NOTE: Yesterday, an unknown group released a video showing that they kidnapped the Italian as a means to get HAMAS to release their amīr, Abū al-Walid al-Maqdisī who has been imprisoned since the beginning of March. After it was originally believed that Jamā’at Tawḥīd wal-Jihād was behind the video, they released a statement denying any involvement. Therefore, it is not clear yet who was behind the kidnapping or video if one takes Jamā’at Tawḥīd wal-Jihād’s word.

يقول تعالى: { قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى اللَّهُ بُنْيَانَهُمْ مِنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ}[النحل: 26]. الحمد لله ربّ العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين.. وبعد:
فاستمراراً لسلسلة غزوات التّحدّي المُباركة، وردّاً على الجرائم التي ارتكبت في سجن تسفيرات تكريت بحقّ الأسرى المُستضعفين من أهل السّنة فيها على أيدي مجرمي الأجهزة الأمنيّة لهذه المحافظة، والذي تمّ بعلمٍ وإشرافٍ وغطاءٍ من محافظها وأعضاء مجلسها، وجّهت وزارة الحرب بدولة العراق الإسلاميّة المفارز الأمنيّة في ولاية صلاح الدّين بتوجيه ضربة مناسبة تُعيد لهؤلاء بعض رُشدهم، وتدفعُ عن المُسلمين المُستضعفين غيّهم..
فكان الهدف المُنتخب مجمع الشّر وقلب النّظام الأمني في مركز المحافظة، والذي صار مخلباً متقدّماً للحكومة الرافضيّة في البطش بالمُسلمين وحرب المُجاهدين، ممهّداً للزّحف الصّفوي على هذه الولاية السّنية العزيزة، بتواطؤٍ واتفاقٍ مع حكومة المنطقة الخضراء وعملاءهم خونة الدّين، عبيد الدّرهم والدّينار المحسوبين على أهل السّنة..
وبعد اختيار الهدف نذرَ خمسةٌ من أولياء الله وأسد الإسلام أنفسهم لإيصال هذه الرّسالة التي خُطّت بالدّم، فتبايعوا على الموت وانقطعوا عن الدّنيا يعدّون أنفسهم ويتضرّعون إلى الله أن يوفّقهم في الثأر لإخوانهم، ونحسبهم صدقوا الله فصدقهم وسدّد رميهم…
وبدأت العمليّة باقتحام مجمّع الخسّة والدّياثة من قبل الإخوة في سيّارة مفخّخة رُكنت مدخل المجمّع، وما أن نزل الأسود حتى انغمس أوّلهم في جمعٍ من الضّباط وعناصر الحماية الذين تجمهروا مستَنفَرين في هذا اليوم مفجّراً حزامه الناسف فيهم، مضحّياً بنفسه رخيصة في سبيل الله، وليفتح الطّريق لإخوته الذين استغلّوا ذهول عناصر الحماية والرّعب الذي خلع قلوبهم، فاخترقوا الأطواق الأمنيّة مشتبكين مع الحرس بالأسلحة الخفيفة والرمّانات اليدويّة حتى يسّر الله لهم دخول المبنى الرئيسي، ولتبدأ ملحمةٌ جديدة سطّرها جنود الدّولة الإسلاميّة…
فما أن تجمّعت مفارز الجيش والشرطة وعناصر الحماية القريبة من المدخل الرئيسي حتى انفجرت السّيارة المفخّخة التي أدّت مع الحزام الناسف والاشتباك الأوّلي لهلاك العشرات من القوات الأمنيّة المكلّفة بحماية المجمّع، قام اللّيوث بعدها بالسّيطرة على المقر وتأمين منافذه بالكامل، واحتجاز من كان فيه من أعضاء المجلس ومعاونيهم وقيادات الأجهزة الأمنيّة ومجرمي صحوات النّفاق الذين اجتمعوا لحرب دين الإسلام وعناصر الحماية الشّخصية الخاصّة بهم، ولم تُغن عن هؤلاء كلّ الإجراءات التي تحصّنوا وراءها لحماية أنفسهم بعد أن ملأ الرّعب قلوبهم وانهارت الأطواق الأمنيّة، وتخلّى عنهم من قويت قدماه على حمل جسده والهروب، تاركينهم للمصير المعروف سلفاً لكلّ عُتلٍّ مجرمٍ يسقط بأيدي المجاهدين، فتمّ ولله الحمد تدمير الأهداف المرسومة في خطّة الاقتحام وتنفيذ حكم الله في هؤلاء المرتدّين المحاربين لله ولرسوله وللمؤمنين.
