Regarding the "2003" guide to kidnapping Americans we note the following:

• MEMRI, 15 August 2007
• Jeremy Reynalds, 17 October 2002

The best information available to us suggests that this guide began as the two page thread at al-Mojahedoon. In addition, the first reports regarding the guide appeared on the website of the IDF.
