Al-Qaeda Statement Translation: Embassy Attack Planning Began after Communique from UBL
I am oddly uninterested in issues five and six of the Echo of Epics magazine and their description of breaching the embassy’s outer perimeter, and before that I was less than fascinated by the forum postings, phone calls, emails, letter bombs, youtube videos, faxes to AFP (heh), and audio recordings among the myriad of prior Yemeni al-Qaeda communications. But this one makes some sense, especially when you factor in the whole thing with al-Qamish, head of the PSO. (But if its from Abu Jindal, and not Abu al-Feida, then maybe its just more yayayayaya.) However I’m off on my own in my view of the configuration of the local, regional and central al-Qaeda network, and there is a substantial compendium of opposing views. There was only one analysis previously, in Newsweek, that advanced the theory that UBL would have had to sign off on the embassy attack, and it was met with some astoundment, but it made sense to me considering the strong historical relationship in Yemen that is missing in Iraq and Thailand and India and so forth. The following is a google translation of the al-Quds al-Arabya article:
Sanaa ‘Arab Jerusalem’ (Al-Quds al-Arybia) from Khalid Al Hammadi: A source close to the leadership of a local organization in Yemen to al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, his followers implement the largest military operation against the United States far exceed the 11 September (September), aspire to change In the world politically and economically.
He said of the ‘Arab Jerusalem’ that this process will be large in response to Washington’s rejection of the truce by al Qaeda for Western countries led by the United States, and that ‘this process will be implemented in the near future’ and make the September 11 (September) a thing of the past.
The ‘Implementation of this process a matter of time, and the implementation of regulatory orders have been issued by the organization’s leader, Sheikh Osama bin Laden, the timing of implementation remains subject to the completion of the process well prepared and opportunities’.
The ‘Al-Qaeda is currently the best stages, where he became the most powerful level since its inception in number and equipment and training in many countries around the world and it has become systematic and widespread and not confined to elective’.
He cited an example that al Qaeda was currently governing most areas of Somalia, and that the Taliban control most of the territory of Afghanistan, while many of the tribal chieftains in the provinces of Marib and Jawf, Saada and Shabwa in Yemen Bayaoa formal leadership of a local organization in their country, they engaged in the organization out of Ideological and not tribal as in the past.
He pointed out that the al Qaeda-time during the past year pursuit by the security services of Western and Arab training and polarization and horizontal expansion, and the global war on terrorism served the organization unless they serve each other factors, where ‘organization benefited from the mistakes committed by Washington and Arab regimes partners In the war against terrorism to attract all those affected by the global war who were not linked to any organization in advance ‘.
A source who asked not be named for security reasons, a leader of a former al-Qaida and still continues to this day with some of its leadership and Osama bin Laden sent a letter six months ago to all Al-Qaeda cells in the Arab world of refusing to negotiate with the political system, not Feasibility of, the content of ‘Leave it to negotiate with evil regimes’. It was reported that the letter arrived to the leadership of a local organization in Yemen against the backdrop of the Yemeni attempt to open channels of dialogue with al-Qaeda to convince them to cease terrorist operations in Yemen against both Western interests or interests Yemeni-for settlement of their status and their integration into society.
He pointed out that ‘upon the receipt of the letter began the organizational leadership of al Qaeda in Yemen of plotting quality of its operations in Yemen, the first of the latest operations against the U.S. embassy in Sanaa in September (September), after a break of several years’.
He emphasized that the process of planning and directing carried out by the Emir of al-Qaeda in Yemen Nasser Louhichi (Waheshi), one of the most prominent of the 23 escapees from the prison of the Central Agency for Political Security (Intelligence) in Sanaa.
He pointed out that al-Qaeda in Yemen over the past years time to arrange its internal affairs and attracting influential figures in society, particularly those personalities otherwise sharply with the political system, most notably the tribal leaders in the provinces of Marib and Jawf, Saada and Shabwa.
The operations carried out during the past two years against Western interests in Yemen and the government has not implemented al-Qaeda, but al Qaeda in the Peninsula, which now leads the Alqaaiti Hamza, was killed in a confrontation with police a few months ago in the Hadramawt.
He expected to see the Yemeni arena in the coming period of the quality of the base, which Yemeni authorities are trying to mitigate the doubling of its security
