NEFA Foundation: Bin Laden, al-Baghdadi Audio Transcripts
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation is now offering a complete English transcript of the latest audio recording from Al-Qaida leader Usama Bin Laden, titled "The Way to Frustrate the Conspiracies." During his speech, Bin Laden called upon insurgent groups who have resisted joining Al-Qaida's "Islamic State of Iraq", urging them to follow the lead of commanders like Abu Hamza al-Muhajir "known to be trustworthy after demonstrating fortitude and resolve in the fierce battles and bombing raids over the peaks of the Hindu Kush, and... well-known to your brothers in Afghanistan." Bin Laden also directed a specific message to Palestinians, reassuring them "we will widen the scope of our jihad and we will not recognize Sykes-Picot borders... Our jihad is to liberate Palestine... Blood for blood, destruction for destruction." The transcript can be downloaded from the NEFA Foundation website, c/o the NEFA TerrorWatch subscription service.
Shortly, the NEFA website will also be offering a complete English transcript of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi's latest audio recording released on December 22, titled "Be Kind to the Believers, and Harsh With the Infidels." Al-Baghdadi is the top leader (amir al-mumineen) of the Al-Qaida-sponsored Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). For more information about Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and the ISI, see the NEFA Foundation report "State of the Sunni Insurgency in Iraq: August 2007."
