 Abdullah Azzam - The godfather of jihad. By Chris Suellentrop
Azzam proclaimed that any land that was once ruled by the Islamic caliphate, even if it were as small as the span of a person's hand, must be recaptured if it falls into the hands of infidels.
Azzam's dispute with the PLO foreshadowed a disagreement that developed between him and Bin Laden in the late 1980s.
Already, Azzam had helped to establish Hamas, and during the first intifada in 1987, Arafat's PLO was forced to co-opt Azzam's ideas and rhetoric when Hamas championed them.

 Azzam Azzam & Pollard - Victims of Absence of Israeli Planning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Azzam Azzam and Jonathan Pollard may be spending tonight in prison rather than with their loved ones thanks to the Sharon Administration's shoot-from-the-hip handling of American pressure leading up to the Aqaba Summit.
Neither Pollard nor Azzam Azzam have contributed to Sharon's campaign funds, so it is no surprise that their plights did not come to mind to Sharon's top advisor - son Omri.
Azzam Azzam and Pollard could have been freed with the United States still appreciating the sacrifice Israel made in releasing a murderer.

 Al-Qaeda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The role of the MAK was to channel funds from a variety of sources (including donations from across the Middle East) into training Mujahidin from around the world in guerrilla combat, and to transport the combatants to Afghanistan.
After Azzam was assassinated in 1989, the MAK split, with a significant number joining bin Laden's organization.
Fawaz A. Gerges writes that "Although in 1987 sheikh Abdullah Azzam, the spiritual father of the Afghan Arabs, planted the seeds of a transnationalist organization called 'Al Qaeda al-Sulbah' (the Solid Foundation), the bin Laden network saw the light much later, around the mid-1990s."

DEBKAfile - Mubarak Agrees to Free Azzam Azzam
Mubarak will not miss the chance of holding up this association and presenting Azzam's release as an Egyptian gesture toward the Druze faith at large, rather than a diplomatic concession toward Israel, its partner in a very chilly peace relationship.
Their agenda is expected to focus on Azzam's release rather than on Israel's evolving plan to pull out of the Gaza Strip.

This LP (Swedish Columbia 4E 062-34264) was recorded in August 1970 in Stockholm, Sweden, with Bob Azzam producing.
The album included a couple of re-recorded songs from the Finnish album and singles, along with a bunch of brilliant new material from mainly Jukka Tolonen, Groundstroem and Robson. Somewhere in the process EMI and/or Azzam lost their interest and the album was given virtually no promotion.
Too bad because I think it is their finest moment!
