Al-Qaida's Jihad Committee in Mesopotamia--led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi--has issued a new statement signed by "Abu Abdelrahman al-Iraqi", identified as Zarqawi's "Deputy Commander" in Iraq. In his communique, Abu Abdelrahman declares, "May Allah bless you, O’ soldiers of Allah and lions of al-Tawheed wherever you are and in whatever country you are fighting the enemies of Allah… O’ nation of Islam, prepare yourself for good tidings... We ask every mujahid to stay firm in his jihad and his religion and never to accept peace or a truce because weakness has spread throughout the nations of the infidels and good tidings of victory are visible on the horizon... O’ Allah, defeat America and its allies and make them and their possessions into a reward for the Muslims. O’ Allah, demolish America and shake its foundations… O’ Allah of heaven, earth, and the seas, destroy America and make its power into a reward for the Muslims. Cast whatever power they had into the sea and let it drown."
