NOTE: This disproves the reports from the TFG that Omar Hammami was killed last month. For a great background on Hammami see the New York Times exposé on him from about a year ago.

Omar Hammami — “Send Me A Cruise”

Omar Hammami — “Make Jihād with Me”

Lyrics for “Send Me A Cruise”:
Chorus:
Send me a cruise like Maa’lam Adam al Ansari
And send me a couple of tons like Zarqawi
And send me a drone like Abu Layth al Libi
And Special Forces like Saalih an Nabhani
Send me all four and send me much much more
I pray for that on my way to heavens door
Send me four and send me more, that what I implore
An amazing martyrdom I strive for and adore
Start:
It’s been decreed no matter what they try
Islam can’t be martyred, defeated and it can’t die
Regardless the Kuffar and the Munafiqeen,
Islams only got one choice and that is victory
Stand up heroes of Islam o Mujahideen
Keep moving forward for Allah’s word to reign supreme
Respond to the calls of the oppressed and improvise
You’ve been promised two possibilities in life
It ain’t do or die, it’s do or paradise
Victory in this life or forever delight
You think we die but no it’s a lie
In the bellies of green birds soaring through paradise
Our killed are in the highest place
While yours are in disgrace
Our killed roam their gardens and mansions
With the purest mates
So train those marines hard, one shot one kill
Headshots heart shots, for them it’s a big thrill
A moment’s joy, but me I’m filled with happiness
Meeting my Lord, faced forward to eternal bliss
There’s nothing as sweet as the taste of a tank shell
But it could be compared to being where the mortar fell
But all that could be seen as tasteless
Compared to smart bombs falling when they don’t miss
It was a beautiful day, when that predator paradise missile sent me on my way
A one way ticket with no stops or delays, no problems in the grave nor fear on that day
Or better yet send me a cruise, and send me on a cruise
Family rejoices at the news and follows me in what I do
You can’t find someone more happy than a shaheed
He got everything but one thing he requests and pleads
To come back and fight and fight and be killed
And keep coming back and getting killed if only Allah willed
But we don’t need that, the youth are coming and bold
Every martyr being replaced by 100 fold
So you must admit that you are falling fast
And need to act quick to submit or face more wrath
But if not don’t fear we’re coming forth
Generations taking Jihad as their favorite sport
Killing the oppressors and being killed in the process
The most beautiful end but how can I express
I profess and strive against those who oppress and transgress
I obsess not depress for martyrdom success

/ بيانٌ مُلحقٌ عن غزوة تكريت المباركة / يقول تعالى: {قَالُوا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا اليَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ مُلَاقُو اللهِ كَمْ مِنْ فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَاللهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ} [البقرة من الآية:249] الحمد لله ربّ العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين.. وبعد: فاستدراكاً للبيان الذي صدر عن تفاصيل غزوة التّحدي في مدينة تكريت والذي صيغَ اعتماداً على ما وصلنا من تفاصيل الخطة قبيل وأثناء الغزوة، وبعد انقشاع غبار الملحمة التي خلعت قلوب الكفّار وأطارت عقولهم، وصلتنا معلومات جديدة وثّقها المُشرفون على الغزوة بعد التّعديل على بعض مراحلها، فنبشّر المسلمين الذين فرحوا بنصر المجاهين بأنّ الذي نفّذ الغزوة بالكامل من اقتحام الأطواق الأمنيّة وتصفية رؤوس الكفر وانصارهم وحرق أوكارهم لم يكونوا خمسة كما ذكرنا، بل إثنان من شباب الإسلام تعاهدا على الموت نُصرةً لإخوانهم في سجون المرتدّين، نعم يا أشباه الرّجال، إنّ الذي اقتحم حِصنكم ودمّر أمنكم وحصد رؤوسكم وصدّ المئات من قوّاتكم وتحدّى طائراتكم لم يكن ثلاثين ولا عشرين ولا عشرة كما ذكرت وسائل الإعلام بل ولا خمسة كما ذكرنا اعتماداً على الخطّة الأصليّة المرسومة للغزوة، إنّما اثنان من أولياء الله ثبّتهما الله وأيدهما بجنده وأجرى على أيديهما كرامات ستُكتب بماء الذّهب وتبقى منارة تضيء الطّريق لمن بعدهم، وقد تأكد لدينا أنّ اللّيثان قاما بعد الاشتباك مع قوة الحماية الرئيسيّة بالسّيطرة على الطابق الأول من المقر وتأمينه بالكامل بعد أن خلع تكبيرهم قلوب الكفار فصاروا يفرّون في غرف المبنى لا يلوون على شيء، وقفز من قويت أرجله على حمل جسده من طوابق المبنى بعد ان خلعوا ملابسهم العسكرية، وتمّ فصل عوامّ النّاس المتواجدين عرضاً في المبنى وإخراجهم واحتجاز من كان فيه من أعضاء المجلس ومعاونيهم وقيادات الأجهزة الأمنيّة ومجرمي صحوات النّفاق وعناصر الحماية الشّخصية الخاصّة بهم، فتمّ ولله الحمد تدمير الأهداف المرسومة في خطّة الاقتحام بالكامل وتنفيذ حكم الله في جميع هؤلاء المرتدّين المحاربين لله ولرسوله وللمؤمنين، قبل ان تُستكمل الملحمة بالاشتباك مع القوّات التي ملأت المناطق المحيطة بالمجمّع وعلى التفصيل المذكور في البيان السابق، ولله الحمد والمنّة والفضل… قال تعالى: {إِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى المَلَائِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الأَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ}[الأنفال:12]. والله أكبر {وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ} وزارة الإعلام / دولة العراق الإسلامية المصدر : ( مركز الفجر للإعلام )

Check out my new post at al-Wasat: "AQIM Statement Hoax?"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Last night, Tout sur l’Algérie published an article titled “Aqmi affirme que ses éléments ont été tués dans ce raid” (“AQIM confirms that its members were killed in raid”). The article stated that they received through anonymous sources a new statement from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb that said that some of AQIM’s fighters were killed in an accidental NATO airstrike on rebels this past Friday. Although it is quite possible that this occurred, there is reason to be skeptical. First, the statement has still not been released to the forums (at least sixteen hours have passed). I also do not recall a time when AQIM released a statement to anonymous sources in the past. Second, the article provided a screen shot of the top of the statement and it did not conform to the normal style, color, and font of previous AQIM statements.

Screen shot of Tout sur l’Algérie’s screen shot of AQIM’s statement

The top part with the black text (the basmallah) and the golden text (AQIM’s name in Arabic) are normal. The green text below it, though, is where the authenticity of the statement comes into question. In the past, AQIM has never used that font or green color for its statement titles. Rather they have used red. Here are some examples of previous officially released AQIM statements:
