UPDATE 2/15 6:35 PM: Here is an English translation of the below video message:
I seek refuge in God from the cursed Satan. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful!
Verily, all praise is due to God, we praise Him, we seek Him and we ask for His forgiveness and guidance, and we seek refuge in God from the evil of our own selves and from evil consequences of our actions, whom God guides, nobody can misguide, and whom God leaves astray nobody can guide.
I testify there is no God but God, and that Muhammad is the Prophet of God.
And then:
May peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you!
Dear Muslim brothers and sisters. Today, I want to address to you with this letter, a video letter. Before I address to you, I would like to ask the Almighty that He makes my words beneficial for Muslim people and beneficial for the Nation of the Prophet (pbuh). I am not getting tired giving praise to God who made me a holy warrior, who made me a Muslim, and I praise Him for putting me in the ranks of holy warriors.
By addressing now to you, I want at least one Muslim to see the truth in the events which occur in this world. After the special operation was carried out on January 24 in Moscow, we heard how all the politicians and clergy accused the people, who did that, of terrorism and, among other things, of being inhuman and barbaric evil doers. But look. This operation was carried out on my orders and, God willing, such special operations will be carried out in the future.
Look at the events which are now developing in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. By what right do they kill our brothers in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Algeria and all over the Muslim world?
Why is the Nation of the Prophet (pbuh) being destroyed today, as much as they like it, with every method they like it and nobody condemns this destruction? But when we carry out an operation, everybody comes down on us and tries to tarnish us and blame us. But why don’t they make assessments for themselves? Why are they trying to make barbarians out of us today? Look how they kill our brothers in every Muslim state, where true Muslims strive for freedom, freedom to profess their religion. Why is the whole world silent when they destroy and kill our brothers and sisters?
And when we answer to something for which we have a right to do, the world immediately pounces on us. Look at the events which are happening in Sudan, where the president (or Emir, I don’t know what he is called) made his first concession many years ago by agreeing not to rule by Sharia and the Sunah of the Prophet (pbuh), he should have known that this was only the first of many forthcoming concessions, and that they would tear him apart with all force. Look how the largest Muslim state is being divided and cut apart today. America and “Israel” are dividing the very part of Sudan which possesses energy resources, where there is oil and gold, where there is oil and gas, and taking it away from Sudan. Why is it that the world looks at these events so calmly and does not react?
Look, if now we are not given the right for freedom, if we are not given the right for profess our faith, under cover of the slogans that our faith is not ancient and our faith is short sighted, that our people are small in numbers, then all the rights belong to numerous peoples and their cultures, rooted in antiquity,
We are not to invent anything new in that case. Russia and America should simply acknowledge that the right to be the masters of the world belongs to China because it has most of the people and the most ancient culture. Therefore, it is necessary to give all the rights to China.
Today, this right given is given to every man, this right is given at birth by the Almighty, and nobody has the right to deprive anyone of this right anywhere in the world. Therefore, we, the holy warriors of Caucasus, are now striving for freedom, which was given to us by the Almighty, we are striving to make our Caucasus free, we are striving for human rights to be proclaimed in Caucasus, for the right for life because life is given by the Almighty and nobody has a right to deprive anyone of life but only under the right, under the law of God.
We want that Caucasus today has the right for freedom, the right for worship, the right for (political) convictions, and the right for justice, because a court can only be the court from God, according to the Sharia, the right for defending honor and dignity, the right for an asylum for the persecuted, the right for defending property.
I want to ask those who listen to me today, those who view me now: where are these laws observed today by these infidel states that occupy and oppress the peoples who have a right to be free in this world? Where are these states? Is it America, or “Israel”, or Russia, or China? Where are these rights respected? Nowhere! Nowhere! They are only declared on a sheet of paper. Their laws are used as a truncheon to beat you on your head wherever it is possible for them and wherever there is no resistance.
