NEFA Foundation: Al-Fajr Media Center Announcement of "Martyrdom" of Al-Qaida Commander Abu Laith al-Liby

By Evan Kohlmann

The NEFA Foundation website is now offering a complete English translation of the Al-Fajr Media Center statement announcing the "martyrdom" of senior Al-Qaida commander Shaykh Abu al-Laith al-Liby "along with a group of his brothers on the earth of Muslim Pakistan." According to the statement, "although we mourn his loss, the legacy that he has left behind only increases the blazing fires that will burn the enemies of our faith and religion. How many brothers were there who he trained who turned to the path of jihad, and how often was he supervising the training camps, and how much did he help guide and provide instruction and planning, becoming an expert in all these aspects. He has led battles of pride and glory, destroying the infidel fortresses, and weakening the strength of their soldiers... We say to the infidels everywhere and the crusader army that... the death of our leaders serves as evidence of the propriety of our methods.... with their blood and bodies, our victory will be accomplished."
