New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Qārī' Muḥammad Yusuf Aḥmadī: "Remarks Regarding the Attack on the ICRC in Jalalabad"


Everybody is aware that the Islamic Emirate began and is continuing its struggle and Jihad in light of Islamic principles and humanitarian values. The Islamic Emirate has never not only targeted civilians and those who truly work for the benefit of the people without having ties with intelligence organizations but it has always helped them to the best of its ability for the sake of the relief of its nation, an example of which is a recent statement in which it declared its full support for polio vaccination campaign.
Therefore the Islamic Emirate wants to make it clear to everyone that it had no hand in the attack on 8th May on the ICRC office in Jalalabad city and neither does it support such attacks.

al-Murābiṭīn Foundation for Media Production presents a new statement from Jamā’at at-Tawḥīd wa-l-Jihād Fī Gharb Ifrīqīyyā: "The Outcome of the Recent Military Operations"

UPDATE 6/2/13 3:55 PM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic statement:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Gao martyrdom seeking operation
The car bomb loaded with more than one ton of explosive materials and a motorcycle bomb targeted a military convoy of the Malian army that was combing north of the city of Gao.

The operation was conducted by Abu Hamza Al-Sahrawi and Abu Al-Bara Al-Fulani and many of the Tawagit soldiers were killed in it as well as many wounded.
Menaka martyrdom seeking operation
A car bomb targeted a military barricade in the city of Ménaka that includes units of the army of Niger and the army of Mali.
The operation was conducted by the martyrdom seekerNureddin Al-Togi from Niger and the sound of the explosion in the barricade was heard from a far distance also the locals of the area neighboring the city informed what suggest that the targeted armies have suffered from huge losses in lives and equipment.

Gossi city operation
Four martyrdom seekers with explosive belts stormed the headquarters of the pagan gendarmerie present in the area.

In this storming several personal of the Malian army were killed as well as several wounded who filled the Gao city hospital.

Military operation against the agent National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad
One of the companies of the Jamaat attacked units from the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) the agent of France in an area near the city of Ménaka which is located in the south east of the Azawad region.

This operation resulted in the death of the elements of that agent movement and seizing weapons, ammunition and motorcycles.
Anefif operation against the agent of France MNLA
The mujahidin attacked the strategic Anefif region which is one of the important cities after the city of Kidal which is still controlled by the agent movement that is present in Anefif and spreads terror and fear among the ordinary Muslims and pursue them and loot their properties and displace them from the city and its vicinities and it wasn’t satisfied by that when it began to execute the ordinary Muslims without mercy or sympathy.

And Allah have prepared the mujahidin the knights of the Tawhid and Jihad to scare away this corrupt band and several of them were killed and the rest the elements of the agent movement ran away which hastened to ask for the help of France and demand support from the city of Kidal where the leaders of the agent movement are present.

Niger martyrdom seeking operation
The operation targeted the military barricade in the city of Agadez the biggest city in north east Niger and the Uranium factory in the city of Arlit.
The operation was conducted by coordination between the Jamaat Al-Tawhid wa Al-Jihad in West Africa and the Signatories with Blood Brigade.
The operation made Niger and France suffer from considerable human and material losses when the martyrdom seeker detonated his car bomb inside the military barricade in the city of Agadez which inflicted a large number of dead and wounded to be followed after that by an attack by several martyrdom seeking brothers with their explosive belts which led to the detention of several officers of the Niger army.
While the martyrdom seeker Jaffar and the martyrdom seeker Khubayb Al-Tamashaqi detonated their car bomb inside the Uranium factory of the French company Areva which led to the destruction of the company and it stopped working.
And this operation comes as a support for our brothers in Nigeria and we attacked Niger because of its cooperation with France in the war against the Sharia.
وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين
ولله العزة ولرسوله وللمؤمنيــن

؛؛ عمليـة غاوو الأستشهادية ؛؛

إستهدفت سيارة مفخخة محملة بأكثر من طـن من المواد المتفجرة ودراجة مفخخة رتلآ عسكريآ للجيش المالي كان يقوم بتمشيط شمال مدينة غاوو ..
العملية نفذها الاستشهاديان ابو حمزة الصحراوي وأبو البراء الفلاني
وقد قتل فيها العديد من جنود الطواغيت بالأضافة الى الكثير من الجرحى

