The original file presents a distinction among several types of relationships:

1. Acquaintances/Distant family ties (interactions limited to radical organisation activities),

2. Friends/Moderately close family ties (interactions extend beyond radical organisations to include such categories as co-workers and roommates). Operational/Organisational leadership (i.e. JI leadership, formally or informally ranking members of burgeoning cells).Operational Ties (i.e. worked closely on a bombing together).

3. Close Friends/Family, Tight-knit operational cliques (would die for each other)

If one of these three types of relationships was present, it has been coded with 1.
