The Encyclopedia of the Afghan Jihad ( Arabic: موسوعة الجهاد الأفغاني, tr: Mawsuat al-Jihad al-Afghani) is a multivolume encyclopedia describing diverse weapons in Arabic. [1] It was first published in Pakistan in late 1992 or early 1993. [2] The encyclopedia consists of more than 8,000 pages [2]—an abridged version has been reduced to approximately 1,000 pages [1]—and has been divided into 11 volumes. [3]
An electronic version of the original, full-length encyclopedia was discovered in the possession of a group of Muslim militants in Belgium in the 1990s. [2] Since then, several copies have been found; one was found in the possession of Abu Hamza al-Masri, a Muslim cleric who controlled the Finsbury Park Mosque in London, [4] and another was recovered from Osama bin Laden's headquarters in Kandahar. [1]
