GSPC: "Defeating Evil America" Will Bring Peace to Algeria
By Evan Kohlmann
In a new communique dated September 27, the top commander of the Algerian Salafist Group for Prayer and Combat (GSPC) Abu Musab Abdel Wadoud has addressed an Algerian government amnesty proposal for Islamic militants willing to lay down their arms. Wadoud scoffed at the amnesty proposal, suggesting its only possible meaning was that "after the prolonged ordeal of fighting the soldiers of Allah, the enemies of Allah have realized that this group cannot be eliminated and will never be defeated." Wadoud explained further that--given current world events--there can be no peace in Algeria until "evil America" is defeated:
"...the world war between Muslims and Christians has already begun the leader of the infidels, Bush, has clearly declared this war three times to be a crusader war the defeat that America is suffering now along with the other Western nations has played a critical role in awakening young Muslim men around the world, including in Algeria. There is no doubt that defeating evil America will bring an end to all the apostate and treacherous regimes on the planet, including the apostate regime in Algeria... We inform this evil president [Abdelaziz Bouteflika] that we will never shake our hands with your filthy handsthose which have also grasped [the hands of] the Jew [Ehud] Barak O Allah, destroy America and its apostate tyrants everywhere and bestow victory upon your mujahideen servants. Finally, I send my greetings to our Shaykh Usama Bin Laden and I ask Allah to protect him. I also send my greetings to our beloved brother Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and to all the jihadi commanders everywhere."
