Usama Bin Laden's greatest fear was not capture or death but the exposure of al-Qaeda's secrets. At great risk to themselves and the entire mission, the U.S. Special Operations Forces, who carried out the Abbottabad raid that killed Bin Laden, took an additional eighteen minutes to collect Bin Laden's hard drives and thereby expose al-Qaeda's secrets. In this groundbreaking book, Nelly Lahoud dives into Bin Laden's files and meticulously distills the nearly 6,000 pages of Arabic private communications. For the first time, al-Qaeda's closely guarded secrets are laid bare, shattering misconceptions and revealing how and what Bin Laden communicated with his associates, his plans for future attacks, and al-Qaeda's hostility toward countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan.

This book provides a study of political thought in Islam from the viewpoint of history of ideas.

L'entretien avec Nelly Lahoud, spécialiste du djihadisme à l'International Institute for Strategic Studies, permet de revenir sur le sujet d'actualité de la place des femmes dans la littérature et l'idéologie djihadiste. En détaillant comment Al-Qaïda et Daech ont théorisé et réglementé les rapports sociaux de sexe dans leurs mouvements, elle met en lumière des contradictions idéologiques et pratiques à l'appui d'une lecture ségréguée des rapports femmes-hommes.

"Terror is not simply what states do, it is also what they are for, what they are expected to do," Barry Hindess noted in his "Terrortory." He put into question the legitimate use of "terror" by states, arguing that underlying the state's capacity to exercise terror is a kind of "territorial fundamentalism." Given this territorial fundamentalism, Hindess questioned as to whether a world without terrorism is one that is better than one in which states have a monopoly on terror. This article builds on Hindess's account of state terrorism through the lens of several jihadi ideologues who make a distinction between what they consider to be praiseworthy terrorism as opposed to terrorism of falsehood.
