User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/Other alleged training camps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guantanamo captives alleged attendance at training camps.

What this is...[edit]

This is not an article.

This userspace page contains rough notes to support wikipedia articles on training camps that WP:RS assert had ties to terrorism.

Context[edit]

Indian intelligence estimated that the Taliban allowed militant groups to operate approximately one hundred training camps in Afghanistan. Some of the there were run by the al Qaeda.[1] Some were run by militant groups that were training forces to fight against their governments, in neighbouring countries -- like Uzbekistan. Others were apparently run by militant groups that were not subservient to al Qaeda, and weren't tied to nationalist groups.

How many camps did al Qaida run? Some sources estimate they operated over a dozen camps.

How many camps do OARDEC memos mention, where the memos explicitly state, or imply the camp was associated with the Taliban or al Qaida? Over three dozen.

A paper published by a group at the USMA at West Point identified a dozen camps in a table, and identified several dozen other camp where the memos only mentioned a couple of alleged trainees.

Some memos identified camps ran by the Taliban itself.

List of training camps allegedly tied to terrorism[edit]

I had some separate userspace page, each devoted to a single camp. Some of these had been in article space. I either moved them to userspace on my own initiative, of asked for them to be userified, after they were deleted.

I plan to amalgamate a list of all the less notable camps, here.

In the {{afd}} of those former articles that had been deleted following an {{afd}}, many of those voicing a delete stated that a single article could handle all the camps that had not received considerable specific coverage individually.
