Apparent Zarqawi Clone in Morocco Threatens Suicide Attacks on "Infidel Colonizers" and "Apostate Rulers"

By Evan Kohlmann

A previously unknown group calling itself the "Tawheed wal-Jihad Islamic Movement"  has issued a new communiqu� threatening to wage jihad against the King of Morocco and his secular, pro-Western government.  According to the statement, "Let the perverted king know that there are many young Moroccan men who are seeking martyrdom and we have no fear of him or his followers.  Let the criminals know that, if Allah wills it, we will set the ground underneath their feet ablaze... We inform you that your day has come and soon the first flames of our holy jihad shall burst forth."  Prior to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi swearing bayat (an oath of allegiance) to Usama Bin Laden in November 2004, his terrorist affiliate organization in Iraq was likewise known as the "Tawheed wal-Jihad Movement."
