Anas Abdullah Abdullah anas is an algerian politician in exile and former member of the mujahideen who fought alongside bin laden before falling out with the al qaeda leader over his plans for a global jihad. Born in the late 1950s, during the algerian war of independence, anas relates how the experiences of his family and fellow compatriots, alongside a religious education, fashioned him into both an anti colonialist and a devout muslim.
Abdullah Anas Hurst Abdullah anas with tam hussein, to the mountains: my life in jihad from algeria to afghanistan (hurst, 2019). anas still believes in defensive “jihad” in the sense of a morally just war. he is proud of his past as a mujahid fighting the soviet occupation of afghanistan. he also defends azzam. Following the united states invasion of afghanistan in 2001, anas gave reports critical of bin laden, reflecting the pair's falling out after anas insisted that the dream of a global jihad was unattainable. Can there be a good jihadist? the question haunts both books. anas offers a portrait of his comrade ahmed shah massoud, the afghan jihad’s napoleonic hero. Anas’s life changes dramatically after meeting azzam in mecca. he travels to pakistan and, about two months after that encounter, arrives in mazar i sharif in northern afghanistan to fight alongside the mujahideen against the democratic republic of afghanistan and the soviet red army.

As one of the earliest arabs to join the afghan jihad, the algerian islamist abdullah anas counted as brothers in arms the future icons of al qaeda’s global war, from abdullah azzam to osama bin laden, and befriended key afghan resistance leaders such as ahmad shah massoud. What anas touches on fleetingly, chris sands and fazelminallah qazizai explores with a critical eye in night letters: gulbuddin hekmatyar and the afghan islamist who changed the world (hurst). As one of the earliest arabs to join the afghan jihad, he counted as brothers in arms the future icons of al qaeda's global war: from abdullah azzam to osama bin laden to omar abdel rahman, and befriended key afghan jihadi figures such as gulbuddin hekmatyar and ahmed shah massoud, the lion of panshir. This is his story. co written with investigative journalist tam hussein, anas's memoir will doubtless become a seminal primary source on the rise of global jihadism.
