Harmony and Disharmony: Date: Unknown Author: Omar al-Sumale Length: 6 pages Title: A Short Report on the Trip from Nairobi to Cape Kambooni and the Situation in the Southern Region Full Text: English Arabic Synopsis: Omar describes the tribal population, the region’s cities, and the topography. He also writes about the schedule of future work, provides some examples of terrorist operations that his group carried out, and gives his opinion on the location and the future of the operation. Key Themes: The notes made in the first section represent a terrorist scouting report for the Kenyan coast popular with tourists. Special attention is given to the areas where tourists congregate, and the patrols conducted by the police. Tactics for avoiding police detection are described as well as navigational details for moving by ship along the coast. The second part of the document begins with ethnographic information about Bajuni, Ogaden, and Jal Jaal people of coastal northern Kenya and Somalia. Political programs were established with all three to promote their cooperation with Al-Qa’ida. Operational requirements for the region are established, and the results of two operations analyzed. Ambush of Belgian Patrol. Al-Qa’ida supported forces in Somalia are credited with killing a Belgian soldier in an ambush and driving the Belgians out of the region. Attacks against Indian forces. Al-Qa’ida supported forces are credited with a successful attack against the Indian Army encampment at Bols Quqani, and in another operation driving the Indian out of Kambooni. Omar has a high opinion of the local fighters who have proven to be successful and have inspired many Muslim youth to sign up and be fighters.
