Al-Qaeda urges suicide attacks in Somalia
2007-01-05
OSAMA bin Laden's top aide has urged Somali Islamists to launch an Iraq-style guerrilla campaign of suicide and other forms of attacks against Ethiopian forces in Somalia.

Ayman al-Zawahri put out the call in an audio tape posted on the internet today. "As happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, when the world's strongest power was defeated by the campaigns of the mujahideen troops going to heaven, so its slaves shall be defeated on the Muslim lands of Somalia," al-Zawahri said.

"You must ambush, mine, raid and (carry out) martryrdom campaigns so that you can wipe them out," said Zawahri, al-Qaeda's deputy leader.

The tape was posted on a web site used by Islamist militants and al-Qaeda-linked groups.
Ethiopian forces helped Somalia's interim government rout Islamists in a two-week war.

#5  Once again an islamist calls for others to be his dupes, being muslims they are more then happy. Any Black African who falls for this new form of slavery is doubly a fool.

#4  This is exactley what all the people (me included) have been saying all along, when they say "faster please". If they start going there, we can kill them faster, and they have less recruits to Iraq. Going there would help us more than any other one thing they could do.

#3  "Of course, as the supreme Imam of Mogadishu, I must avoid the "delights" of 72 virgins in paradise... However for each dupe er martyr I can convince of the delights of the 72 virgins, I can remain here on the earth, and "suffer", knowing what's under all those hot burkas... And, with all the young competition I have convinced to turn themselves into red goo splattered all over the place, there is less competition"

#2  ...and I'll be watching Al-Jiz on the dish from the Jihadi Suite of the Quetta Ritz, so I'll know if you're lying.
