Al Qaeda in Afghanistan calls for foreign recruits | |
2008-03-07 | |
The leader of al Qaeda in Afghanistan has urged more Muslims to join and finance the group's war there, saying Western troops are close to defeat. "Your brothers in Afghanistan are waiting for you and longing to (welcome) you," Mustafa Abu al-Yazid said in an audio recording posted on an Islamist Web site. "The time for reaping the fruit of victory and empowerment has come ... The infidel enemy has been badly wounded at the hands of your brothers and is close to its demise so assist your brothers to slaughter him," added the militant leader, speaking with an Egyptian-sounding accent. U.S. and NATO troops are fighting a fierce insurgency by al Qaeda and its Taliban allies in Afghanistan. A top al Qaeda commander there was killed in a suspected U.S. missile strike in neighbouring Pakistan in January. In the recording, Abu al-Yazid said Muslim men must not look for permission from "apostate leaders" to join others fighting in countries such as Afghanistan, the Palestinian territories, Chechnya, Somalia, Algeria and Iraq.
Thousands of Arab Muslims, including Saudi-born Osama bin Laden, went to Afghanistan in the 1980s to help eject the troops of the former Soviet Union and then bring the Taliban to power. The United States led a coalition that invaded Afghanistan and toppled the Taliban after al Qaeda's Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. cities, when Taliban leaders refused to hand over bin Laden and his top lieutenants to Washington for trial. | |

#5 "Only a loser ... who ridicules himself, disobeys God, and loves the lower life would let jihad down," Ah...peer pressure. So truck on up to Afghanistan my Muzzie brother and be one of the cool kids. But probably not for long... |

#3 Bombing civilians and importing foreigners who stand out to the locals was so effective in Iraq. These guys must be following the socialist model of repeating the same mistakes over and over again, hoping for a different result. The United States led a coalition that invaded Afghanistan and toppled the Taliban after al Qaeda's Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. cities, when Taliban leaders refused to hand over bin Laden and his top lieutenants to Washington for trial. Given what we've seen so far in Lawfare, outside of an open admission [which they were kind enough to do post facto on film], they'd likely have beat the rap in some Federal Court ably assisted by the same elements in the legal community that have participating in fighting America to date. |
