U.N.: Al-Qaida’s Afghan Camps Reopening
Al-Qaida training camps have recently been reactivated in Afghanistan, and new volunteers are making their way into these camps, a U.N. report said Tuesday. While Osama bin Laden's financial network has been mostly dismantled, the group still has "access to substantial funding from its previously established investments," said the report, which monitors sanctions on al-Qaida. The new camps were "simple," the report by the group led by British expert Michael Chandler said. It said the activation of such camps in eastern Afghanistan was increasing the long-term capabilities of the al-Qaida network.Chandler was expected to give more details on the findings later Tuesday. "Welcome to Camp Impact Area. Please ignore the X mark in the center of the compound." Posted by: Steve 2002-12-17 |
