His published works '' " Chechen Jihad : Al Qaeda 's Training Ground and the Next Wave of Terror " '' and '' " The High Cost of Peace : How Washington 's Middle East Policy Left America Vulnerable to Terrorism " '' also do not contain any footnotes and documentation . For this reason it is difficult to separate facts from fiction , rumor and opinion in his works . For example , in '' Chechen Jihad '' he states that the November 12th , 2001 crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in New York was caused by a " Canadian terrorist " . No authoritative citation for this claim is given
