You are an intelligence analyst for the Department of Homeland Security assigned to the Office of Intelligence
and Analysis (DHS-OIA). You are currently working in the Special Events Unit and are responsible for
producing an intelligence assessment outlining potential threats to the upcoming United Nations General
Assembly (UNGA) meeting that is to take place in New York City 2 months from now. As a result of the
collection plan you recently developed, you have just received the following source reporting from a HUMINT
source. This source has reported information in the past and is deemed reliable. The source had direct access
to the reported information by virtue of his normal daily activities:
Source recently met with an individual by the name of Adnan Last Name Unknown, an Albanian national and
suspected member of AKA, residing in New Jersey. According to Source, Adnan explained a scheme by which
he traffics MDMA (ecstasy) tablets acquired in Elbasan, Albania into the United States. Adnan traveled to
Elbasan, Albania four times last year. Adnan has been able to acquire ecstasy tablets at a wholesale price of
$1 per tablet. Adnan purchased $10,000 worth of ecstasy tablets per trip. Adnan then purchased 25 bags of
coffee beans packaged in foil wrappers. The coffee bean packages were opened, and the ecstasy tablets were
comingled, 400 tablets per bag, with the coffee beans, and the foil wrappers are then resealed. The coffee
bags are placed in his luggage. Adnan stated that he has had no problem smuggling the ecstasy into the

United States using this method, and he stated that his associates, also Albanian nationals, have successfully
smuggled ecstasy tablets into the United States for Adnan using this same method approximately three to four
times per year. Adnan has a connection in New York, NY who buys the ecstasy tablets for $5 per tablet.
Source reported that several AKA members in the New York area were planning to conduct an operation
during an upcoming major event that is scheduled to take place sometime in the next couple of months. Source
was not clear what event they were referring to but stated that it was something “the whole world” would be
watching. Source stated that the operation would include the use of suicide bombers disguised as guests of the
event. Source also stated that other AKA operatives would be positioned near the venue to set off some sort of
chemical device within the subway system for those trying to evacuate the scene. Source stated that an
identified U.S. citizen named Randolph King recently established a group he referred to as AKA-NY as a local
branch of the terrorist group AKA. King has been in contact with alleged AKA member Alek Alothman, who
lives in New Jersey, and other unidentified AKA affiliates throughout the United States, including AKA
commander Zameer Rayani. King hopes to obtain the names and contact information of other group members.
King plans on promoting his new group through a Web site and hopes to also sell T-shirts and hats with the
group’s logo on them to raise money. Source stated that AKA has become more aggressive in its campaign
against the government of Albania. AKA has gone beyond its efforts of attacking government assets within
Albanian borders, and it is looking to target the Albanian government on a larger scale. According to the
source, AKA is looking to embarrass the Albanian government and to make it look weak in front of the world.
Source stated that AKA members from Albania are being sponsored by a New York–based company called AlAkzam World for those individuals to obtain H1-B visas to enter the United States. Once the AKA members
receive sponsorship, they can apply for the H1-B visa, which will allow them to enter the United States for a
period of up to 1 year. Although they are supposed to be coming to work for this company, most of the
members do not. According to the source, these members only use the company to get into the United States
and then go their separate ways. In fact, most overstay the terms of their visa and never leave.