Look at the events which are happening in Tunisia, Algeria and many other Arabic countries. Do not be fooled that these events bring some benefit to the Nation of the Prophet (pbuh) or Islam. No. One puppets are simply being replaced by the others. If the slogans of God and the laws of the Sharia were really proclaimed there, if the Truth were present there, then all the actions would have been carried out by Muslims and these occupiers, the Americans, would have long bombed these cities. Simply, one stooges are being replaced by other stooges. And that is all. Look what happens everywhere where Satan is rejected, where their laws are rejected, everywhere – take Caucasus, take Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Kashmir- look at their methods of destroying our brothers and sisters.
There is no doubt about that: anywhere where is Truth, where events, behind which God would stay, take place, where the laws of God are proclaimed, where the laws of Satan are rejected, everywhere the infidels destroy our Muslim Nation, destroy our brothers, who proclaim these slogans. But the world is somewhat silent.
The whole world looks at us with condemnation. At it looks with sympathy at the actions by the infidels, by the Satanic regimes, and presents its feigned condolences. Why is it so? Because those people who present feigned condolences, those people who are at the top of the Muslim Nation and Muslims governments, they are puppets, they are henchmen of infidels. When some of them go too far and do not satisfy their masters any more, they are destroyed: they are killed or sent to prison or hung as in the case of Saddam Hussein. And they put other puppets at their place.
But I think it is time to awake. Life was given to us by God in order we sacrifice it to God. And it doesn’t matter how many thousand years we live in this world, our life will be taken by God in any case. Is it not better to bring our life as a gift to God ourselves and to fight in truth on the path of God in order to establish the word of God? What is more sacred for a man than to enter the Paradise? God willing, I hope that my words will open the hearts of our brothers and sisters. God willing, I hope that at least one brother or one sister looks through a clean lens at the events which happen in the world and at least one head in a Muslim community gets free from the garbage that those Satanic regimes put in it.
Today, we, the holy warriors of Caucasus, wage the Holy War in the name of God and in the name of God only, only in order to establish the word of God in Caucasus.
If you are interested in the events that are happening in Caucasus, then ask: why did out ancestors fight? Why is the Caucasian part of the Nation of the Prophet (pbuh) is scattered throughout the world? Why didn’t many generations of them ever see their homeland and died in other countries? They never saw their homeland. Why did that happen?
This is already a law of injustice, this is a law of Satan. There are peoples in Caucasus that have been totally eliminated. That is why we want to stop this injustice, it should not be so. Because God bestowed upon us our land, and God bestowed upon us our religion. God ordered us to wage the Holy War for our religion, for our land and for our honor. Therefore, we, the holy warriors of Caucasus, God willing, are carrying out the God’s order and, God willing, we will continue to carry it out. God willing, we will strive to establish the word of God on this land. And, God willing, even if there is no more Abu Osman, then, God willing, the generation that comes after us will establish the word of God.
These special operations, which are being carried out on the territory of Russia, they will be carried out also in the future, no doubt, because there will be hundreds of brothers among us who are ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of establishing the word of God and for the sake of revenge against the enemies of God because they are the enemies of God. God willing, I demonstrate again to you, I demonstrate to the Putin’s regime out there in Moscow that we do not carry out these operations on a regular basis because we want to demonstrate to the people, to the chauvinistic people, to the chauvinistic regime of Russia that we can carry out these operations at anytime, wherever we want to and whenever we want to.
This is a further demonstration of the fact that we are capable to carry out these operations regularly, to carry out deeper operations, more aggressive operations against you. But I would like not to shed so much blood and not to make such enormous sacrifices, I would like that Russia thinks it over and leaves Caucasus.
But I would like to ask again the

New article from Abū Ismāʻīl of Wilāyah Dagestan of the Caucasus Emirate: "Opponents of the Caucasus Emirate"

Во имя Аллаха, Милостивого, Милосердного!
