A knowledgeable person reports: 1. This document should not be identified as an "Al Qaeda" manual. This identification was applied falsely by the US Department of Justice as public relations gambit after 9/11 to promote the Global War on Terrorism. The term "Al Qaeda" does not appear in the document.

18 October 2003. The Smoking Gun now has the full manual in GIF images: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/jihadmanual.html This is the full manual in HTML. Thanks to A and M., add 67 pages: "Balance of Tenth Lesson, Special Tactical Operations," pp. 70-74 8 December 2001. Thanks to WM and SA. Several commentators have observed that this manual appears to be a compilation of material drawn from various military, intelligence and law enforcement manuals for internal security, guerilla and covert operations around the globe, and thus is not unique for its alleged sponsorship by Al Qaeda -- which is not mentioned in the manual. Most of these manuals make use of each other's offerings and are studied and emulated worldwide by internal security, military, intelligence and commercial organizations for offensive and defensive purposes. For more on "terrorism manuals," search Google on the term. A more comprehensive "Encyclopedia of the Afghan Jihad" was allegedly discovered in September 2001 which was claimed to be so frightening that most of it could not be made public -- not unlike claims made by the Department of Justice for parts of this manual. It is not yet clear whether any of these manuals are authentic, or are fabrications for disinformation and propaganda, as described in The Creation and Dissemination of All Forms of Information in Support of Psychological Operations (PSYOP) in Time of Military Conflict. A reader suggests comparing with manuals of the School of the Americas: http://www.soaw.org/soam.html [dead link; material available through Archive.org:]

We thank him, turn to him, ask his forgiveness, and seek refuge in him from our wicked souls and bad deeds. Whomever Allah enlightens will not be misguided, and the deceiver will never be guided. I declare that there is no god but Allah alone; he has no partners. I a l s o declare that Mohammed is his servant and prophet. [Koranic verses]: "O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam" "O mankind! Fear your guardian lord who created you from a single person. Created, out of it, his mate, and from them twain scattered [like seeds] countless men and women; fear Allah,through whom ye demand your mutual [rights], and be heedful of the wombs [that bore you]: for Allah ever watches over you." "O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and make your utterance straight forward: That he may make your conduct whole and sound and forgive you your sins. He that obeys Allah and his messenger, has already attained the great victory." Afterward,
The most truthful saying is the book of Allah and the best guidance is that
of Mohammed, God bless and keep him. [Therefore,]the worst thing is to introduce
something new, for every novelty is an act of heresy and each heresy is a
deception. Martyrs were killed, women were widowed, children were orphaned, men were handcuffed, chaste women's heads were shaved, harlots' heads were crowned, atrocities were inflicted on the innocent, gifts were given to the wicked, virgins were raped on the prostitution alter... After the fall of our orthodox caliphates on March 3, 1924 and after expelling the colonialists, our Islamic nation was afflicted with apostate rulers who took over in the Moslem nation. These rulers turned out to be more infidel and criminal than the colonialists themselves. Moslems have endured all kinds of harm, oppression, and torture at their hands.
Those apostate rulers threw thousands of the Haraka Al-Islamyia (Islamic
Movement) youth in gloomy jails and detention centers that were equipped
with the most modern torture devices and [manned with] experts in oppression
and torture. Those youth had refused to move in the rulers' orbit, obscure
matters to the youth, and oppose the idea of rebelling against the rulers.
But they [the rulers] did not stop there; they started to fragment the essence
of the Islamic nation by trying to eradicate its Moslem identity. Thus, they
started spreading godless and atheistic views among the youth. We found some
that claimed that socialism was from Islam, democracy was the [religious]
council, and the prophet-God bless and keep him-propagandized communism.
