“The Yemeni Regime and Al-Qaeda, Two Faces of the Same Coin”
The following is a statement signed by 110 Yemeni-American and Yemeni-Canadians
asserting to the US and Canadian Congresses that the Yemeni government and
al-Qaeda have a symbiotic relationship.

I like this line in particular: We stand in respect for the sacrifices of our
American and Canadian soldiers for a better future where we live in peace and
harmony. We salute the Eagle that flew one day above the skies of Iraq and
Afghanistan and scared the rats and reptiles.

An Urgent Call to the American Congress and Canadian Congress

From The Yemeni-American and Canadian –American Community

Date: 06/27/2008

To: The members of the American Congress and the Canadian Congress

From: the Yemeni-American and Yemeni-Canadian Citizens

Subject: The current Regime in Yemen and the Alqaeada terrorist organization
are two faces of the same coin…They live together and they die together. The
collapse of the regime in Sana’a is a collapse for the Alqaeda and all other
terrorist organizations

Dear Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen … our representatives in the American and
Canadian Congress

We would like to send our warmest greetings and our best wishes of health,
progress and progress. We have felt the obligation to write this letter to you
for the following reasons:

• First.
As Americans and Canadians from Yemeni background, we are proud that we are
part of these great nations as full participants through our efforts, work, and
sacrifices for the security, safety and progress of our two great nations. We
believe that our two great nations play a leading and a prominent role in
shaping the directions of the human civilization journey in the right path
toward freedom, progress, development, peaceful coexistence, rule of law and
order, freedom of expression, freedom of opinion, freedom of the press, freedom
of religion and political opinion. This is a source of pride for us among
nations and it is the direction that we firmly believe in.

• Second
Our civic duty toward the safety and security of our two nations dictate to us
that we raise our voice loud and clear…that we, again, point our fingers
toward the Wicked Wahhabi source of terrorism. We demand that these swamps of
terrorism be dried up. The organization of Alqaeda represent its ideology that
is based on a culture of hate and hostility. The truth is that this terror was
nurtured in Saudi Arabia as its incubator and moved to Yemen as its backyard due
to the help and safe haven that the dictatorial and corrupt regime in Yemen
provided. The terrorists have been using Yemen as a base to spread their dark
culture through justifying the killing of innocents, use of car bombs, human
bombs that explode in markets, restaurants, and buses. We are constantly
reminded by how the terrorists transformed civilian airliners into missiles to
shoot down buildings with inncocent civilians inside. That event have unmasked
the actions of the terrorists in
front of the whole world and have shown the extent of hate and ugliness in
their actions and ideology.

It has been proven time and again that the organization of Alqaeda in Yemen is
part of the ruling regime itself. The following are just examples of such
evidence:

The Yemeni regime, as represented by the illegitimate dictatorship of Ali
Abdullah, have absolutely refused to implement a decision by the International
Security Council to arrest the terrorist Abdulmajid Alzindani and freeze his
assets together with others due to their terrorist activities.
The release of 23 notorious terrorists from a jail that belongs to the
Political Security in Sana’a. Among those released was Fawwaz Alrabeeie who
was working in the Presidential Place serving juice for the Presient. Also,
among those notorious terrorists released was Jamal Badawi, the main suspect of
the attack of the destroyer USS Cole in the port city of Aden. Although Badawi
handed himself to the authorities more than once he was released shortly after
every time. We will be less puzzled by this once we know that Mr. Badawi is an
officer in the Political Security who free to roam around the country with his
armed entourage. As a high ranking security officer he could reach any target in
Yemen.

The official reception of the returnees from Afghanistan such as the Alqaeda
organization members and the so-called Arab Afghans. Private camps were created
to house them, and they were supplied by government food rations, equipment and
military training. These same terrorists were used to assassinate the political
enemies of The regime and carry out the crimes of Political Security such as the
assassination of Jarallah Omar in a confence for Al-Islah party and in the
presence of the terrorist Abdulmajid Alzindani.

In order to cover their horrible crime, they have committed a more horrendous
crime where three volunteer medical doctors for 30 years were murdered. These
three American doctors were William Kohen, Kathleen Garthi and Martha Mayers.
The Government claimed the first killer [of Jarallah Omar], Jarallah Assawani,
and the second killer , Kamel Abed were members of a terrorist cell targeting
secularists and Christian missionaries at the same time using the idea of
individual Jihad that they learned in Al-Iman University. Now, this university
happened to be the University that graduated the terrorist John Walker Lindh and
many other terrorists arrested in Afghanistan and other areas in the war on
terror. It is the same university that is glorified by the president’s media.
It is the same university that was founded by Abdulmajid Alzindani, who is
wanted for interrogation at international level; this is the same person who was
appointed in a prominent
position in the National Defense Council whose main duty would be to issue
religious decrees legitimizing the killing of the president’s political
opponents.just as happened in the war against the South in 1994 or as is
happeining now in the war of Saada in the north of the country until today.