Хотелось бы объяснить некоторые сомнения в отношении объявления Амиром кавказских муджахидов на Кавказе Доккой Умаровым, да сохранит его Аллах и удлинит в поклонении Ему жизнь, Кавказского эмирата, то есть начала, и фундамента Исламского государства на Кавказе.
К сожалению, мусульмане в общем, и мусульмане россии в особенности, настолько долго жили и продолжают жить по критериям, которые им установили неверные, касающиеся всех сторон жизни, а также вопроса государства, что официальным государством у них будет считаться лишь то, которое неверные нарисовали на карте, и у него должны быть такие-то и такие-то описания. Должны быть школы, больницы, светофоры и т.д. Однако мусульманин обязан сломать эти стереотипы, этих идолов, которые нам неверные внедрили через передачи «Время». Как об этом известно, институт государства в Исламе есть средство для установления религии, и у него нет ни в Коране ни в Сунне чёткого материального обозначения, однако когда община мусульман, может установить религию на том или ином участке земли, а в первую очередь это поклонение одному Аллаху, совершение намаза, давание закята, запрещение порицаемого, приказ одобряемого, то есть способность практикования основ религии и запрещения основных очевидных внешних грехов на территории неподвластной неверным — это будет исламским государством.
Всевышний Аллах сказал: «Если Мы одарим их властью на земле, они будут совершать намаз, выплачивать закят, велеть совершать одобряемое и запрещать предосудительное»(аль-Хадж, 41).
И нет сомнения, что здесь не подразумевается вся земля, ведь Посланник Аллаха, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует, и мусульмане не занимали всю землю и даже не весь аравийский полуостров в начале переселения. А ведь нет сомнения, что они вошли в этот аят. Поэтому достаточно лишь части земли, которая группа мусульман сможет охранять от неверных и поклоняться там одному Аллаху. И не ставиться условием, чтобы это была равнина или город. Любой, кто добавит какое-то описание, о котором упомянул Аллах должен принести доказательство. И конечно в основе своей, мусульманская община должна быть единой под одним правителем. Однако в настоящее время это, к сожалению, не совсем легко сделать. Также нет сомнения в том, что Муса, мир ему, с народом Исраиля были государством, несмотря на то, что находились в пустыне, так как могли спокойно исповедовать религию и защищать себя. Конечно, затем на правителе мусульман лежит обязанность укреплять свое государство всем, в чём будет польза для мусульман и религии, но это уже по степени возможности.
Шейхуль-Ислам ибн Таймия, в своей книге«ас-Сияса аш-Шар’ия» 1/175, говорит: “…иеслицельвластииимущества, будетприближениекАллахуирасходованиенаЕгопути, товэтомбудетблагополучиеврелигиииобычнойжизни. Еслижевластьотдалиласьотрелигии, илирелигияотвласти, тоиспортитсясостояниелюдей.

New Fatwā from Shaykh Abū Walīd al-Maqdisī of Minbar at-Tawḥīd wa'l-Jihād: "What is the Ruling of the Innocents Fallen during Martyrdom Operations? With Guidance"
New statement from M'āssadah al-Mujāhidīn Fī Filisṭīn: "Statement of Support and a Message of Affirmation for the Brothers of Tawḥīd in Egypt"

الحمد لله القائل: {بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ} والصلاة والسلام على نبيه القائل: (أفضل الجهاد كلمة حق عند سلطان جائر).
أما بعد:
إننا في مأسدة المجاهدين في فلسطين ونحن نرقبكم ونتحسس أخباركم وننصركم بكل ما نستطيع وندعو لكم، لنتقدم إليكم بتحية احترام وإكبار، نعم إننا نكبر فيكم أعمالكم وأطفالكم ونحترم فيكم شيوخكم ونحرض فيكم شبابكم، يا من قدمتم دمائكم وأرواحكم رخيصة في سبيل خلع هذا الطاغية المجرم مبارك، وإننا في ذات الوقت ندعوكم لمواصلة رباطكم في كل شوارع مصر، حتى يأذن الله لكم بالنصر والظفر، فإن الحقوق لا تُعطى وإنما تُؤخذ انتزاعاً، وإنما النصر صبر ساعة.
