Three new statements from al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

UPDATE 2: The Anṣār al-Mujāhidīn English Forum has translated al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula’s statement “Defending the Muslims in Lawdar”:

Praise be to Allah, who said: “Verily Allah will defend (from ill) those who believe: verily, Allah loveth not any that is a traitor to faith, or show ingratitude” [Al-Hajj: 38]. Prayers and peace upon the one who was sent with the sword and mercy to the people who know. He said: “The Muslim should be a brother to the Muslim. He shouldn’t oppress him or turn him over. Whoever needs his brother; Allah is behind that need. Whoever relieves a Muslim in distress; Allah will relieve him of the distress of Judgment Day.” Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, his family and upon his Companions.
On Thursday, the ninth of the blessed month of Ramadan 1431 H (corresponding to August 19th 2010), soldiers of the apostate force belonging to the brigade located in northeast Lodar in Abyan Province, attacked peaceful Muslims in the Lodar Market. This occurred after a conflict between some of the soldiers and some residents of the city. This brutal military force terrorized the Muslims and indiscriminately opened fire on them with heavy weapons. The Mujahideen confronted them, and the results of the first day were four soldiers killed, destruction and burning of a set of military equipment and the neutralization of two military patrols. They also plundered a number of automatic weapons. This occurred before Iftar.
The army indiscriminately bombed the city marketplace and its homes, which resulted in two Muslims being killed and two others being wounded.
The next day, Friday afternoon, a military force belonging to Central Security entered Lodar to subdue the Muslims there, and the Mujahideen opposed them. A military armored vehicle was burned and destroyed with soldiers inside it, a set of military equipment was burned and a number of automatic weapons were captured, as a well as a 12.7 mm Dushka. Sixteen Central Security soldiers were killed. They launched a criminal campaign to indiscriminately bomb the city, and the bombing lasted for about an hour.
Military reinforcements arrived on the third day and focused on the entry to Lodar. The Mujahideen, with the help of Allah, attacked them at 3:00 in the morning. The results of the battle included the destruction of a number of vehicles and tanks. More than 30 of the tyrant’s soldiers were killed and dozens were injured. The Mujahideen safely returned to their bases.
We confirm that the Yemeni government is lying when it claims that it has control of Lodar. This is their habit after every one of their defeats. We also proclaim good news to our Muslim Ummah that its Mujahid vanguard in Lodar, Abyan remains gloriously powerful, thanks to the Exulted Allah. Not even one Mujahid was killed or captured as of the writing of this statement. No brother has received even the slightest wound.

{“And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs;
But most among mankind know it not”}
Pray for your brothers the Mujahideen

News Yemen reports that al-Qā’idah in Abyan (AQAP) circulated statement denying members were arrested or surrendered

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Here are the key points from the News Yemen article:

Al-Qaeda in Yemen has distributed a proclamation in Zinjibar city of Abyan province under the name of “Mujahideen in the Arabian Peninsula,” denying “allegations” of the security authorities that they have arrested 10 al-Qaeda fighters in Lawder, according to News Yemen correspondent in Abyan.
The statement, which was distributed for some mosques, markets and shops in the city, denied press reports that seven members of al-Qaeda were killed and others surrendered to the security authorities in Abyan.
The statement described reports as “media campaign to deform the reputation of al-Qaeda amongst people,” confirming that al-Qaeda still controls the situation in Lawder and mujahideen remain strong,” according to the correspondent of News Yemen in Zinjibar.
The statement called upon what he called their fellow Muslims not to get information from the official media and to get it from “truthful brothers and Mujahideen’s websites on the internet like Al-Fajr Media Center and the network of supporters of the Mujahideen and the Fallujah blog and others.”
The proclamation said that the state of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, it labeled him as “black Ansi”, has launched military and media campaigns against Mujahideen with assistance of U.S. spy planes, asserting that Mujahideen will continue jihad against the “enemies of the religion.”

