👉 The Al-Qaida Weapons Program, often referred to as the "Al-Qaida Al-Shabab al-Tahrir" or "Al-Qaida Al-Shabab Al-Tahrir," is a clandestine network that has been responsible for procuring weapons for terrorist activities, notably during the early 2000s. This program involved acquiring a wide array of weaponry from various sources, including foreign governments, black markets, and even stolen military equipment. Al-Qaida's operatives traveled extensively, negotiating with suppliers and forging documents to obtain weapons such as rockets, mortars, anti-tank missiles, and small arms. The program's scope was vast, contributing significantly to the capabilities of Al-Qaida's terrorist operations, including the 9/11 attacks. Despite international efforts to disrupt and dismantle it, the Al-Qaida Weapons Program remains a critical concern in global counter-terrorism strategies.