Colonialism and its followers, the apostate rulers, then started to openly
erect crusader centers, societies, and organizations like Masonic Lodges,
Lions and Rotary clubs, and foreign schools. They aimed at producing a wasted
generation that pursued everything that is western and produced rulers,
ministers, leaders, physicians, engineers, businessmen, politicians, journalists,
and information specialists. [Koranic verse:] "And Allah's enemies plotted
and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah." UK/BM-8 TRANSLATION They [the rulers] tried, using every means and [kind of] seduction, to produce a generation of young men that did not know [anything] except what they [the rulers] want, did not say except what they [the rulers] think about, did not live except according to their [the rulers') way, and did not dress except in their [the rulers'] clothes. However, majestic Allah turned their deception back on them, as a large group of those young men who were raised by them [the rulers] woke up from their sleep and returned to Allah, regretting and repenting. The young men returning to Allah realized that Islam is not just performing rituals but a complete system: Religion and government, worship and Jihad [holy war], ethics and dealing with people, and the Koran and sword. The bitter situation that the nation has reached is a result of its divergence from Allah's course and his righteous law for all places and times. That [bitter situation] came about as a result of its children's love for the world, their loathing of death, and their abandonment of Jihad [holy war]. Unbelief is still the same. It pushed Abou Jahl- may Allah curse him-and Kureish's valiant infidels to battle the prophet - God bless and keep him - and to torture his companions - may Allah's grace be on them. It is the same unbelief that drove Sadat, Hosni Mubarak, Gadhafi, Hafez Assad, Saleh, Fahed -Allah's curse be upon the non-believing leaders - and all the apostate Arab rulers to torture, kill, imprison, and torment Moslems. These young men realized that an Islamic government would never be established except by the bomb and rifle. Islam does not coincide or make a truce with unbelief, but rather confronts it. The confrontation that Islam calls for with these godless and apostate regimes, does not know Socratic debates, Platonic ideals nor Aristotelian diplomacy. But it knows the dialogue of bullets, the ideals of assassination, bombing, and destruction, and the diplomacy of the cannon and machine-gun.
The young came to prepare themselves for Jihad [holy war], commanded by the
majestic Allah's order in the holy Koran. [Koranic verse:] "Against them
make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of
war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your
enemies, and others besides whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know."
UK/BM-9 TRANSLATION I present this humble effort to these young Moslem men who are pure, believing, and fighting for the cause of Allah. It is my contribution toward paving the road that leads to majestic Allah and establishes a caliphate according to the prophecy. According to Imam Ahmad’s account, the prophet - God bless and keep him - said,... [A few lines of Hadith verses, not translated]
GENERAL INTRODUCTION UK/BM-11 TRANSLATION 5. We cannot resist this state of ignorance unless we unite our ranks, and adhere to our religion. Without that, the establishment of religion would be a dream or illusion that is impassible to achieve or even imagine its achievement. Sheik Ibn Taimia - may Allah have mercy on him - said, "The interests of all Adam's children would not be realized in the present life, nor in the next, except through assembly, cooperation, and mutual assistance. Cooperation is for achieving their interests and mutual assistance is for overcoming their adversities. That is why it has been said, 'man is civilized by nature.' Therefore, if they unite there will be favorable matters that they do, and corrupting matters to avoid. They will be obedient to the commandment of those goals and avoidant of those immoralities. It is necessary that all Adam's children obey." He [Sheik Inb Taimia] then says, "It should be understood that governing the people's affairs is one of the greatest religious obligations. In fact, without it, religion and world [affairs] could not be established. The interests of Adam's children would not be achieved except in assembly, because of their mutual need. When they assemble, it is necessary to [have] a leader. Allah's prophet - God bless and keep him - even said, 'If three [people] come together let them pick a leader.' He then necessitated the rule by one of a small, non-essential travel assembly in order to draw attention to the remaining types of assembly. Since Allah has obligated us to do good and avoid the unlawful, that would not be done except through force and lording. Likewise, the rest of what he [God] obligated [us with] would not be accomplished except by force and lordship, be it Jihad [holy war], justice, pilgrimage, assembly, holidays, support of the oppressed, or the establishment of boundaries. That is why it has been said, "the sultan is Allah's shadow on earth.1" ____________________ 1 The book "Tharwat Al-Sinam Fe Al-Ta'at wa Al-Nizam," by Ibrahim Al-Masri, copying from Al-Fannawi Ibn Taimi's collection, 28-380. UK/BM-12 TRANSLATION Principles of Military Organization: Military Organization has three main principles without which it cannot be established. 