Transcript: Message from the "Emir" of the "German Taliban Mujahideen" Abu Ishaq al-Muhajir

By Evan Kohlmann

2260.jpgThe NEFA Foundation has obtained a new document from the designated terrorist organization known as the “Islamic Jihad Union” (IJU), offering a message from the “German Taliban Mujahideen.” The statement encourages German ISAF soldiers serving in Afghanistan to abandon their posts, or else face grave punishment: “Just as the terrorist crusaders were surprised and shocked, so will also be the unjust German crusaders surprised and shocked.” The statement goes on: ”We observe that your soldiers are being carved up by our Martyrs Brigades, and that your troops in Afghanistan are being wiped out. We promise you that the German troops, who are the protectors of the Zionist Christian Union, will return individually in coffins from the occupied territories.”

An English translation of Abu Ishaq's statement on behalf of the "German Taliban Mujahideen" can be accessed via the NEFA Foundation website.
