N2  - In 2005, al-Qa`ida’s one-time security chief Saif al-`Adl
chronicled a key period in the Islamic State’s origin story—the
initial engagement between Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
and Usama bin Ladin in 1999. His history, which describes
al-Qa`ida agreeing to help al-Zarqawi establish a
training camp near Herat without demanding al-Zarqawi
swear allegiance to bin Ladin, is a seminal text in our understanding
of the Islamic State’s history. But how reliable
is the story? Even though most analysts believe the
account was genuinely written by al-`Adl, bin Ladin was so
unhappy with its contents he called it a fraud. And newly
available jihadist documents suggest al-Qa`ida’s rationale
for supporting al-Zarqawi was more complex and more
Machiavellian than al-`Adl, or bin Ladin, ever admitted
