  • An Afghan training camp is a camp or facility used for militant training located in pre-2002 Afghanistan.[citation needed] At the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Indian intelligence officials estimated that there were over 120 training camps operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan, run by a variety of militant groups. In 2002 Journalists with the New York Times examined the sites of several former training camps, finding 5,000 documents. According to the New York Times: {| class="wikitable" border="1" | The documents show that the training camps, which the Bush administration has described as factories churning out terrorists, were instead focused largely on creating an army to support the Taliban, which was waging a long ground war against the Northern Alliance. |} In 2005 the New York Times published an article about camps that continued to function in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas. On July 25, 2007, scholars at the Combating Terrorism Center at the United States Military Academy published a study that named over two dozen training camps allegedly attended by Guantanamo captives.