*The regime uses Alqaeda for political extortion where he would give the nod to
the terrorists to launch attacks against tourists, foreign interests and
embassies as happened recently to cry to the world that Alqaeda has strong
presence in Yemen and cannot be fought without aid and financial backing by the
west. For the dictator, Alqaeda is a good business idea; even if the price
involved human blood.

The regime does not see any irony in its so-called “rehabilitating
terrorists” approach and declarations that it is conducting dialogue with
Alqaeada. The aim is to rehabilitate them into becoming “good citizens”; at
the same time they are sent to some areas such as Iraq and Somalia to conduct
suicide missions. DNA tests have shown that some suicide bombers came from
Yemen..
We are sure you know more about Alqaeda links to the regime in Yemen.

Third
We believe that poverty, ignorance and disease is the right environment for the
terrorist organizations to flourish. Alqaeda –like organizations rely for
their existence on societies that ar un-educated, bankrupt economies,
unemployment and desperate young people. Terrorist organizations are able to
recruit among the youth lliving Iin desperate conditions.. The regime in Yemen
through its policies of neglect and military rule have deliberately created the
perfect conditions for poverty, fear and disease. This has been clear since the
regime of Ali Abdullah Saleh took power by force in 1978. Yemen has been living
in constant war until this moment. Throughout this period, his regime has
practiced war crimes, crimes against humanity, human rights violations,
plundering public wealth, killing of political opponents, imprisonment of
writers and journalists and artists. However, real terrorists were released….

The government neglected education, health and social services and building
essential infrastructure. These are optimal conditions that terrorist
organizations operate under, and thus we see how terroists are recruited to go
and fight in Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan and Lebanon.. etc.

Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen….our representatives in the American and
Canadian congresses; We believe that the world war against terror is a war
between the forces of freedom, justice, progress, peace and the forces of
extremism, terrorism and darkness. We also believe that this war was launched
against terror not for the sake of war but to correct misconceptions about
peaceful coexistence and bring back human nature to its true nature of goodness.

Based on all of this we request our representatives in the American congress
and the Canadian Congress to work on the following:

Compel the corrupt, terrorist, dictatorial regime in Yemen to stop the war in
Saada and any part of Yemen immediately and to freeze the assets of Abdulmajid
Alzindani as well as close the Al-Iman University for which Alzindani is a
president.. Similar measures should be taken against all other known terrorists
who are listed in the decision of the United Nations Security Council and are
wanted by the FBI. They all should be extradited to the United States of America
to receive just trials about their connections to terrorist activities since
there is no independent justice system in Yemen. Also, those responsible for
violations against human rights, freedom of expressions, journalistic freedoms,
political and religious freedoms.

Compel the regime in Yemen to release political prisoners in view of the
peaceful political protests in South Yemen. In addition, the regime should be
pressured to release all prisoners of opinion, writers, journalists, and
artists. All previous political trials, that clearly show that there is no
independent judiciary, should be condemned. What exist in Yemen is a huge
political security apparatus with different names, including the justice system.
The sole purpose of this apparatus is to protect the killers, criminals and
plunderers of public wealth and insure they continue in power.

Cut all aid and assistance of any kind. No poltical, economic, or military
agreements or treaties should be signed with the regime because it is an
illegitimate one who came to power in 1978. the regime does not represent the
will, honor, conscience or dignity of the Yemeni people. Why did this regime
cause all this destruction, hunger, fear and disease among the Yemenese? What
the yemenese need today is liberation and freedom from this catastrophe befell
him 30 years ago (30 years of dictatorship, corruption and terrorism under Ali
Abdullah Saleh).

4- Monitor the land and sea borders of Yemen to stem the flow of weapons and
terrorists between Yemen and other areas in the war against terror. In addition,
human rights violations, war crimes and child trade with neighbouring countries
should monitored and the government should be pressured to cease such
violations. Officials of Yemen who commit such violations should be referred to
the International Court of Justice.

Change the dictatorial regime in Yemen for its fall mean the fall of Alqaeada
and other terrorist organizations.

Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen….our representatives in the American and
Canadian congresses. We salute you and we salute our governments for all the
measures that have been taken against the regime in Yemen and specifically the
State Department and the administration of president George W. Bush.

We stand in respect for the sacrifices of our American and Canadian soldiers
for a better future where we live in peace and harmony. We salute the Eagle that
flew one day above the skies of Iraq and Afghanistan and scared the rats and
reptiles. It liberated the people of Iraq from one of the most vicious
dictatorships in the world, the regime of Saddam; It liberated the people of
Afghanistan from the backward and reactionary Taliban regime.

Glory to the Heroic Warriors

Glory to the Matyrs

Victory to the Free World

Shame and Defeat for the Evil Terrorists
