IntelCenter GUIDANCE ON DATING/CLASSIFYING AL-QAEDA AUDIO/VIDEO STATEMENTS When attempting to date new al-Qaeda audio/video statements there are multiple dates that carry different significance depending upon the issue at hand. In the case of direct statements such as those frequently seen coming from Osama bin Laden and Ayman alZawahiri there are always three key dates pertaining to any release. The three dates are: 1) RELEASE DATE: This is the date the video is aired by the media or it goes into release on the Internet or VCD form. In some cases this needs to be qualified with the date the material was actually made available to the media outlet. Typically the date the material is received and the date the material is aired are within two days of each other. In most cases the air date is considered to be the most significant date when evaluating the timing of threat statements and possible correlations to attacks. 2) PRODUCTION DATE: This is the date actually written by al-Qaeda on the material itself and generally reflects when the finished product was completed. On video material it typically appears on one of the intro title screens. On audio material it may not be spoken in the beginning but might be included in the file annotations or will often appear in a written transcript that is frequently released simultaneously with the audio file. There is typically a gap of between a few weeks to more than a month between the Release Date and the Production Date. The gap is reflective of the time it takes for the material to get from where it was produced to the release channel, be it the Internet or a media outlet. 3) RECORDING DATE: This would be the date that the actual statement was recorded. In other words, the day that Osama bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri sat down and made the recording. Depending upon the production qualities this could be the same as the Production Date or may be weeks or more before, presuming the Production Date is set to _______________________________________________________________________ Voice: (703) 370-2962 Fax: (703) 370-1571 Email: [email protected] Web: www.intelcenter.com PO Box 22572, Alexandria, VA 22304-9257 USA Page 3 of 22 – al-Qaeda Timeline v8.0 – 22 July 2010 Copyright © 2010 IntelCenter/Tempest Publishing, LLC All Rights Reserved FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

IntelCenter when it is completed and not set against the Recording Date in which case they would always be one in the same. In the case of an audio recording where not much post work needs to be completed these dates are likely to be very close together. The higher the production value for video material the greater the gap. For example, an al-Zawahiri video that has English subtitles, new animation in the opening sequence and other effects entails days to weeks of work on powerful computers that increases the gap of time between when the material was recorded and when the final release was completed. Note on the "al-Qaeda Messaging/Attacks Timeline": The IntelCenter "al-Qaeda Messaging/Attacks Timeline" weighs the Release Date the heaviest followed by the Production Date and then the Recording Date. Additional relevant factors that impact the significance of the various dates are also factored in and weighed. The date that is determined to be the most significant is then the one used in the timeline. Note on dates as they pertain to other materials such as Produced Videos: When examining other types of video material such as Produced Videos other dates come into play as the material frequently includes a mix of both new and old material. Four Main Categories of al-Qaeda Releases: 1) New Release/New Material/New Recording (NNN) - material that is both recently recorded and never before released 2) New Release/New Material/Old Recording (NNO) - material that has never before been released but is from an old recording 3) New Release/Old Material/Old Recording (NOO) - material that has appeared in some form before but is being newly released by the group _______________________________________________________________________ Voice: (703) 370-2962 Fax: (703) 370-1571 Email: [email protected] Web: www.intelcenter.com PO Box 22572, Alexandria, VA 22304-9257 USA Page 4 of 22 – al-Qaeda Timeline v8.0 – 22 July 2010 Copyright © 2010 IntelCenter/Tempest Publishing, LLC All Rights Reserved FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
