Duranta Camp
• MILITARY BASES
The Al-Badr I base in Jalalabad
[34°25'00"N 70°27'00"E] is about 120
kilometers east of Kabul.
The Tora Bora base near Jalalabad was
rebuilt on the site of a camp first
constructed by the US Central
Intelligence Agency in the early 1980s.
According to one report, bin Ladin's
"Abu Khabab" camp is focused on
development and training with
chemicals, poisons and other toxins.
This camp is named after the Egyptian
who runs it, Midhat Mursi — who uses
the name Abu Khabab. The camp,
about eight miles from Jalalabad, is part
of a complex of training sites known as
Darunta [34°28'00"N 70°22'00"E], after
a nearby stone dam.
