‘Al-Qaeda chief’ in Saudi calls followers to wage guerilla war | ||
2004-05-28 | ||
A statement purported to be from the Al-Qaeda chief in Saudi Arabia and posted on an Islamist website Thursday urged his followers to wage an urban guerrilla war of assassinations, kidnappings and bombings. The "execution group" or "strike force" in each four-tiered cell should be "trained to carry out operations inside cities, including assassinations, abductions, bombings, sabotage, raids and the liberation of hostages," said the statement attributed to Abdul Aziz al-Muqrin and posted on www.qal3ah.org.
In the statement, Muqrin said each guerilla cell should be composed of four groups: a field command, an intelligence-gathering group, a third assigned to prepare the equipment and groundwork for operations, and a fourth that would execute the attacks and would be made up of two to four members. "In a country which has no places suitable for action such as mountains and forests, one should suffice with urban forces and collaborators," the statement said. Islamist fighters "need a strong Islamic intelligence apparatus to confront the dangers surrounding clandestine action in cities," it said. The guerrillas in charge of preparing operations should include people "with links to the mafia or other smugglers, because the latter have experience and can be very useful," the statement said. | ||
