Summary/Abstract: The need to know as many details as possible regarding terrorists’ psychological, physical and specialised training that is generated by terrorist groups’ intention of brain washing the new recruits and religiously indoctrinating based on models inspired by The Big Encyclopaedia of Jihad, The letter from an al-Qaeda member and How to withstand and to confront special services’ investigators requires now, more than ever, a special focus on understanding terrorist groups re-configuration and a new approach to antiterrorist fighters’ training. Al-Qaeda (“Qaidat al-Jihad”), after merging, in June 2001, with al-Jihad (the Egyptian Islamic Jihad), holds training bases spread over the South, South-East Asia and Middle East. Beside these bases, it is a well-known fact that the terrorist group is very active through its European cells called White al-Qaeda or “the terrorists with white skin”. This group reunites around 800 Bosnian Mujaheddin and its purpose is to expand al-Qaeda in Europe with the final aim of accomplishing the “Pan-Islamic Caliphate” worldwide.
