2. ‫بسم اهلل الرحمن الرحيم‬
All Praise be to Allah, the One who weakens the plots of disbelievers, the One who shakes the
hearts of tyrants, and may Peace and Blessings be upon the cheerful, the killer (of infidels), he
who has been sent with the sword until the Final Hour, he who has been given victory through
striking terror a month’s journey away (Muhammad), and upon all his family and Companions.
To proceed:
I begin this statement by directing some words to our scholars and leaders in the General
Command in Khurasan: I am pleased to inform you that by the Grace of Allah, your sons from
the Mujahidoon in the Peninsula of Muhammad () are in the best of conditions, and our lea-
dership is safe and sound. We congratulate you, as well as the whole Muslim Ummah, for the
blessed operation carried out by the heroic Mujahid, Omar Al-Farooq, may Allah make him firm
and release him. We will continue according to your orders no matter what the cost, until the
religion is totally for Allah and we gain one of the two promises of Allah – Victory or Martyrdom.
As for the bombing and killing of our women and children in the beginning of this Hijri year in
the southern provinces of the Yemen in the Peninsula of Muhammad () – Abyan, Arhab, Shab-
wah, Al-Ajashir, and Ma’rib – by our enemies from the Jews, Christians and their aides, it re-
quires that we pause and sincerely ponder which of our enemies it was who carried out these
barbaric Crusader massacres, and think about what will happen if we fail to stand to defend our-
selves and fulfill the obligation which Allah has placed upon us that we prepare and make Jihad
with all we can to repel this religious Crusade being waged by the spiteful Zionists and Chris-
tians. They have come to extinguish the light of Tawheed and Jihad which has become promi-
nent in the Arabian Peninsula by Alla’s Grace.
My Muslim Ummah, understand this well. This war being waged against the Muslims in the Ara-
bian Peninsula has been planned for a long time. We have all seen and heard in the media of
these leading criminals of their meeting and conspiring with each other about this war. This
movement of the international community and the conspiring of the infidel nations and their
aides in their conferences shows us how important this war of beliefs and the geography of this
region is to our enemies, especially those lying near the sea. If we were to seize control of the
Mandab Strait, Allah willing, and if it were to be controlled Islamicly, it would be a great victory
and would have international consequences. The noose would be tightened around Israel, for it
is through the Red Sea which America supplies it. It is for this reason that Israel is working be-
hind the scenes, moving their agents, especially those they trust the most, such as Egypt and the
head of its intelligence, Omar Sulaiman, and the Saudi government, the Zionist-Christian inter-
face, which plays the most role in the region, both regionally and internationally. They safeguard
2

3. the Jewish and Christian oil interests, the waterways, and their very presence which poses a di-
rect threat to the Mujahidoon in the region.
It is incumbent that we, the sons of Islam, unite against these enemies who have teamed up
against us. Allah says:
﴾ ‫﴿ وقَاتِلُوا الْم ْ رِين َ ااَّف ًة َ ما ُيُ َ اتِلُووَ ُ م َ ااَّف ًة ۚ واعلَموا َ َّف اللَّف َ َ َ الْمَّف ِين‬
َ ُ ُ ْ َ ْ َ َ ِ ُ َ
“…and fight against the idolaters collectively as they fight against you collectively. But know
that Allah is with the God-fearing.” (Al-Tawbah: 36)
Dear Muslims, it is clear to you from these international conferences and from the way America
carries out its wars, that the Crusaders are calling for a war against Islam in the Arabian Peninsu-
la, not through direct confrontation, but rather covertly through the following methods:
1) Using drones to gather intelligence and carry out airstrikes, just as they do in Waziristan.
They pay no consideration to how much and whose blood is spilled, as long as they
share with the Mujahidoon the fact that they are Muslim. They have no problem killing
women and children, as is witnessed in Waziristan on a daily basis.
2) The Petraeus strategy, based upon three main factors:
a. Recruiting Muslims against other Muslims, what they call “Awakening Councils”.
A result is that Muslims end up fighting each other.
b. Spoiling the image of the Mujahidoon by carrying out acts of devastation, such
as mosque bombings as well as market bombings, along with the assassination
of certain Islamic personalities, and then putting the blame on the Mujahidoon.
c. Distributing a network of spies and bribing the Muslim laypeople through inter-
national intelligence agencies.
As for us, your brother Mujahidoon, we believe and act in accordance with the state-
ment of our beloved Prophet ():
» ‫« لهدم ال عب حجرا حجرا هو عند اهلل ن ق ل ا رئ سلم بغير حق‬
‫ًة‬ ‫ًة‬
“The destruction of the Ka’bah piece by piece is less severe to Allah than the unlawful
killing of even one Muslim.”
We warn the Muslim Ummah from this cunning strategy and from believing what they
see and hear in the lying media. They must adhere to and believe the truthful media of
the Mujahidoon.

