'The cars of death will not stop'
The following is an edited version of a statement purportedly from
a unit of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, Abu Hafz al-Masri Brigades.
It appeared today on an Islamist website, al-Mujahidoun, and was translated
from the Arabic by Reuters
Friday November 21, 2003
Statement from the Jihad al-Qaida "Operation Islamic Iron Hammer".
We mentioned and we promised in our earlier statement: "As for the
tails of America - especially Britain, Italy, Australia and Japan
- who did not understand what was said by mojahedin leader Sheikh
Osama bin Laden before Ramadan when he threatened that martyrdom operations
would not stop inside and outside America ... And if they do not understand
words then the cars of death will make them understand".
And we said: "The cars of death will not stop ... until Washington
concedes to the conditions of the mojahedin [Islamist fighters] ...
and here now are the cars of death reaping the [souls of the] allies
of the tyrant of the era every day ... and by the will of God, America
will soon look for someone to protect it from the mohahedin on its
soil.
In Turkey today, the vanguards of the Abu Hafz al-Masri Brigades targeted
the British consul, Roger Short, because of his extensive experience
in combatting Islam and because he is considered the mastermind of
British policy in the region comprising Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran.
Our cars of death struck the consulate building ... and by the grace
of God, he was killed.
As for the British bank headquarters, this is a bastion of the British
economy and let Britain and its people know that its alliance with
America will not bring it prosperity or security
We admit that the cars of death that targeted the British bank were
put in an inappropriate place, which caused some casualties among
innocents, and this pains us tremendously, but the media must share
our blame because we have repeatedly warned Muslims not to go anywhere
near the diplomatic, economic or military headquarters of America
and its allies; for our real war, which will begin soon, will have
no boundaries and will show no mercy towards the tyrant of the era
and his allies.
As for you Turkey, isn't it time you left the Crusader army and returned
to the Islamic nation? Isn't it time you withdrew your army from Afghanistan;
stopped all ties with the Zionists entity; stopped providing American
with soldiers for Iraq; left the Crusader Atlantic alliance? We consider
the government of Turkey as a first-class agent for America and therefore
it must choose - peace or America.
O Bush, what have you done to America and its allies ... where is
the security you promised them, where is the developed Afghanistan,
where is the free, secure Iraq?
By God Bush, you've fallen into a trap as we planned for you. You're
engaged in a war with people who love death as much as you love life.
So prepare yourself for what is coming.
Listen to us, you criminal, the cars of death will not stop until
you concede to our demands and they include:
1. That they free our prisoners in American prisons, especially the
prisoners of Guantanamo and the mojahed Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman and
those in the jails of the Arab, western, Persian and Jewish tails
of America.
2. That they stop their war against Islam and Muslims around the world
in the name of fighting terrorism.
3. To purify all Islamic land from the filth of the Jews and Americans,
including Jerusalem and Kashmir.
4. For America to stop interfering between us and the tyrannical governments
which rule Muslims and for us to set up an Islamic caliphate [state].
O Islamic nation, you must support the mojahedin to victory ... God
is Greatest, Islam is on the way.
Abu Hafz al-Masri Brigades.