وليتفرّغ الليوث بعدها لصدّ محاولات الاقتحام التي تجمّعت لتنفيذها مئات من القوات الصّليبيّة والجيش والشرطة وقوّات الطّوارئ وقوات ما يسمّى بمكافحة الإرهاب، مع كلّ عدّتهم وعتادهم وعجلاتهم المُصفّحة وطائراتهم وقنّاصيهم، في مواجهة أربعة من أولياء الله بأسلحتهم الخفيفة وأحزمتهم النّاسفة، واستمرّ الاشتباك بين الفسطاطين قريباً من سبع ساعات، فشل فيها المرتدّون والصّليبيّون من دخولِ المجمّع، وتكّبدوا خسائر فادحة في ثلاث موجات حاولت دخول المبنى، ولم يتمّ لهم ذلك حتى نفد عتاد الإخوة، وجاءت لحظة الوداع والاقبال على دار الخُلد، وأعطى أمير المجموعة أوامره بوقف الاشتباك والكمون في مداخل البناية منتظرين جموع المرتدّين، وليفجّروا أحزمتهم الناسفة فيهم تباعاً ويُهلِكوا المزيد من أولياء الشّيطان، حيث لم يتجرّأ بعدها أحدٌ على دخول البناية حتى تأكّدوا تماماً من خلوّها من الأحياء…

فبعد التوكّل على الله والأخذ بالأسباب المتيسّرة، وضمن سلسلة غزوات التحدّي المباركة التي تستهدف المشروع الصّفوي وأركان حكومته وأسباب قوّته في هذه البلاد، انطلق مُجاهدان من أبناء دولة الإسلام في عمليّتين مباركتين بولايتي صلاح الدّين والأنبار..
أمّا العمليّة الأولى فاستهدفت مقرّ ما يسمّى بقوات الطوارئ في مدينة سامراء، وهي قوّات رافضيّة قذرة يعرفها الناس باسم (فوج طوارئ العمارة)، استقدمتها الحكومة الصّفوية من مدينة العمارة جنوب العراق لتتمركز قرب قصر العاشق شمال سامرّاء، في سعيٍ حثيثٍ لتنفيذ مشروعها الصّفوي المُعلن لتشييع هذه المناطق بحرب أهلها والتّنكيل بهم، وحماية قوافل المُشركين الرافضة المتوجّهة نحو وثن العسكريَيْن في عُقر دار أهل السنّة بسامراء الأبيّة، فكان لها بطلٌ من أبطال الإسلام بالمرصاد، حيث اقتحم بمركبته المفخّخة بناية المقرّ المحصّنة وأدّت قوة التفجير لتدمير جزء كبير من الهيكل ومقتل وإصابة العشرات من هؤلاء الأنجاس ضبّاطاً وجنوداً، وليشفي الله بذلك صدور قومٍ مؤمنين ويذهب بعضاً من غيض قلوبهم ولله الحمد والمنّة..