al-Malāḥim Media presents a new audio message from Shaykh Abū Sufyān al-Azdī (Sa'īd al-Shehrī), deputy leader al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula: "United to Overthrow Al-Saud"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

UPDATE: Flashpoint Partners released a transcript of Shaykh Abū Sufyān al-Azdī (Sa’īd al-Shehrī) most recent audio message titled: “United to Overthrow Al-Saud.” Here is a brief abstract of the transcript and below it is the entire transcript:

On August 10, 2010, an audiotape featuring Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula  (AQAP) senior commander Sheikh Abu Sufian al-Azdi (a.k.a. Saeed al-Shehri) titled “Together: To Overthrow Al-Saud” was released. Al-Azdi claimed that “the Jews and the apostates from the rulers of the Arabian Peninsula are in an alliance that was formed by America, and Iran and their Arab Shiite supporters in the region are in another alliance…And what is expected is for the war to begin by the Jews against Iran, and the reality of the battle will be in the land of the Peninsula and the ash-Sham [Middle East]: the Jews in the ash-Sham and Iran in the Peninsula.” Calling for the overthrow of the Saudi government, al-Azdi requested support from “those who belong to the military air-force, or officials in weapons storages, or officials in the army or the interior, or centers of operation and media rooms.” Specifically, he asked those who work “in the Ministry of Interior and who can bring important information that may benefit the mujahideen in assigning their targets—like houses and roads and the officer of Ministry of Interior officials—then he must send it to us via the military email that belongs to the [al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula] Organization.” And al-Azdi urged “any of you who is a pilot should search of martyrdom above the skies of Palestine, and any of you who work in the navy should point his weapon against the Jews there and receive the honor of martyrdom…”

NOTE: Sa’īd al-Shehrī is of Saudi background and was one of the first prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, arriving January 21, 2002. He spent six years in Guantánamo prior to being repatriated to Saudi Arabia and enrolled in their rehabilitation program. Afterwards, he went to Yemen and has since been considered the deputy leader of al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula. It was reported this past December that al-Shehrī was killed in a drone strike and then in January 2010 was captured by the Yemeni government. All these claims were false, though, since al-Shehrī later released an audio message denying allegations that he was dead.

Two new statements from al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

UPDATE: UneditedEnglish language translation of the Arabic statements below.

Qaa’idah Al-Jihad in the Arabian Peninsula

Statement regarding storming a military security center and killing all of them in the province of Shabwa

All praise be to Allah who says: {O you who believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness,And know that Allah is with the righteous} and may the peace and blessing be upon the Cheerful Fighter who said” I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah“
A group belonging to the brigades of the martyred Shaikh Mohamed Omair – May Allah have mercy on him – raided one of the central military security points in Shabwa province which resulted in the killing of 6 soldiers of tyranny, within the series of “Eliminating Evil” to purge the Arabian Peninsula from the agents of America. This happened on Saturday, the thirteenth of Sha’ban, 1431 H.A, before sunset prayers.

