UPDATE 12/8/11 11:21 AM: Here is an English translation of the below statement:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
All praise be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists, and may prayers and peace be upon the Master of the Mujahideen, our Prophet Muhammad, and on all of his family and companions:
The Administration of al-Fidaa Islamic Network presents condolences to the Ummah of Islam and to our brothers in the al-Qaeda organization and to their head, the Esteemed Leader Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri, may Allah protect him, and to the Esteemed Scholar Sheikh Abu Yahya al-Libi, may Allah protect him. We offer our condolences on the killing of the Esteemed Mujahid Sheikh Attiyah Allah Abu Abd al-Rahman, Jamal Ibrahim al-Misrati, after spending most of his life in the battlefields of jihad as a Mujahid, student of knowledge, and an emir, working as its guiding force. So, we ask Allah to have mercy on him and accept him among the martyrs. And to Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.
And we call on his brothers who remain after him to stay steadfast on the path of Jihad and to defend Islamic and the Muslims in order to raise the banner of truth and spread the authority of Islam on the earth. This is the obligation to Allah for the people on this path, as Allah the Glorious said:
“Muhammad is no more than an apostle: many were the apostle that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah. but Allah on the other hand will swiftly reward those who serve Him with gratitude. Nor can a soul die except by Allah”s leave, the term being fixed as by writing. If any do desire a reward in this life, We shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give it to him. And swiftly shall We reward those that serve us with gratitude.” [Aal-e-Imran: 144-145]
Indeed, the killing of our Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, increases in us – we the people of the Jihadi media especially – determination to hold fast to the rift and undertake our work to the fullest extent possible in fulfillment of the efforts of Sheikh Attiyah Allah and to fill one of the gaps of his journey. He was an excellent teacher and a guiding force for his brothers and humble towards them.
We ask Allah to leave us with goodness, to protect our leaders and sheikhs, to make them steadfast in their religion, make their unity everlasting, and safeguard them from the evil of the enemy and all evildoers.
And may peace and Allah’s prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and on all of his family and companions.

الحمد لله رب العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين، نبيِّنا محمد وعلى آله وأصحابه أجمعين، أما بعد:
فتتقدم إدارة شبكة الفداء الإسلامية إلى أمة الإسلام، وإلى إخواننا في تنظيم القاعدة وعلى رأسهم فضيلة الشيخ القائد أيمن الظواهري حفظه الله، وفضيلة الشيخ العالم أبي يحيى الليبي حفظه الله، نتقدم إليهم بالتعزية في مقتل فضيلة الشيخ المجاهد عطية الله أبي عبد الرحمن، جمال إبراهيم المصراتي، بعد أن قضى أكثر عمره في ساحات الجهاد، مجاهدا وطالبا للعلم وأميرا وعالما موجِّها، فنسأل الله أن يرحمه ويتقبله في الشهداء. وإنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون.
وندعو إخوانه الذين بقوا من بعده إلى الثبات على طريق الجهاد، والذود عن الإسلام والمسلمين، حتى يعلوا راية الحق ويبسطوا سلطان الإسلام في الأرض، فهذه هي سنة الله في أهل هذا الطريق، قال الله سبحانه: {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ وَمَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا وَسَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ ، وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَنْ تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ كِتَابًا مُؤَجَّلًا وَمَنْ يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَمَنْ يُرِدْ ثَوَابَ الْآَخِرَةِ نُؤْتِهِ مِنْهَا وَسَنَجْزِي الشَّاكِرِينَ} .
وإن مقتل شيخنا رحمه الله ليزيدنا – نحن أهل الإعلام الجهادي خاصة – عزيمة على التمسك بثغرنا والقيام بأعمالنا على أتم وجه ممكن، وفاء لجهود الشيخ عطية الله وتكميلاً لمسيرته في أحد الثغور التي كان عليها، فإنه كان نعم المربي والموجِّه لإخوانه والمتواضع لهم.
ونسأل الله أن يخلف لنا بخير، وأن يحفظ قادتنا ومشايخنا ويثبتهم على دينهم ويديم عليهم وحدتهم ويقيهم شر العدو وشر كل ذي شر.
وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين.