أمّا الغزوة الثانية فاستهدفت رأساً من رؤوس الكفر والإجرام في مدينة الرّمادي، والمدعو حكمت جاسم زيدان نائب محافظ الأنبار، حيث رابط له ليثٌ من ليوث هذه الولاية العصيّة متربّصا بحزامه الناسف بعد أن تأكّد خبر خروجه من جحره ووصوله المنطقة المرصودة، وما أن لاح المذكور وسط معاونيه وأفراد حمايته حتى انغمس أخونا في الموكب، وأدى التفجير القوي لمقتل وإصابة العشرات بينهم المجرم المُستَهدف، وقد أشاع الفجّار في إعلامهم كذباً وزوراً أنّ التفجير استهدف تجمّعا للمحتفلين بالمولد النّبوي في منطقة 17 تمّوز، وهو كذبٌ مفضوح سارت به فضائيات السّوء كما عوّدتنا لتشويه صورة المجاهدين…
ولا يفوتنا في هذا الموطن أيضاً أن نردّ على مزاعم أخرى جديدة لكذّاب بغداد أطلقها مؤخراً وسط الفوضى والاضطراب الذي تعيشه حكومة السّفهاء بالمنطقة الخضراء هذه الأيّام، حيث زعم الكذّاب مقتل الشيخ المجاهد وزير الحرب بدولة العراق الإسلاميّة حفظه الله، في قصّة لفّقها على عجلٍ وبثّها على استحياءٍ ليضيفها إلى قائمة “انجازات” الحكومة الفاشلة و”بطولات” أجهزتها الأمنيّة، وفي سعي غبيّ معهود للتّغطية على جرائم العصابة الصفويّة وفضائح الفساد الذي أكلَ جسدها والذي أزكمت رائحته النّتنة الأنوف، ودفعت الآلاف للخروج في مسيرات الجمعة رغم محاولات منعها بشتى السّبل…
ونحنُ إذ نبشّر المسلمين أنّ ما ذُكر هو محض أكذوبة رخيصة لا أساس لها من الصحّة، فإننا نقول لهم أنْ ليس في جعبة الأقزام هؤلاء إلا الهُراء والافتراء، وما سينتظرهم في قابل الأيام قد يعيد إليهم بعض رشدهم فيكفّوا عنّا كذّابيهم، وإنّ غداً لناظره قريب..
UPDATE 2/9 7:14 AM: Here is an English translation of AQI’s statement below:
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all that exists, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, the Truthful and Trustworthy, and upon all his family and companions. To proceed:
O’ Muslims of Egypt and those nearby. Asalamu alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakaatuhu.
In the midst of these rapid events taking place in the honored land of “Kinanah (Egypt)”, the huge uproar and the size of the international reaction, and due to the fact that there can be some dangerous results if the true people do not stand for the truth, we present to you some facts which we have noted in summary, which we believe to be part of fulfilling the obligation of supporting [our brothers], implementing the hadeeth of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam, in which he said:
“Religion is sincerity and well-wishing,” thrice. We asked, “To whom?” He said, “To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their masses.”
So we say, seeking help in Allah:
1) Understand well, may Allah have mercy upon you, that Allah created you for His worship and Tawheed, and He has made you successors on earth to establish His Religion, to govern with His Shariah, to rule with His Book, and so His Word reigns supreme and His Religion reigns superior over all other ways of life. Indeed this is the crux of Tawheed of Worship, which is the very reason behind why Allah created, and the goal to which Muslims must give preference over themselves and their belongings. If all Muslims were to be killed in fulfilling this great goal, it is still better for them than to live even one day under the un-Islamic rule of the Taghoot. You are Muslims who Allah has chosen over his creation, has raised your rank by his alliance and protection, and has honored you through His religion. Give this its due rights and bite on to it with your molars. This, by Allah, is the true success in this life and the next.
Do not replace that which is better with that which is worse. Beware of the tricks of un-Islamic ideologies, such as filthy and evil secularism, infidelic democracy, and putrid idolic patriotism and nationalism, all ideologies which are sought by some to govern your land, after the rulers of Egypt made it a grazing field for its proponents, and thus it gaining popularity and them increasing in their evil. Are not most of the dilemmas faced by the Muslim Ummah today due to their empowerment? Be fully aware of reversion and being satisfied with the current state of affairs and seeking ends through [unlawful] means which falsely seem to be advantageous, for this is from the tricks which Satan plays so his followers can steal the fruits [of other’s efforts]. The Believer is intelligent and wise and does not get stung from the same hole twice.
