Harmony and Disharmony: Doc ID: AFGP-2002-600053 (Letter Four) Synopsis: Hassan is writing from an Al-Qa’ida training camp and relates his disappointments concerning reverses Al-Qa’ida has experienced in Central Asia. He also seeks to apply lessons learned from the arrest of international terrorist Carlos. Key Themes: In Tajikistan Al-Qa’ida has been outmaneuvered by the Nahdha movement and Ahmad Shah Mas’oud who have been able to extract arms and ammunition from Al-Qa’ida without providing training. Demoralized Mujahideen have been leaving the movement. Arab fighters in northern Afghanistan are loathed by Mas’oud and his commanders and in Pakistan Arab fighters are restricted and harassed by Pakistani authorities. Combating Islam is now both a state motto and policy in that country. In Pakistan Islam is a “folkloric” religion. Hassan state that Al-Qa’ida in Pakistan is besieged and that “All we have is the beleaguered space between our camp and Kabul in which to move with relative freedom.” Jews are gaining strength in Russia. Hassan engages in the eschatological speculation that the Jewish nuclear project will prepare the way for Armageddon and the rule of King Anti-Christ. He proposes bringing the jihad to Moscow with the ultimate objective of bringing jihad to Jerusalem. Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan are essential fronts for fighting to overcome the developing American blockade in Central Asia. The extradition of Carlos emphasizes the need for preserving strong, secure rear areas in Sudan and Afghanistan. Hassan says that he is bored in Afghanistan and want to relocate his family to Sudan.
