Jump To Comment: 1Osama's recruits well schooled
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/printpage/0,5942,12742245,00.html
The typical recruit to al-Qa'ida is Western-educated and has a wealthy, professional background, according to a new study.
The analysis of 500 members of Osama bin Laden's organisation has turned Western experts' presumptions about al-Qa'ida upside down.
Marc Sageman, a forensic psychiatrist who conducted the study, said he assumed it would find that most recruits were poor and ill-educated.
"The common stereotype is that terrorism is a product of poor, desperate, naive, single young men from Third World countries, vulnerable to brainwashing and recruitment into terror," he said.
However, his study showed 75 per cent of the al-Qa'ida members were from upper-middle-class homes and that many were married with children; 60 were college-educated, often in Europe or the US.
