Terrorism Camp for Westerners

Terrorism Camp for Westerners

An American who served time in Guantanamo Bay for terrorism offenses has recently told an Australian court

that he trained in two remote Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) camps with other Westerners. The man said that he went to

Pakistan with three friends from the U.S. at the urging of an American cleric. He said that trainees underwent

extensive physical training, and received instruction on how to use guns and rocket-propelled grenades. When

they finished the six-week course in November 2001, the number of English-speaking foreigners had grown

from 15 to 40. Lashkar e-Taiba

Recommendation: Be aware that terrorist identification is essential to our nation’s security, which requires

heightened vigilance by Department members.