1. Military Organization commander and advisory council 2. The soldiers (individual members) 3. A clearly defined strategy Military Organization Requirements: The Military Organization dictates a number of requirements to assist it in confrontation and endurance. These are: 1. Forged documents and counterfeit currency Missions Required of the Military Organization: The main mission for which the Military Organization is responsible is: The overthrow of the godless regimes and their replacement with an Islamic regime. Other missions consist of the following: 1. Gathering information about the enemy, the land, the installations, and the neighbors. UK/BM-13 TRANSLATION Importance of the Military Organization: 1. Removal of those personalities that block the call's path. [A different handwriting:] All types of military and civilian intellectuals and thinkers for the state. NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS
FOR THE ORGANIZATION’S MEMBERS UK/BM-15 TRANSLATION Necessary Qualifications for the Organization’s members 1. Islam: The member of the Organization must be Moslem. How can an unbeliever, someone from a revealed religion [Christian, Jew], a secular person, a communist, etc. protect Islam and Moslems and defend their goals and secrets when he does not believe in that religion [Islam]? The Israeli Army requires that a fighter be of the Jewish religion. Likewise, the command leadership in the Afghan and Russian armies requires any one with an officer’s position to be a member of the communist party. 2. Commitment to the Organization’s Ideology: This commitment frees the Organization’s members from conceptional problems. 3. Maturity: The requirements of military work are numerous, and a minor cannot perform them. The nature of hard and continuous work in dangerous conditions requires a great deal of psychological, mental, and intellectual fitness, which are not usually found in a minor. It is reported that Ibn Omar - may Allah be pleased with him - said, “During Ahad [battle] when I was fourteen years of age, I was submitted [as a volunteer] to the prophet - God bless and keep him. He refused me and did not throw me in the battle. During Khandak [trench] Day [battle] when I was fifteen years of age, I was also submitted to him, and he permitted me [to fight]. 4. Sacrifice: He [the member] has to be willing to do the work and undergo martyrdom for the purpose of achieving the goal and establishing the religion of majestic Allah on earth. 5. Listening and Obedience:
In the military, this is known today as discipline. It is expressed by how
the member obeys the orders given to him. That is what our religion urges.
The Glorious says, “O, ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger
and those charged with authority among you.” In the story of Hazifa
Ben Al-Yaman - may Allah have mercy on him - who was exemplary in his obedience
to Allah’s messenger - Allah bless and keep him. When he [Mohammed]
- Allah bless and keep him - sent him to spy on the Kureish and their allies
during their siege of Madina, Hazifa said, “As he [Mohammed] called
me by name to stand, he said, ‘Go get me information about those people
and do not alarm them about me.’ UK/BM-16 TRANSLATION As I departed, I saw Abou Soufian and I placed an arrow in the bow. I [then] remembered the words of the messenger -Allah bless and keep him - 'do not alarm them about me.' If I had shot I would have hit him." 6. Keeping Secrets and Concealing Information [This secrecy should be used] even with the closest people, for deceiving the enemies is not easy. Allah says, "Even though their plots were such that as to shake the hills! [Koranic verse]." Allah's messenger - God bless and keep him - says, "Seek Allah's help in doing your affairs in secrecy.” It was said in the proverbs, "The hearts of free men are the tombs of secrets" and "Moslems' secrecy is faithfulness, and talking about it is faithlessness." [Mohammed] - God bless and keep him - used to keep work secrets from the closest people, even from his wife A'isha- may Allah's grace be on her. 7. Free of Illness The Military Organization's member must fulfill this important requirement. Allah says, "There is no blame for those who are infirm, or ill, or who have no resources to spend.” 8. Patience [The member] should have plenty of patience for [enduring] afflictions if he is overcome by the enemies. He should not abandon this great path and sell himself and his religion to the enemies for his freedom. He should be patient in performing the work, even if it lasts a long time. 9. Tranquility and "Unflappability" [The member] should have a calm personality that allows him to endure psychological traumas such as those involving bloodshed, murder, arrest, imprisonment, and reverse psychological traumas such as killing one or all of his Organization's comrades. [He should be able] to carry out the work. 10. Intelligence and Insight
When the prophet - Allah bless and keep him - sent Hazifa Ben Al-Yaman to
spy on the polytheist and [Hafiza] sat among them, Abou Soufian said, "Let
each one of you look at his companion." Hazifa said to his companion, 'Who