4. 3) Spreading public and open immorality in society under the pretense of freedom and
democracy.
4) Increasing in the number of social and educational westernization programs.
We say to our people of Yemen: You have a great responsibility. The enemy has launched a war
against you and has killed your women and children in Abyan, Arhab, Shabwah and other areas,
and their drones still hover over your heads to plan the next massacre. My dear people of Ye-
men, you must take the stance of men, something which befits you and is known of you. The
pages of history are filled with your honorable ones who have stood to defend the weak and
oppressed. You people are known to be severe in warfare. By Allah, you must fulfill your duty!
Be careful that Islam is not harmed due to your negligence! We are both in the same trench and
the enemy does not differentiate between us. This is a religious Crusade spiteful of Islam and
the Muslims.
O tribes of Yemen! I specify those honorable and proud tribes who the Crusader enemy, aided
by its agents, is pursuing from amongst the Mujahidoon, the heroes of Awaliq, Arhab, Abeedah,
and the leaders of Hawtah. Take to those tribes who are conspiring with the Crusaders against
the Muslims. Know well that we are with you against your enemies and the enemies of Islam.
We are from you, and you are from us. If they spill your blood or plunder your wealth, we will
exact revenge. We will continue our Jihad, Allah willing, until we meet Allah. Don’t fear the
threats of this proxy government, the agents of America, for they are too weak to carry them
out. You will soon hear what you like. Our Lord Protector is Allah, while they have none.
To our fellow Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula: May Allah have mercy on you, understand well
that various trials have befallen you in your peninsula. The Rafidites, the Jews, the Christians,
and the traitorous apostate rulers have all descended up on you. They all seek to harm your reli-
gion, lives, wealth, honor, and land. You have no way to survive these trials except through Jihad
in the Cause of Allah, for this is the reason Jihad has been legislated. Allah has said,
‫﴿ ُ تِ َ علَْي ُ م الْ ِ َاا وهو ُ رٌه لَّف ُ م ۖ وعس ٰى َ تَ ْ رهوا ش ْيئًةا وهو َ ْيُير لَّف ُ م ۖ وعس ٰى َ تُحبُّوا‬
ِ
َ َ َ ْ ‫َ ُ َ َ ُ َ ٌه‬ َ َ َ ْ ْ َُ َ ُ ُ َ
﴾ َ ‫ش ْيئًةا وهو شر لَّف ُ م ۗ واللَّف ُ َُيعلَم وَو ُم َ تَُيعلَمو‬
ُ ْ ْ َُ ْ َ ْ ‫َ َ ُ َ َ ٌّر‬
“Jihad is ordained for you though you dislike it. It may be that you dislike a thing which is good
for you. And it may be that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not
know.” (Al-Baqarah: 216)

5. Allah ended this great verse by stating His infinite knowledge, and that the knowledge pos-
sessed by others of His creation is from His knowledge. Help and support your children, the van-
guard who has raised the flag of Jihad in the Peninsula of Muhammad (). Jihad and aiding it has
become a religious duty upon you which Allah has obligated just like prayer and fasting. None
have the right to prevent anyone from making Jihad except Allah. The Ummah, from the first to
its last, has unanimously agreed that if the enemy attacks any Islamic land, fighting becomes an
obligation. There is no delineation between land, sea or air; all these considered part of the Is-
lamic land, and today they are under occupation.
My people of the Arabian Peninsula, I advise you to prepare yourselves and don your weapons
to defend your religion and lives. Join your brother Mujahidoon in the Arabian Peninsula, and
set out in the Cause of Allah. Answer the call of Jihad in defense of your sanctities, honor, and
land, for Allah has encouraged you to wage Jihad against the Jews and Christians, saying:
‫﴿قَاتِلُوا الَّف ِ ن َ ُيُ ْ ِ نُو َ بِاللَّف ِ وَ بِالْيَُيوِم اا ِ ر وَ ُحرُو َ َا حرم اللَّف ُ وَ ُ ولُ ُ وَ َد نُو َ ِ ن الْحق‬
‫َ َ ِّر‬ ِ
َ َ َ ‫َ َّف‬ ‫ْ ْ ِ َ َ ِّر‬ َ َ

‫ِ َ ٍد‬

“Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has
been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger Muhammad () and those who acknowledge not
the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until
they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (Al-Tawbah: 29)
Our Prophet, Muhammad (), commanded and encouraged us to expel them from the Arabian
Peninsula, saying:
» ‫« رجوا الم ر ين ن ج رة العرب‬
“Expel the idolaters from the Arabian Peninsula.” (Al-Bukhari)
Where are the people of knowledge, insight and understanding, who understand what the good
places are, those places where a person is rewarded for their eating, drinking, sleep, and wake-
fulness; all his movements and stillness is rewarded, as Allah () said:
َ ُ ِ ِْ
َ‫﴿ َاَ بَِوَّفهم َ ُ ِ يبُُيهم َم ٌه وَ وَ َ ٌه وَ َ ْ م َ ٌه اِي َ بِيل اللَّف ِ وَ َطَئُو َ َوطئًةا َغيي الْ ُ َّف ا َ و‬
َ ِ َ َ َ َ ُْ ْ ُ ‫ُي‬
ِ
َ ‫َُينَالُو َ ِ ن عدو وَّف ْي ًة َِّف ُ ِ َ لَهم بِ ِ عمل َ الِ ٌه ۚ ِ َّف اللَّف َ َ ُ ِ ي ُ َجر الْمحسنِيَ * وَ ُن ِ ُو‬
َ
ِ
ْ ُ َْ ‫َ َ ٌه‬ ُ ‫ْ َ ُ ٍّو ُي‬
﴾ َ ‫وَُي َ َ ًة َغيرةًة وَ َ بِيرةًة وَ َُي ْ طَعُو َ وا ِ ًةا َِّف ُ ِ َ لَهم لِيَج َُِيهم اللَّف ُ َحسن َا َ اوُوا َُيعملُو‬
َْ ََ ْ ُُ ْ ُْ َ َ َ َ َ

“That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allah, nor
they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is
5

