The Mujahideen Explosives Handbook

This book is part of the Encyclopedia Jihad, collected and distributed by the with the help of other
Islamic jihad organizations and individuals. The aim is to further the military/political/etc.
preparations, skills and knowledge of Mujahideen the world over.
The original idea came when I was in Afghanistan and came across an Encyclopedia of War
which the Arab Mujahideen had written under the instruction of the late Sheikh Abdullah
Azzam (shaheed inshallah). The encyclopedia consisted of approximately 11 volumes on a
variety of military skills ranging from weapons to unarmed combat to explosives. The original
Afghan-Arab encyclopedia of war was written in entirely in Arabic and weighed
approximately 20kg, thereby limiting it’s distribution and readership enormously.
It is hoped the Encyclopedia Jihad will not only further that idea, but also build on it by
bettering the quality and quantity of information available. Furthermore, by utilizing modern
computer communication methods, the encyclopedia will inshallah be distributed the world
over; continuously being updated.
Readers are encouraged to help in this endeavor. Don’t just benefit from it!
As payment for this book, a contribution of one book which would add to the value of the
Encyclopedia Jihad is requested. Instruction on how to do this is provided later on. Please do
not ignore this request.
The Encyclopedia Jihad is just one of our projects, and thus reserves only a limited time from
us. Time is restricted further as we have to work to feed our families and do not get financial
assistance from governments agencies, like our opponents do. Furthermore, we frequently
have to leave our homes for undefined periods to fulfill other projects, further reducing our
time. If readers do not contribute, then expansion of this encyclopedia will be very slow.
Inshallah, you will be blessed for your contributions.