are you?" The companion replied, “So-and-so son of so-and-so.” UK/BM-17 TRANSLATION In World War I, the German spy, Julius Seelber [PH] managed to enter Britain and work as a mail examiner due to the many languages he had mastered. From the letters, he succeeded in obtaining important information and sent it to the Germans. One of the letters that he checked was from a lady who had written to her brother's friend in the fleet. She mentioned that her brother used to live with her until he was transferred to a secret project that involved commercial ships. When Seelber read that letter, he went to meet that young woman and blamed her for her loose tongue in talking about military secrets. He, skillfully, managed to draw out of her that her brother worked in a secret project for arming old commercial ships. These ships were to be used as decoys in the submarine war in such a way that they could come close to the submarines, as they appeared innocent. Suddenly, cannonballs would be fired from the ships's hidden cannons on top of the ships, which would destroy the submarines. 48 hours later that secret was handed to the Germans. 11. Caution and Prudence
In his battle against the king of Tomedia [PH], the Roman general Speer [PH]
sent an emissary to discuss with that king the matter of truce between the
two armies. In reality, he had sent him to learn about the Tomedians' ability
to fight. The general picked, Lilius [PH], one of his top commanders, for
that task and sent with him some of his officers, disguised as slaves. During
that mission, one of the king's officers, Sifax [PH] pointed to one of the
[disguised] slaves and yelled, "That slave is a Roman officer I had met in
a neighboring city. He was wearing a Roman uniform." At that point, Lilius
used a clever trick and managed to divert the attention of the Tomedians
from that by turning to the disguised officer and quickly slapping him on
the face a number of times. He reprimanded him for wearing a Roman officer's
uniform when he was a slave and for claiming a status that he did not
deserve. UK/BM-18 TRANSLATION The officer accepted the slaps quietly. He bowed his head in humility and shame, as slaves do. Thus, Sifax men thought that officer was really a slave because they could not imagine that a Roman officer would accept these hits without defending himself. King Sifax prepared a big feast for Lilius and his entourage and placed them in a house far away from his camp so they could not learn about his fortifications. They [the Romans] made another clever trick on top of the first one. They freed one of their horses and started chasing him in and around the camp. After they learned about the extent of the fortifications they caught the horse and, as planned, managed to abort their mission about the truce agreement. Shortly after their return, the Roman general attacked King Sifax' camp and burned the fortifications. Sifax was forced to seek reconciliation. B. There was a secret agent who disguised himself as an American fur merchant. As the agent was playing cards aboard a boat with some passengers, one of the players asked him about his profession. He replied that he was a "fur merchant." The women showed interest [in him] and began asking the agent - the disguised fur merchant - many questions about the types and prices of fur. He mentioned fur price figures that amazed the women. They started avoiding and regarding him with suspicion, as though he were a thief, or crazy. 12. Truthfulness and Counsel
The Commander of the faithful, Omar Ibn Al-Khattab - may Allah be pleased
with him - asserted that this characteristic was vital in those who gather
information and work as spies against the Moslems' enemies. He [Omar] sent
a letter to Saad Ibn Abou Wakkas - may Allah be pleased with him - saying,
“If you step foot on your enemies' land, get spies on them. Choose those
whom you count on for their truthfulness and advice, whether Arabs or inhabitants
of that land. Liars' accounts would not benefit you, even if some of them
were true; the deceiver is a spy against you and not for you. UK/BM-19 TRANSLATION 13. Ability to Observe and Analyze The Israeli Mossad received news that some Palestinians were going to attack an Israeli El Al airplane. That plane was going to Rome with Golda Meir - Allah's curse upon her - the Prime Minister at the time, on board. The Palestinians had managed to use a clever trick that allowed them to wait for the arrival of the plane without being questioned by anyone. They had beaten a man who sold potatoes, kidnaped him, and hidden him. They made two holes in the top of that peddler's cart and placed two tubes next to the chimney through which two Russian-made "Strella" [PH]missiles could be launched. The Mossad officers traveled the airport back and forth looking for that lead them to the Palestinians. One officer passed the potato cart twice without noticing anything. On his third time, he noticed three chimneys, but only one of them was working with spoke coming out of it. He quickly steered toward the cart and hit it hard. The cart overturned, and the Palestinians were captured.1 ____________________ 1. This story is found in the book A'n Tarik Al-Khida' "By Way of Deception Methods," by Victor Ostrovsky [PH]. The author claims that the Mossad wants to kill him for writing that book. However, I believe that the book was authorized by the Israeli Mossad. 14. Ability to Act, Change Positions and Conceal Oneself a. [An example] is what Noaim Ibn Masoud had done in his mission to cause agitation among the tribes of Koraish, those of Ghatfan, and the Jews of Koreitha. He would control his reactions and managed to skillfully play his role. Without showing signs of inconsistency, he would show his interest and zeal towards the Jews one time and show his concern about the Koraish at another. |
UK/BM-20 TRANSLATION fluently. It was later discovered that the colonel was a Soviet spy who was planted in the United States. He had fought in Korea in order to conceal his true identity and to gather information and critical secrets. If not for the collision, no one would have suspected or confronted him.
COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY AND FORGED DOCUMENTS UK/BM-22 TRANSLATION Financial Security Precautions: 1. Dividing operational funds into two parts: One part is to be invested in projects that offer financial return, and the other is to be saved and not spent except during operations. Forged Documents (Identity Cards, Records Books, Passports) The following security precautions should be taken: 1. Keeping the passport in a safe place so it would not be seized by the security apparatus, and the brother it belongs to would have to negotiate its return (I'll give you your passport if you give me information)
UK/BM-23 TRANSLATION 7. The validity of the falsified travel documents should always be confirmed. Security Precautions Related to the Organizations’ Given Names: 1. The name given by the Organization [to the brother] should not be odd in comparison with other names used around him. Organization MILITARY BASES
"APARTMENTS PLACES" - HIDING UK/BM-25 TRANSLATION Definition of Bases: * These are apartments, hiding places, command centers, etc. in which secret operations are executed against the enemy. These bases may be in cities, and are [then] called homes or apartments. They may be in mountainous, harsh terrain far from the enemy, and are [then] called hiding places or bases. During the initial stages, the Military Organization usually uses apartments in cities as places for launching assigned missions, such as collecting information, observing members of the ruling regime, etc. Hiding places and bases in mountains and harsh terrain are used at later stages, from which Jihad [holy war] groups are dispatched to execute assassination operations of enemy individuals, bomb their centers, and capture their weapons. In some Arab countries such as Egypt, where there are no mountains or harsh terrain, all stages of Jihad work would take place in cities. The opposite was true in Afghanistan, where initially Jihad work was in the cities, then the warriors shifted to mountains and harsh terrain. There, they started battling the Communists. Security Precautions Related to Apartments: 1. Choosing the apartment carefully as far as the location, the size for the work necessary (meetings,storage, arms, fugitives, work preparation). UK/BM-26 TRANSLATION 5. Under no circumstances should any one know about the apartment except those who use it. UK/BM-27 TRANSLATION 16. If there is a telephone in the apartment, calls should be answered in an agreed-upon manner among those who use the apartment. That would prevent mistakes that would, otherwise, lead to revealing the names and nature of the occupants. UK/BM-28 TRANSLATION
MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION UK/BM-29 TRANSLATION In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate Means of Transportation Introduction: It is well known that in undercover operations, communication is the mainstay of the movement for rapid accomplishment. However, it is a double-edged sword: It can be to our advantage if we use it well and it can be a knife dug into our back if we do not consider and take the necessary security measures. Communication Means: The Military Organization in any Islamic group can, with its modest capabilities, use the following means: 1. The telephone, 2. Meeting in-person, 3. Messenger, 4 . Letters, 5. Some modern devices, such as the facsimile and wireless [communication]. Communication may be within the county, state, or even the country, in which case it is called local communication. When it extends expanded between countries, it is then called international communication. Secret Communication is Limited to the Following Types: Common, standby, alarm 1. Common Communication: It is a communication between two members of the Organization without being monitored by the security apparatus opposing the Organization. The common communication should be done under a certain cover and after inspecting the surveillance situation [by the enemy]. UK/BM-30 TRANSLATION and the Organization's members are hidden from the security personnel. Method of Communication Among Members of the Organization: 1. Communication about undercover activity should be done using a good cover; it should also be quick, explicit, and pertinent. That is, just for talking only. First Means: The Telephone: Because of significant technological advances, security measures for monitoring the telephone and broadcasting equipment have increased. Monitoring may be done by installing a secondary line or wireless broadcasting device on a telephone that relays the calls to a remote location...That is why the Organization takes security measures among its members who use this means of communication (the telephone). 