؛؛ عمليـة منكـا الأستشهادية ؛؛

إستهدفت سيارة مفخخة ثكنة عسكرية في مدينة منكا تضم وحدات من جيش النيجر وجيش مالي
العملية نفذها الإستشهادي نور الدين التوجي من النيجر حيث سمع دوي الإنفجار في الثكنة من مسافات بعيدة كما أفاد أهالي المنطقة المجاورة للمدينة
مما يوحي أن الجيوش المستهدفة قد تكبدت خسائر كبيرة في الأرواح والمعدات

؛؛ عمليـة مدينة غوسِ ؛؛

إقتحم اربعة من الأستشهاديين بأحزمتهم الناسفة مقر للدرك الوثني المالي المتواجد في المنطقة
قتل أثناء هذا الاقتحام عدد من الجيش المالي بالأضافة الى عدد من الجرحى التي امتلأت منها مشفى مدينة غاوو

؛؛ عملية عسكرية ضد الحركة الوطنية لتحرير أزواد العميلة ؛؛
هاجمت احدى السرايا التابعة للجماعة وحدات تابعة للحركة الوطنية لتحرير أزواد العميلة لفرنسا في منطقة قرب مدينة منيكا التي تقع في الجنوب الشرقي لمنطقة أزواد
هذه العملية اسفرت عن قتل عناصر لهذه الحركة العميلة وغنم أسلحة وذخائر ودراجات نارية ..

؛؛ عمليـة أنفيف ضد الحركة الوطنية لتحرير أزواد العميلة لفرنسا ؛؛

هاجم المجاهدون منطقة أنفيف الاستراتيجية وهي إحدى المدن المهمة بعد مدينة كيدال
التي لا زال تسيطر عليها الحركة العميلة المتواجدة في أنفيف على بث الرعب والخوف وسط المسلمين البسطاء
ومطاردتهم وسلب ممتلكاتهم وتهجيرهم من المدينة وضواحيها
وبـل لم تكتفي بهذا فقط حيث أقبلت على أعدام عوام من المسلمين دون رحمة أو شفقة
وقد هيأ الله المجاهدين فرسان التوحيد والجهاد لتشريد بهذه الشرذمة المفسدة حيث تم قتل عدد منهم وفرار باقي عناصر الحركة العميلة
التي سارعت الى الاستنجاد بفرنسا وطلب الدعم من مدينة كيدال حيث يتواجد قادة الحركة العميلة

؛؛ عمليــة النيجر الإستشهادية ؛؛

العملية التي استهدفت ثكنة عسكرية بمدينة أكداز كبرى المدن في الشمال الشرقي للنيجر ومصنع اليورانيوم بمدينة أرليـت
العملية : جرى التنسيق لها بيـن جماعة التوحيد والجهاد في غرب افريقيا وكتيبـة الموقعون بالدماء
العملية كبدت النيجر وفرنسا خسائر بشرية ومادية معتبرة
حيث فجر الأستشهادي سلمان الصحراوي سيارته المفخخة داخل الثكنة العسكرية بمدينة أكداز التي أوقعت عدد كبير من القتلى والجرحى
ليعقبه بعد ذلك هجوم قام به عدد من الأخوة الأنغماسيين بأحزمتهم الناسفة أدى الى أحتجاز عدد من ضباط جيش النيجر
في قام الأستشهادي جعفر والأستشهادي خبيب التماشقي بتفجير سيارتهم المفخخة داخل مصنع اليورانيوم التابع للشركة الفرنسية أريـفا
وهوما أدى الى تدمير المصنع وتوقفه عن العمـل.
وتأتي هذه العمليـة مناصرة لأاخواننا في نيجيريا و وضربُنالنيجر بسبب تعاونها مع فرنسا في الحرب على الشريعة
وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين
ولله العزة ولرسوله وللمؤمنيــن
جماعة التوحيـد والجهاد في غرب أفريقيا
مؤسسة المرابطـين للأنتاج الأعلامي
