Al-Qaeda Fighters On Attacks Against Americans | |
2003-10-20 | |
From MEMRI. Part of the vid was on Fox News this evening... A few weeks ago, Al-Qaeda's website declared it would publish the wills of the May 12, 2003 suicide bombers in Riyadh. A couple of days ago it released a new videotape which includes an audio recording of the actual attack as was apparently transmitted through a cell phone, excerpts from past speeches by Osama bin Laden, songs of incitement, a speech by Sheikh Abu Omar Muhammad Al-Seif, and the wills of the attackers, reportedly recorded on April 29, 2003, less than two weeks before the attacks. The following are excerpts from statements by Hazem Al-Kashmiri and Muhammad bin Abd Al-Wahhab Al-Maqit which were recorded in English. To view these English excerpts, go to: http://www.memri.org/video/alqaida. You will need Real Player to view the video. The film was produced by the Sahhab Institute, which has produced past Al-Qaeda films, including wills of two September 11 hijackers. Two of the attackers who read their wills in the current film (Hazem Al-Kashmiri, also known as "Abu Umar Al-Taifi" and Muhammad bin Abd Al-Wahhab Al-Maqit), address an English message to "the American soldiers" and to "the West." Al-Kashmiri introduces himself as the son of a retired high-ranking officer in the Saudi domestic intelligence apparatus, General Muhammad Said Abdallah Al-Kashmiri. Another member of the cell, Ashraf Al-Said, calls on Saudi pilots to attack American aircraft carriers or American "settlements" in the Arabian peninsula and urges members of the Saudi military "to kill Americans." Hazem Al-Kashmiri: For the American soldiers, we say you have to know that your government has become a big evil killing innocent people, destroying homes, stealing our money and holding our sons in jail. We promise that we will not let you live safely and you will not see from us anything else — just bombs, fire, destroying homes, cutting your heads. Our Mujahideen is coming to you very soon to let you see what you didn't see before."

#1 Fred - Outstanding commentary... Absolutely sums up my expectations and accurately describes what they will do if the "really lucky" option occurs. Sadly, however, they are industriously stumbling toward that "unlucky" option. Ironically, if it weren't for their cherished traditions of chaos and incompetence, our troopers wouldn't have time to complain to press parasites and munitions production would be peaking now. And you're absolutely right - we would feel really bad, later, after it was over. A classic case of "suicide by cop" on a global scale. |
