media, research libraries and members of the general public in the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe and Canada.

Nafeez recently did an hour long presentation titled "Creating Terror" where he examined the history of 'al Qaeda'. Here's a link to the MP3 of that speech:

I also recommend Reprehensor's great thread “Deconstructing ‘al Qaeda’":

3. Shhh, nobody's supposed to know.

Or if they know they're not supposed to talk about it. It might bring down Haliburton's stock price!
