From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A terrorist training camp, or terror camp, is a training camp whose purpose is to teach students methods of terrorism. Terrorists train there to launch attacks, ranging from suicide bombing technology training to field combat. They are often located in regions where there is local support or tolerance for the aims of those conducting the training, or where such training can be camouflaged. The most famous are those in Pakistan, Afghanistan and the US. Terrorist training camps have also operated in the Netherlands^[1] and in Lebanon and Syria.^{[2] [3] [4]}. Use of parks ^[5] and wilderness areas ^[6] is common.
