Scenes from AQIM's "Martyr Abu Ibrahim Mustafa"

Terrorist Training Camp in North Africa

By Evan Kohlmann

The NEFA Foundation has obtained video footage of lessons conducted by instructors from Al-Qaida's Committee in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) at the "Martyr Abu Ibrahim Mustafa" terrorist training camp. This is the second such video recording released by the AQIM in less than a month highlighting the existence of the Abu Ibrahim Mustafa camp, which is thought to be located somewhere within the borders of Algeria. AQIM recruits are shown in the video completing courses in physical calisthenics, weapons training, and advanced combat tactics.
