Cover of the "The Manchester Manual" -- also known as the "the Jihadi encyclopedia".

The Manchester Manual (also known as the Jihadist encyclopedia) is a document prepared in the late 1990s, that western counter-terrorism analysts have described as a manual for terrorism.[1][2]

Spokesmen for the Bush Presidency, and the United States Department of Defense attribute the unwillingness of the captives held in extrajudicial detention in Guantanamo to their training from this document.[1] They say that the document tells its readers to lie about their identities, to lie about being tortured.
