NOTE: This was originally released through al-Jazeera Arabic TV yesterday. This statement is a follow up to AQIM’s statement this past November by their amīr Abū Muṣ’ab ‘Abd al-Wadūd (‘Abd al-Malik Drūkdīl) titled “Any Negotiations For French Hostages Must Be Conducted With Bin Lāden Himself.” Additionally, UBL’s last release was about the French hostages as well, which came out in late October titled “A Letter for the People of France.” Here are some key quotes from the below audio:
President Nicolas Sarkozy’s refusal to remove his forces from Afghanistan is nothing but a green light to kill the French hostages. But we will not do that at the time that he determines to try and finish off with the repercussions of his position, which will cost him dearly inside and outside of France.
We repeat the same message to you: The release of your prisoners in the hands of our brothers is linked to the withdrawal of your soldiers from our countries, its doubt and budget deficit does not need a new front.
As one can see, UBL provides AQIM with sanction to kill hostages if they would like at a time of their choosing. In the tape UBL also gives permission for attacks inside and outside France. As such, it would not be surprising to see more attempted plots and/or attacks against France in the near future.

As-Saḥāb Media releases new audio message from Usāmah Bin Lāden: “From Usāmah Bin Lāden to the French People”

NOTE: This new media outlets purpose according to the announcement is to translate Arabic language statements and video messages into Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Pashto, and Farsi. The name of the media outlet has significance in Islamic history. During the Battle of Qādisīyyah (معركة القادسيّة) it pitted the newly formed and what would later be described as the “Rāshidūn Caliphate” (الخلفاء الراشدون), which was led by the second Caliph ‘Umar bin Khaṭāb against the Sassanid Persian Empire led by Rostam Farrakhzād in the city of Qādisīyyah, which is located in what is today Iraq. This battle lasted three days from November 16 – 19 in 636 CE. The Muslims were victorious and it led to the annexation or as described in the Islamic literature the “opening (conquest)” (فتح) of Iraq into the Islamic empire. This paved the way for the nascent Islamic empire to conquer Sindh as the online jihadists describe below in their explanation for their reasoning of using this name.
