This is a long post because it is the entire translated message of the lastest from their mouth. HOWEVER read the whole thing through. A bit laborous but gives you what they are thinking and it ain't good....


The Mujahidin's Roadmap
The Abu-Hafs al-Masri Brigades (Al-Qa'ida) [Translated by (redacted)],

01 Jul 04

Our aims in the coming stage:

1. To enlarge the circle of the struggle by distributing the
operations all over the world. To drag the United States into a third
quagmire, that is after Iraq and Afghanistan, and let it be Yemen, Allah
willing. We said this in our statement of 20 Muharram 1425 Hegira,
corresponding to 11 March 2004. We tell the Abu-Ali al-Harithi Brigade:
The leadership has decided that Yemen should be the third quagmire for the
idol of the age, the United States, and to punish the renegade agent
government that comes second after Musharraf.

2. Undermine the investor's confidence in the US economy.

3. Expose the Crusader-Zionist scheme.

4. Scatter and exhaust the enemy.

After these steps comes the role of the anticipated strike that will
make the United States yield or break its will and leave its agents so that
we can settle accounts with them. The convoy will then move to Jerusalem,
Allah willing. Some might think this unlikely or doubt it, but we are
confident of Allah's victory and that Allah defends those who believe. For
those who put their trust should put their trust in Allah [Koranic verse]
after considering the causes that we have. God has not ordered us to do
more than that.

To our martyrs:

Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with
Allah; of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some
(still) wait: But they have never changed (their determination) in the
least. [Koranic verse]

[Words indistinct] paradise to you, Allah willing. Your chaste bodies
pave for us the road of jihad and from your noble blood will come the
fragrance of pride and success. With your words we remember the Hereafter
and they soften our [word indistinct] catastrophes.

May Allah have mercy on you and accept you with the martyrs and the
righteous ones.

Our dead are in paradise and their dead are in hell.

To our prisoners:

We have not and will not forget you and we will not rest until we get
you out of imprisonment, Allah willing, leaders and soldiers without
exception. The enemy will pay a heavy price until you return to us proud
and noble.

Every Muslim has to work for your release and the best way for doing
so is to kidnap the largest number of the enemy everywhere. This is the
only way that the enemy understands.

Al-Izz Bin-Abd-al-Salam, may Allah have mercy on his soul, said:

"Saving Muslim prisoners from the infidels' hands is one of the best
virtues." Some ulema said: "If one Muslim is captured, it is our duty to
fight them until we rescue him from their hands." So think of the many
Muslims, including women and children, they have captured, as the infidels
themselves admit.

We do not accuse Muslims or Muslim societies of unbelief. It is for
their sake that we came out to defend them and want them to have security
and peace, but not at the expense of disobeying Allah. We were ordered to
fight jihad and make Allah's word above all so as to get the infidel out of
our land, release our prisoners, and rule with what He has revealed. We
follow the Sunna and nation course, the course of the Companions whom the
Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, died pleased
with, the course of the first three centuries. No one can say no to jihad
today, for as the Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
said: Jihad continues until the Day of Judgment. Let the people know that
there are two kinds of jihad. One is the quest jihad [jihad talab] -- there
are conditions for it and it is the one about whom the sultans' ulema and
the sons of the submissive Islamic movements talk. The other jihad is the
thrust jihad [jihad al-daf], which has no condition apart from faith.

One who becomes a Muslim now and fights an enemy before performing one
prayer enters paradise, by the Grace of Allah, as reported in the Hadith.

O Muslims, beware the enemy's lies as he tries to depict the mujahidin
as criminals who understand nothing of Allah's religion.

What do we want from the Crusaders:

These operations will not cease until Bush, his gangs, his Arab,
non-Arab, and Jewish lackeys review their policies toward Islam and Muslims,
which are summed up as follows:

To release our prisoners in US prisons, especially the Guantanamo
prisoners, the mujahid Shaykh Umar Abd-al-Rahman, and those in the prisons
of America's Arab, non-Arab, and Jewish lackeys.

To cease their war on Islam and Muslims all over the world in the name
of fighting terrorism.

To cleanse all Muslim lands from the desecration by the Jews,
American, and Hindus, including Jerusalem and Kashmir.

That the United States and its allies do not interfere in the Muslims'

affairs politically, economically, socially, and culturally and do not
prevent the establishment of the state of Islam.

That the Crusader West does not intervene between the Muslims and
their apostate rulers.

Our strategy with the enemy is:

Allah the Exalted and Sublime says: "O ye who believe! Persevere in
patience and constancy; vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and
fear Allah; that ye may prosper.

The enemy can be patient but cannot persevere. We, with our faith,
creed, and love for meeting Allah, can persevere until the enemy collapses,
even if this takes decades or centuries. We are tasked to fight them until
victory of martyrdom.

An excuse and a warning:

To the European people. You have only few days left to accept the
peace [sulh], otherwise you have only yourselves to blame.

To the Muslims living in the West, anyone among you who can immigrate
to the lands of Muslims let him do so. Anyone who cannot do so, let him be
on his guard by living in the Muslims' areas, have enough food for himself
and his family for one month, have the means to defend himself and his
family, leave in the house enough money for one month or more, and pray more
and seek the help of Allah.


Do not blame us for what is going to happen. We apologize to you
beforehand if you are to be among the dead.

Short messages:

To the Arab and non-Arab agents of Bush: Who will stop the coming
waves of death. Let it be between us, America, and you and the Jews and
will be saved.

To Kerry: You threaten us with war and this is our answer:

By Allah, we fight them a war that will make the child's hair turn
gray before the old.

To Sharon: We are going to cut off America's rope that is giving you
the strength and then destroy the Arabs protecting you. Then we will not
find it difficult to slaughter you like sheep.

To Tenet: You will need more than five years to confront us, that is,
if you had remained for five years.

To the US Senate: Sorry for disturbing you on 4-2-2004, but we needed
to test the (Ricin) on some persons. We will need to return to you, but
this time not for testing.

To Bush: You who entered Iraq on a dark night like a rat out of fear
of the mujahidin; your black days have not yet come. Remember when you shed
tears in September. What is coming will make you shed blood, by the Grace
of Allah.

Summary:

The Americans, Jews, and the Crusader West are our enemies and they
are combatants. They must be killed wherever they are caught. Arabs and
Muslims who support them are considered to be like them and must be killed
because they are apostates.

Palestine should not be partitioned no matter how things are. It is a
Muslim waqf and no one has the right to dispose of it.

Combat is today the individual duty of every Muslim man and woman, as
the ancestor ulema agreed. If the enemy enters a single inch of the
Muslims' land, then it becomes the Muslims' duty to fight until they get the
enemy out. Let a million or more die in the battlefield and let those
remaining live in dignity and freedom as this is better than having [words
indistinct] die in the dialogue and humiliation field and the remaining ones
live in humiliation and be the slaves of the Christians and Jews.

The United Nations is a crusader's establishment that legislates for
the humiliation of Muslims, the strikes on them, and their fragmentation.
Its funds and the blood of everyone who works in it are sanctioned to every
Muslim.

The Muslim's blood, possessions, and honor are proscribed, except for
those who betray Allah and His Messenger, as the shari'ah explains.

The conclusion:

The defense [al-ismah] is in the sword!

The defense is in the sword!

Amen, amen, amen.

Allah Is Great, Allah Is Great. Islam is coming,