ألا إنه لا يحل لمسلم في مصر أن يقعد بعد أن خرجت النساء والخوالف ومن أعذرهم الشرع إضافة إلى الشباب ولم يكفوا لخلع المشرك المتمسمر فاستغاثوا بكم واستنصروكم لتخرجوا إليهم وتكونوا معهم وتعينوهم على إزالة هذا الحاكم النجس الجاثي على صدوركم والخائن لدينكم والمضيع لأماناتكم ودينكم ودنياكم والسارق لثرواتكم وأمواكم والمستحل لدمائكم والمفسد فيكم والمطبع مع عدوكم الموالي له والمعين على إخوانكم والمهدر لكرامتكم الساحق لحقوقكم، فأصبح بذلك النفير فرض عين عليكم، فاخرجوا مع الخارجين وكونوا لهم في هذه الفعاليات المباركة من المشاركين، وأروا الله منكم ما يسره، وأروا عدوكم منكم ما يضره.
ونوصيكم بأن تحافظوا على ثمرة جهادكم وجهودكم ودمائكم، وأن لا تتركوها للمتسلقين ليسرقوها، فـ “لا مبارك ولا الإخوان ولا حتى البرادعي كمان” لا تكونوا كالمستجيرين من الرمضاء بالنار فإن الحكم لا يصلح إلا بما صلح به أوله وإنه لا قانون يمنحكم الحياة الكريمة من كل جوانبها الاقتصادية والسياسية والاجتماعية مثل الإسلام، وإن أي نظام غيره لن يراعاكم وإنما سيرعى مصالحه ومصالح الكفار في بلادكم.
وخلتهم سهاماً صائبات *** فكانوها ولكن في فؤادي
تمسكوا بشرع ربكم وسنة نبيكم فإن فيهما عصمة أمركم، ولا عذر لكم في تأخير العمل على تحقيق هذا الأمل بدعوى تفاقم الوضع القائم، فإن لم تفعلوا فإن الحكم القادم هو أسوء، وسيضاعف الفساد كيفاً وكما، في جميع شؤون حياتكم الخاصة منها والعامة، وسيعم الفساد البلاد والعباد.
واعلموا أن أمة الإسلام كلها معكم في انتفاضتكم هذه، وإنكم لن تفكوا قيودكم فحسب وإنما ستحررون باقي شعوب الدول العربية من طغمة الفساد والظلم والاستبداد، وإن آمال الأمة معلقة عليكم، فكونوا كما يُنظر لكم ولا تحبطوا إخوانكم، فكما أن أمل الطغاة من مبارك البقاء في الحكم لئلا يأتي الدور عليهم، فإن أمل الشعوب بكم هو خلعه واجتثاثه من جذوره وإزاحته عن الحكم لكي يأتي دورهم، فخروجهم من عدمه مرهون بنجاحكم في إسقاط مبارك من عدمه.
وإلى مشايخ وعلماء مصر نقول إن الأمر قد بلغ مبلغه وأنه لا مصيبة أعظم لشعبكم من أن تتخلوا عنه وتخذلوه وهو في أشد الحاجة إلى نصرتكم وإنه لا رخصة مستصاغة لكتمان الحق أو تأخير بيانه الآن إذ أن تأخير البيان في وقت الحاجة إثم أعظم، أزيلوا حيرة المتحير وتردد المتردد، ولا تجعلوا القوم يشعرون بأن مسألة وجوب خلع هذا الطاغية كأنها مسألة خلافية {الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالاتِ اللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ وَلا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَداً إِلَّا اللَّهَ} فإذا تكلم العالم تقية والجاهل يجهل فمتى يعرف الناس الحق.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Regarding the Safety of the Detained Mujāhidīn in Guantánamo Prison"

According to a report by credible sources, the prominent Jihadi commander of Nangarhar province, Moalim Awal Gul embraced martyrdom on Wednesday last due to bestiality of the American rulers. “We are creatures of Allah and return to Him (eventually).”
