| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Some U.S. counterintelligence officials fear that terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda may employ some of the same tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of intelligence collection as its state adversaries. Indeed, according to Justin R. Harber, “al-Qaeda training media include lessons on how to collect open source intelligence, conduct surveillance, interrogate detainees, and recruit agents working in a foreign government. Moreover, others argue that al-Qaeda—“… the most backward, barbaric, bloodthirsty, and oppressive terrorist group on earth”—is under-resourced, given the United States's “… massive, sprawling, multi-billion-dollar intelligence gathering bureaucracy. |