1. Communication should be carried out from public places. One should select telephones that are less suspicious to the security apparatus and are more difficult to monitor. It is preferable to use telephones in booths and on main streets. UK/BM-31 TRANSLATION 2. Conversation should be coded or in general terms so as not to alert the person monitoring [the telephone]. UK/BM-32 TRANSLATION 10. If the Organization manages to obtain jamming devices, it should use them immediately. Second Means: Meeting in-person: This is direct communication between the commander and a member of the Organization. During the meeting the following are accomplished: 1. Information exchange, 2. Giving orders and instructions, 3 . Financing, 4. Member follow-up Stages of the In-Person Meeting: A. Before the meeting, B. The meeting [itself], C. After the meeting A. Before the Meeting: The following measures should be taken: 1. Designating the meeting location, 1. Identifying the meeting location: If the meeting location is stationary, the following matters should be observed: i. The location should be far from police stations and security centers. UK/BM-33 TRANSLATION vi. The location should not be under suspicion (by the security [apparatus]) If the meeting location is not stationary, the following matters should be observed: i. The meeting location should be at the intersection of a large number of main and side streets to facilitate entry, exit, and escape. Those who meet in-person should do the following: i. Verifying the security situation of the location before the meeting. UK/BM-34 TRANSLATION ii. Ensuring that there are no security personnel behind them or at the meeting place. 2. Finding a proper cover for the meeting: [The cover] i. should blend well with the nature of the location. 3. Specifying the Meeting Date and Time: i. Specifying the hour of the meeting as well as the date. UK/BM-35 TRANSLATION ii. Specifying the time of both parties' arrival ana the time of the first party's departure. 4. Designating special signals between those who meet If the two individuals meeting know one another's shape and appearance, it is sufficient to use a single safety sign. [In that case,] the sitting and arriving individuals inform each other that there is no enemy surveillance. The sign may be keys, beads, a newspaper, or a scarf. The two parties would agree on moving it in a special way so as not to attract the attention of those present. If the two individuals do not know one another, they should do the following: a. The initial sign for becoming acquainted may be that both of them wear a certain type of clothing or carry a certain item. These signs should be appropriate for the place, easily identified, and meet the purpose. The initial sign for becoming acquainted does not [fully] identify one person by another. It does that at a rate of 30%.
would reply through signals to inform the first that he is not being monitored. The signals are agreed upon previously and should not cause suspicion. c. B. The Stage of the Meeting [itself]: The following measures should be taken: 1. Caution during the meeting. C. After the Meeting: The following measures should be taken: 1. Not departing together, but each one separately. Meeting in-person has disadvantages, such as: 1. Allowing the enemy to capture those who are meeting. UK/BM-37 TRANSLATION 3. Revealing the appearance of the commander to the other person. However, that may be avoided by taking the previously mentioned measures such as disguising himself well and changing his appearance (glasses, wig, etc.) Third Means: The Messenger: This is an intermediary between the sender and the receiver. The messenger should possess all characteristics mentioned in the first chapter regarding the Military Organization’s member. These are the security measures that a messenger should take: 1. Knowledge of the person to whom he will deliver the message. Fourth Means: Letters:
This means (letters)may be used as a method of communication UK/BM-38 TRANSLATION between members and the Organization provided that the following security measures are taken: 1. It is forbidden to write any secret information in the letter. If one must do so, the writing should be done in general terms. Fifth Means: Facsimile and Wireless:
Considering its modest capabilities and the pursuit by the security apparatus
of its members and forces, the Islamic UK/BM-39 TRANSLATION Military Organization cannot obtain theses devices. In case the Organization is able to obtain them, firm security measures should be taken to secure communication between the members in the country and the command outside. These measures are: 1. The duration of transmission should not exceed five minutes in order to prevent the enemy from pinpointing the device location. Transportation Means: The members of the Organization may move from one location to another using one of the following means:
a. Public transportation, b. Private transportation UK/BM-40 TRANSLATION Security Measures that Should be Observed in Public Transportation: 1. One should select public transportation that is not subject to frequent checking along the way, such as crowded trains or public buses. |