It is now one year since the issuance of decree by the figurehead president of America, Barack Obama, concerning the closure of the Guantanamo Prison but it is still operative. Hundreds of Mujahideen have been suffering in the prison in a very brutal environ for the past nine years without any legal justification. On the one hand, the prisoners are deprived of their basic rights of life but, on the other hand, they have borne the brunt of the callous and inhumane conduct of the American jailers during the past nine years. The indictments have not been proved against them as yet. They are deprived of the right to have access to lawyers to defend them. Hundred of times,s the American ruler resorted to the use of weapon against the prisoners whenever they staged strikes for obtainment of their legitimate rights. The martyrdom of the eminent commander Moalim Awal Gul at the hands of the Americans in Guantanamo Prison is a clear indicator of the American violation of all national and international agreements and covenants and portrays their brutal behavior with the detainees in this illegitimate prison.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls on all so-called Heads of the judiciaries of the White House and the coalition countries to stop torturing the prisoners of the Islamic Emirate and end violation of their human rights. Otherwise, the responsibility will rest with your military and judicial chiefs, should the Islamic Emirate have to take any step in response to your brutality. Similarly, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan strongly urges all global organizations of human rights and of prisoners’ rights advocacy entities to fulfill their humanitarian responsibility as regards the prevention of the bestiality of the brutal Americans against prisoners in Guantanamo and in other Americans prisons.

New video message from the Amīr of the Caucasus Emirate Dokku Umarov: "Visiting the Base of the Riyāḍ us-Ṣāliḥīn Martyrs Brigade"
UPDATE 2/24 7:58 AM: Here is an English translation of the below video message:
Emir Abu Usman (aka Dokku Umarov): I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, in the name of Allah the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah the Creator of the Worlds and peace and blessings be on upon His prophet (pbuh) and his family and companions and those who follow him on the true path. Peace and blessings be upon all the holy warriors who are following the footsteps of our Prophet (pbuh) today. Today, I am visiting a base of the Martyr Brigade Riyad-us-Saliheen, with our brother Khamzat, the Emir of this brigade, praise be to Allah Who allowed in His mercy for us to meet. I want to say some words which will give you an idea why these special operations are carried out and why we are compelled to carry out such operations. The blame for the suffering of these people does not fall on us but on Putin, the enemy of God. We all can see this lawlessness that is being committed today, in the Caucasus in the first place. We also observe that this same lawlessness is now being committed in Russia. This lawlessness is staged on purpose because Russia is cheating, hampering and deceiving its people in Russia’s obligations before it. That is why they carry out such provocations in order to direct the people’s anger at something else. We observe that the infidels, Russia, occupied the Caucasus and made it its testing ground and an experimental base. They make experiments on the lives of Muslims, kill them, bury them alive, they do what they want with them, everything what they need for their experiments and their scientific works. But that is too little for them, they set their dogs on those Muslims, on those Caucasian brothers who are now forced to live on the territory of Russia, in Moscow, Leningrad and other cities. These dogs attack the Caucasians in large numbers. Therefore, the Caucasians are forced to defend themselves. That is how they create propaganda and try to set on the Caucasians the anger of their human cattle. Therefore we are forced to respond to this lawlessness, although what we do is not lawlessness, because, God willing, that is called a special operation. We sacrifice our life while carrying out the special operation. Today, I am weeping. Why? Because, we, the Emirs, are forced to send out the best of the best from among us on special operations. So I am simply weeping because our brother leaves this world before me. But praise be to God, I am happy for him inside me because this world is worth of leaving it. So we are forced to act, to carry out these special operations. This special operation will be carried out exactly against those people who attack the Caucasians and mock at the Caucasians, and try to manifest their hatred to our Muslim brothers being instigated by Putin and his pack of dogs. You are to manifest this hatred first of all to your authorities and demand from them that they leave