In the modern era, there is great convergence in the technologies used by friendly nations and by hostile ones. Signals intelligence agencies find themselves penetrating the technologies that they also at times must protect. To ease this tension, the United States and its partners have relied on an approach sometimes called Nobody But Us, or NOBUS: target communications mechanisms using unique methods accessible only to the United States. This paper examines how the NOBUS approach works, its limits, and the challenging matter of what comes next. Author:• Nov. 12, 2010 This publication is an extended excerpt from an upcoming research report by Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, a former senior CIA officer and now a senior fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School. Mowatt-Larssen's report examines the debate within Muslim societies on the use of weapons of mass destruction; he assesses the public justification by Al Qaeda leaders of the use of such weapons, and warns of a heightened risk of another Al Qaeda attack.

Mowatt-Larssen drew on the research from this section of his upcoming report for on Nov. 'This vanguard constitutes the solid base [qaeda in Arabic] for the hoped-for society.

We shall continue the jihad no matter how long the way, until the last breath and the last beat of the pulse-or until we see the Islamic state established.' — Abdullah Azzam When legendary jihadist Abdullah Azzam was assassinated under mysterious circumstances in November 1989, suspects in his murder included Osama bin Laden and Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) leader Ayman Zawahiri.

After the Soviets were expelled from Afghanistan, Azzam sought to shift jihad to his homeland, Palestine. Zawahiri sought to focus the jihad on Egypt and the other secular Muslim states, in hopes of restoring the caliphate, the rule of Islamic clerics, which had ended after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1924. After Islamic rule had been re-established in the Islamic world, Zawahiri wrote, 'then history would make a new turn, God willing, in the opposite direction against the empire of the United States and the world's Jewish government.' It is not clear who killed Azzam, but his departure from the scene played into Osama bin Laden's hands, by shifting the target of the jihad not to Israel or to Egypt, but to the United States. When bin Laden formed Al Qaeda a year earlier, Zawahiri was convinced to throw in his lot with this 'heaven-sent man,' as Azzam had characterized bin Laden, principally because Zawahiri felt stymied in fulfilling his lifelong dream of overthrowing the Egyptian regime. Bin Laden would develop an idea that would breathe life back into Zawahiri's dreams: the United States must become the target of the jihad. If the Americans could be provoked into war, they could be defeated like the Soviets, and expelled from Muslim lands for good.