The martyrs in this operation are, with the permission of Allah, Shaikh Zayed Ahmed Awad Aldgari from Abadaan district in the province of Shabwa, and his martyred companion Osama Ahmed Ali San’aani Hafd Allah from the Tawrah village in the province of Sanaa. May Allah have mercy on them. They were killed after they and their brothers attacked the soldiers of injustice and aggression.
We want to show our Islamic nation what causes us to target the soldiers of the tyrannical leader Ali Saleh:
1 – These soldiers are the striking hand of the agent Ali Saleh and they are the ones who support the pillars of this unjust government.
2 – They are the ones who raid the homes of the mujahideen fighters, kill peaceful Muslims and terrorize women and children, as what happened with the martyred Shaikh Abdullah al-Midhar, may Allah have mercy on him.
3 – They are standing with the Crusader campaign against our country. They are the first-line defenders of the Americans who killed our women and children with Cluster bombs and cruise missiles in Al-Mu’ajala in the province of Abyan.
4 – These soldiers are the ones who beat people with their light and heavy weapons and kill innocent people who went out in peaceful demonstrations to remove injustice, as what happened in Abyan, Dali’h, laHaj, Aden, al-Mukalla and Sana’a.
5 – They are the ones who killed women and children and destroyed Masajid and homes on the heads of the residents in Marib, Dali’h, in order to humiliate the sons of the Muslim nation, undermine their dignity and subjugate Muslims to join the crusader campaign in the region.
And from here we emphasize the following:
1 – Ali Saleh and his government and his soldiers, the injustice ones, are a legitimate target for us. Only if they repent to Allah will they not be targeted.
2 – Anyone who stands with Ali Saleh and his government, and with the crusader campaign against the Muslim nation is an enemy to us and is a legitimate target for us.
3 – We are striving to implement the law of Allah, prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere, build up the Islamic Caliphate on the methodology of the Prophet, expel the polytheists from the peninsula of the Prophet Mohammed, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family, lift the injustice and oppression from the people, and establish truth, justice and security among the people under the law of the Merciful one.

Qaa’idah Al-Jihad in the Arabian Peninsula

Statement regarding the killing of 6 soldiers in an ambush on their patrol near the city of Ataq in Shabwa

All praise be to Allah who says: {Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you to victory over them, heal the breasts of the Believers} (Surat At-Tawbah 9:14) And may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Cheerful Fighter who said, “I have been made victorious with terror in one month’s time.”

A group belonging to the brigades of Shaikh Mohammad Omair Al-Awlaki R.A managed, by the grace of Allah alone, to execute a coordinated ambush on a military patrol as part of the “Eliminating Evil” operations. The operation resulted in the killing of an officer and five soldiers of tyranny from the central security forces. The Mujahideen took 4 machine guns and 2 cartridges of ammunition as spoils of war. This happened in the city of ‘Ataq, the capital of Shabwa. The operation was carried out on Thursday 1431 A.H at 3 O’clock before dawn prayers, and with the grace of Allah, the Mujahideen returned safely and victorious.

New statement from al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula: "Regarding the storming of political security building in Aden"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

NOTE: al-Qā’idah (AQ) has been in Yemen since the late 1990s. As is well known AQ operatives struck the USS Cole in October of 2000. Following that attack and 9/11, the United States and Yemen worked together to suppress and eliminate al-Qā’idah in Yemen or al-Qā’idah in Southern Arabia as they were called then. This mission was successful and by November 2003 that generation of al-Qā’idah members was for all intents and purposes eliminated.
Following the above successes, though, the United States, along with Yemen, took their eyes off preventing a rise in a new generation of al-Qā’idah activists in Yemen. Consequently, in February 2006, twenty-three al-Qā’idah terrorists, including the mastermind of the 2000 USS Cole bombing, escaped from a Yemeni prison.  National security experts have claimed this event as the date when al-Qā’idah’s presence in Yemen started to rise again. Within months of the escape al-Qā’idah was responsible for attacks on oil and gas facilities and culminated in September of 2008 with its attempt to bomb the US Embassy.
Along with the prison escape another important factor behind al-Qā’idah’s reemergence in Yemen is due to the successful counterterrorism efforts by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As a result, many Saudi al-Qā’idah members fled to Yemen. This led in January of 2009 for the two groups, al-Qā’idah in Yemen and al-Qā’idah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to merge into what it is now referred to as al-Qā’idah in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). AQAP has shown it is a force to be reckoned with by its attempted assassination of Saudi Arabia’s Prince Muḥammad bin Nāyef as well as attempts to smuggle weapons into KSA dressed as women and assassinating key local leaders in southern Yemen. Furthermore, AQAP has been linked to the failed Christmas Day attack attempted by ‘Umar Fārūk ‘Abd  al-Muṭallab. AQAP claims they went forth with this attack as a response to the US’ cruise missile attacks against AQ assets on December 17 and 24.