the Caucasus . And we will never visit Russia, and will never see your faces because we manage without doing that. If you swallow in silence this fraud that Putin and his dogs offer you, we are forced to try to awaken you with our actions. If this is not enough, then God willing, more strikes will follow. I can say with absolute confidence that if it is the Almighty’s will and if God’s mercy is upon us, then we will make this year a year of blood and tears for you. That is why I ask those citizen whose heads are not filled with garbage to awake and to understand what we are striving for, so that they understand who exactly is responsible for this massacre, for blood, for tears that we are now forced to sacrify . We now establish the word of God, God willing, and our blood, and our tears, all that is justified and paid for. And your blood, and your tears, all that throws you in fire, believe me. In conclusion, I would like to say again that I will not tell you that we have hundreds prepared for martyrdom, but that 50 to 60 of them will be found, God willing. Depending on your reaction, depending on your actions, these operations, God willing, will be carried out monthly, weekly, as often as God allows us. May God reward you with Greatness and my last supplication is to praise God, the Lord of the worlds. The Emir of Riyad-us-Saliheen, Khamzat, will also add a few words for you. Emir Khamzat: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, in the name of Allah the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful, peace and blessings be upon the Messenger (pbuh) of Allah. I have nothing to add except to ask God to accept my prayer for our brother that we are sending out. We do not send him out because he is superfluous. But since the Russian commanders here, Putin and other like him who establish order in the Caucasus, are lawless, and they do everything they wish and you sit silently in Russia, we do that not just in order to kill somebody or to spill some blood – we simply want that you to understand that it won’t do that we bleed and you drink milk. You’d better come to senses and start thinking and ask your higher-ups, who hide behind your backs and call us various names – terrorists, Islamists and name their actions in the Caucasus as “anti-terrorist operations.” You have to think about that and not lash out at us, at our Caucasian people, but you should ask your high commanders. We send out our brother with bitterness because he is leaving us, God willing, we will pray for him that his expedition is for the good of Islam and that the word of God is supreme. Praise be to God! May peace be with you and the mercy and blessing of God be upon you. Emir Abu Usman: And now we give word to our brother. First of all, I wish with trembling in my soul, and I pray the Almighty to accept our brother in the circle of the Prophet (pbuh) and that he waits for us in paradise and, God willing, God will judge according to intentions. And the intentions of our brother are sincere. So our brother Seyfullah says a few words. Seyfullah: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds! Peace and blessings be on Muhammad, peace be with you and the mercy and blessing of Allah be upon you. I am a mujahid in the sabotage brigade of Riyad-us-Saliheen under the command of Emir Khamzat and under the command of the supreme Emir Abu Usman. I am preparing for a special operation to carry it out for the sake of God in order to make the word of God supreme on this Earth, and not only in the Caucasus but in the whole world. And so that the infidel, Putin or Medvedev, it makes no difference, so that the infidel, the enemy knows that there are many of us, that after me come other brothers who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of God, to spill their blood to make the word of God supreme. We went out for war for the sake of God, to free our lands from the enemy, from the infidel. And this is my last word. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Peace be with you and the mercy and blessing of God be upon you.—
NOTE: Below is an implicit claim of responsibility from Dokku Umarov for the Domodedovo attacks, which occurred last month. According to the Kavkaz-Jihād Blog, Umarov visited the base of the Riyāḍ us-Ṣāliḥīn Martyrs Brigade and released this video with its amīr named Khamzat and another individual named Sayfullah. Umarov stated he arrived at their base prior to sending Sayfullah on a special task in Russia, most likely referring to the Domodedovo attacks. Here are some key quotes from the below video:
“God willing we will make this year a year [2011] of blood and tears for you [Russia]”
Attacks were a response to “lawlessness” unleashed on the region by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and “his pack of dogs.”
“You better come to your senses and think”
Bombings would go on as long the “crimes committed by the gangs under Putin continued”