2) Allah has obligated Jihad in Hs Cause upon His monotheist slaves. Fighting the enemies of Allah and repelling them with one’s life and wealth in the current condition of the Ummah today is an individual obligation upon every mature and sane person amongst you. This matter is clear and one which the Muslims have agreed to past and present. Here in your midst has the market of Jihad opened and become easy to reach as it is in your own homeland. The doors of martyrdom have opened, and the sales have been documented by the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. No mature, able-bodied has any excuse to stay behind with those who refrain from making Jihad. Remember that Allah’s commodity is expensive and surrounded by things disliked by human nature. It can not be attained except by those with defiant souls and high motivation…
[poetry]
3) The enemy you are facing is one which is sinful and depraved, who hold no value for either kinship or covenant. They have waged a war against Allah and have ridiculed His religion. They have allied with the enemies of Allah and have inflicted much harm on His believing slaves. They have empowered the depraved, lowly and promiscuous, and have usurped blood, honor and wealth. Their kufr and tyranny has reached its extent. Their day of reckoning and defeat has already or nearly arrived. The Way of Al-Jabbar (The Compeller), Al-Muntaqim (The Avenger) in their regards and the regards of their likes from the Taghoot has come into effect, and this is a gift from Allah which you, O’ people of Tawheed, should show no shortcoming in its regard, nor should you let it slip from your hands. You are the hope of the weak and oppressed, and the vanguard of the Ummah for change and rescue from the darkness of confusion, and blind tunnel of ignorance into which some seek to to force the Ummah for even more decades. You have no other choice, O’ people of Tawheed, in the likes of these times, except to confront, repel, and stand for the truth, so that Islam and its call is empowered over all others, and the flag of Pure Tawheed is raised over the land of Kinanah once again, by Allah’s leave.
[poetry]
4) Organize yourselves, and do all possible to convene. Call each other by phone and gather yourselves and your resources. Try as much as possible to join those who are more experienced in this field, and if it is not possible, organize yourselves into small areas and appoint an Ameer over you from the best of you who all agree to and like and not differ about. Seek secrecy in all matters, and secure your homes, villages and areas. Be good to the masses around you and help the weak, seek justice for the oppressed, and try to gain the favor of their leaders and elders and leave aside the ignorant. Show people the mercy of Islam and its manners and the justice of the Shariah. Place your trust in Allah in all your affairs, for it is He who helps and aids the Believers, and He will not let your deeds go to waste. Understand that it is the strong and armed who will be listened to and heard, while his feet are firm and heavy after the dust of these events settle and the ranks become clear and divided. Show no concern for the number of demised opposers nor the deserting fitnah-mongers. Do not feel alone due to the patient few in this path, for indeed this is the path of the Prophets and the Way of Allah in regards to their followers:
“…so that those who were to be destroyed (for their rejecting the Faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence.” (Al Anfal:42)
5) Fear Allah in regards to the Muslim prisoners in the prisons of oppression! Indeed freeing the prisoners is from the foremost of obligations upon you. Do not let things settle unless you free every last one of them, and then, seeking Allah’s help, turn them into pulverized dust, with no one brick left to support another.
6) Do not fear that which will be said to you about the plots of the enemies and thestrength of the “Greater Nations”, the disadvantages of enticing them, and other tricks of Satan. Know that Allah has given you what other Mujahideen dream about. America today is is weaker than ever, and its military might has drowned in Afghanistan and Iraq. It eyes the legion of truth in Yemen, Somalia and the Islamic Maghreb, while its body trembles under the pressure of their exhausting financial and economical crisis, ready to fall and go bankrupt. Your activities in the heart of the global geography will only increase their blunders and the hasten their fall and digression.
7) Indeed your Jihad today, O’ brothers, is in defense of the religion of Allah, in defense of the weak and oppressed of Egypt, in defense of your fellow Muslims in Gaza, in defense of your fellow Muslims in Iraq, and in defense of every Muslim affected by the tyranny of the Taghoot of Egypt and his leaders in Washington and Tel Aviv. Be defenders, supporters and helpers of Allah, and think well of your Lord. Fulfill your duties and take to your fronts, and be careful that the Muslims are not harmed due to your shortcomings. Allah says:
“O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful torment? That you believe in Allah and His Messenger and that you and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives: that will be better for you, if you but know! (If you do so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in ‘Adn (Eden) Paradise; that is indeed the great success. And also (He will give you) another (blessing) which you love, – help from Allah (against your enemies) and a near victory. And give glad tidings to the believers. O you who believe! Be you helpers (in the Cause) of Allah…” (As-Saff: 11-14)
And our final prayer is that all praise is due to Allah. Was-Salamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh

NOTE: This is the first official communication from al-Qā’idah as it pertains to Egypt. It will be interesting to see whether AQ Central, AQAP, or AQIM chime in regarding the events in Egypt. al-Qā’idah in the Islamic Maghreb already released two messages dealing with Tunisia, which you can see here and here.
