Specifically, individuals responsible for tenant selection, approval, and relations (particularly in newly developed areas) must be apprised of the operational patterns used by al-Qaeda operatives so that they will recognize behavior consistent with potential terrorist activities in the realm of property rental and use.
Travel Procedures and Transportation Security:
The al-Qaeda Training Manual includes considerable attention to the operational use of public transportation for travel and surveillance activities. Specifically, BM-40, Item #2 requires al-Qaeda operatives to use secondary rather than primary entrance and exit stations because they are less subject to electronic monitoring and law enforcement patrols. Similarly, BM-40, Item #5 instructs al-Qaeda operatives to separate themselves from their baggage by storing it in a different passenger compartment from that in which they ride. Both elements are consistent with later-published studies, such as by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) Intelligence Division (2007).
Both provisions provide valuable insight capable of assisting counterterrorism efforts with respect to identifying potential al-Qaeda operatives in transit on public transportation systems. More particularly, BM-40, Item #2 requires the inclusion of electronic surveillance...
The implication of BM-40, Item #5 is that public transportation authorities must be alerted to expected operational patterns outlined in this section to enable them to recognize behavioral patterns that are consistent with those of al-Qaeda operatives.
Conclusion:
By publicizing specific sections and briefing various private individuals and entities as to the implications of known al-Qaeda operational methods, counterterrorism strategists can enlist the assistance of the public in a manner that maximizes the value of the captured documents. Ultimately, the captured al-Qaeda Training Manual is especially useful because it increases the ability of ordinary American citizens to assist law enforcement and counterterrorism authorities recognize terrorist activity during their planning and preliminary operational stages.
