Harmony and Disharmony:
Doc ID: AFGP-2002-600053 (Letter Three) Synopsis: Congratulations for the victory in Somalia and a strategic review of worldwide jihad operations. Success of the Africa Corps is contrasted with the difficult position of the Asian Corps. Key Themes: Hassan begins by expressing his congratulations to the Africa Corps for their great victory in Somalia. He would like to join them is having difficulties traveling because he is now wanted for security reasons in Pakistan. He asks the questions: “So how were our amazing Corps and its starving African Muslim allies able to be victorious over the greatest power in the world today?” The answer lies in the power of God, because “When we are truly fighting in the name and on behalf of God, we have nothing to fear…” In Somalia, Islamic forces were able to exploit America’s Vietnam Complex, because the American’s fear getting bogged down in a real war. Al-Qa’ida needs to develop a tactical doctrine to exploit the weakness of its great enemy, and a Counter-Intelligence strategy to confront the power of the American security agencies. Victory in Somalia must be followed up to avoid giving the defeated foe time to regroup. The strategy of the “Jewish West” is to strike at the periphery of the Muslim lands. The original crusaders tried to strike at the center of the Islamic lands, but were defeated. The Crusaders adapted, conquered the periphery, and were then able to control the Arabian Peninsula and Palestine. Somalia represents a victory for Al-Qa’ida on the periphery. The hour for regaining the heartland has arrived, but much training is required before this phase can begin. While the Africa Corps has been successful, the Asian Corps is very weak with only 5 members. Yemen is described as a crucial battlefield, an auspicious location for declaring jihad in the Arabian Peninsula. More effective radio broadcasts are needed to launch a propaganda campaign in Yemen and Somalia. Demands should include: Evacuation of the Crusaders, Jews, and infidel forces from the Peninsula. Destruction of churches and Jewish and Buddhist temples. Hassan observes that radio stations are more powerful than atomic bombs and that several dozen committed young believers can bring correct teaching to the whole area. Martyrdom attacks in Yemen create an auspicious opportunity to declare jihad in the Arabian Peninsula. Next comes a review of lessons learned in Tajikistan. Serious errors have been committed by the Nahdha who have relinquished their Islamic identity. Nahdha like Saddam Hussein exploits Islam to gain popular support, but by no means expresses true adherence to Islam. In Kabul, warlords who pursue their own agendas are weakening the work of jihad.