6. written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allah wastes not the reward of the
good-doers. Nor do they spend anything (in Allah's Cause) - small or great - nor cross a valley,
but is written to their credit that Allah may recompense them with the best of what they used
to do.” (Al-Tawbah: 120)
The Prophet () said:
‫« الغ و ا وا ا ا ن اب غ وج اهلل و طاع اإل ام و و ق ال ر م و ا ر ال ر ك واج ن ال سا اإ‬
» ‫وو ووبه جر ل‬
‫ٌه‬
“There are two types of excursions. As for he who seeks the Pleasure of Allah, obeys the lead-
er, spends his good things, takes it easy on his companion, and avoids corruption, his periods
of sleep and wakefulness are also rewarded.” (Ahmed Abu Dawud and Al-Nasa’i)
My Ummah of Jihad! You must fight Jihad in the Cause of Allah, for Crusader American interests
can be found everywhere, and their agents travel all around. They are in front of you. Defend us
from our enemies as much as you can, especially the criminals of the Saudi family, for it is they
who are carrying out this war against the Muslims in lieu of the Zionist Christian Crusaders. Al-
lah is Sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
I say to my brothers, the great leaders of Somalia: May Allah reward with the best; we thank
you for taking the initiative by offering us your troops. This is the true meaning of being one
Ummah and Islamic fraternity. You did this while you yourselves are in times of difficulty, toil
and Jihad, offering us your troops in our defense. May Allah be pleased with you and bless your
men. However, let us all work together, each in our own area in our future battle with America,
the leader of international infidelity. We both are on the banks of the Mandab Strait, so let Allah
see from us what pleases Him by annihilating our enemy. Let us collaborate with each other in
this war against our enemies until Allah gives us victory or martyrdom, Allah willing.
To our brothers in the various Islamic fronts, especially the front of the Arabian Peninsula: I
advise myself and you to fear Allah and to be thankful of His blessings which He has granted us,
for the Messenger of Allah () has said:
‫ٍد‬ ‫ٍد‬
» ‫« ِباط وم اي بيل اهلل ير ن لف وم ايما وا ن المنازا‬
‫ٌه‬
“Being stationed for one day in the Cause of Allah is better than a thousand days of doing oth-
er good deeds.” (Ahmed)
Receive the good news that whoever of you dies while stationed in the Cause of Allah will con-
tinue to receive the rewards of the deeds he performed until the Day of Resurrection. I give you
6

7. the good news of this great hadeeth which applies to you in all conditions and whatever harms
you in this Path. The Prophet () said:
‫رج جها ًةا اي بيلي و ما ٌه بي وت د ًة ا بِر لي اهو علي‬
ُ ‫« ت من اهلل لمن رج اي بيل‬
‫س‬ ّ
‫ٍد‬
‫ل الجن و جع ل س ن ال ي رج ن واا ًة ا واا ن جر و انيم , وال ي‬ ‫ان‬
‫ٌه‬
‫و س حمد بيد ا ن لم لم اي بيل اهلل جاء وم ال يا هيئ حين ُ لِم لوو لو الدم‬
‫ٍد‬
‫شق عل المسلمين ا قعدت ِ ف ر‬ ‫المسك, وال ي و س حمد بيد لو‬ ‫وح‬
,‫ل وا عني‬ ‫ع و ق عليهم‬ ‫جد ع ا حملهم و جدو‬ ‫تغ و اي بيل اهلل بدا ول ن‬
‫ًة‬
» ‫وال ي و س حمد بيد لو ت وي ا و اي بيل اهلل ا ُق ل ثم ا و ا ُق ل ثم ا و ا ُق ل‬
“Allah has guaranteed the one who has set out in Allah’s Cause purely to wage Jihad in My
Cause, belief in Me and My Messengers that I will admit him into Paradise or return him to his
home from which he set out with rewards and booty. By Him in whose Hand is Muhammad’s
soul, there is no wound in the Cause of Allah except that he will come on the Day of Judgment
with that wound when it first appeared; its color will be that of blood, but its scent will be
that of musk. By Him in whose Hand is Muhammad’s soul, had I not felt that I would be mak-
ing things hard for the Muslims, I would not have stayed behind from even one invasion in the
Cause of Allah, but I don’t find enough to take them all with me, nor do they find it possible
and it is very hard for them to stay behind and not accompany me. By Him in whose Hand is
Muhammad’s soul, I wish that I could go on an invasion for the Cause of Allah and be killed,
then again go an invasion and be killed, then again go an invasion and be killed.” (Muslim)
In conclusion: We say to the Americans there is no solution for you except what our leader,
Sheikh Usama b. Ladin has said before and has repeated it in the last few days:
“America will never even dream of peace and security until we live it practically in Palestine.”
And our final prayer is that all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.
