Talk:Al Farouq training camp

Range of skills American counter-terrorism analysts claim were taught at the camp...
Someone added a brief list of skills analysts claimed were taught at the camp. If one were to take all the allegations seriously the al Farouq camp taught the use of practically every kind of weapon and tactic ever invented.

The full list includes rocket and artillery training. Urban warfare, mountain warfare, sniper training, bomb-making, poison training, chemical weapon training... Geo Swan (talk) 23:14, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Could we perhaps at least get citations for the allegations. Also, who is it that claims that the camp had relationship to al Qaeda, what was the alleged nature of that relationship, and what evidence was used to base those assertions? For example, Hicks book suggests that Bin Laden was present (and famed) in the same area but that nobody there had even heard of al Qaeda at that time, and he certainly contradicts many other of these allegations.

Two different Farouq camps - Khost and Kandahar
It seems clear that there are two different al Farouq or Farouk training camps, although many sources conflate the two. Peter Bergen in "The Osama Bin Laden I Know" indexed Farouq once but the text shows it in two places. Page 121 is near Khost while page 262 (cited in this article) is near Kandahar. The CTC report of CSRT data says that Farouq, the most highly cited camp by far, is (only) near Kandahar (www.pegc.us/archive/Organizations/CTC_csrt_rpt_20070725.pdf). While discussing al-Qaeda, Lawrence Wright, Roy Gutman and Ali Soufan  all say Farouq is near Khost. The 1998 cruise missile attacks were near Khost. In October 2001, I believe both locations were bombed. I can't find a source that explicitly differentiates the two. Can anybody help? - Mnnlaxer &#124; talk  &#124; stalk 21:07, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

"There were three or four camps under the name of Camp Farouk at that time in Afghanistan. I attended the open mainstream camp, not terrorist camps." Statement of David Hicks from. - Mnnlaxer &#124; talk  &#124; stalk 14:50, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
