Eric Mueller comments:

HERE is the beginning of a four-page statement issued by the Abu Hafs al-Misri brigades on behalf of al-Qa'idah.
   The statement rails at length against the United Nations, which it regards as an agent of the US, and accuses of using double standards to the detriment of Muslims.
   The western media are full right now of statements denegrating the Abu Hafs al-Misri brigades saying they really don't speak for al-Qa'idah and that they claimed the blackouts in NY last year.
   At the time, the US media made no mention whatsoever about that claim, even though just days before they were playing up a statement by the same group as "proof" that al-Qa'idah was involved in something. Now that claim is supposed to be "absurd".
  Absurd or not, it was the Abu Hafs al-Misri Brigades that claimed the Madrid Railroad attack in the name of al-Qa'idah, something now fairly widely accepted.
   At any rate, below is the text of the first portion of that statement. As they used to say in medieval Arabic texts about controversial matters, "God knows best" how authentic it is.

In the name of God, the Merciful, the Mercy-giving.

GOD HAS promised those who believe among you and do good works that He will make them the successors in the land, as He made those who came before them successors, to establish their religion with which He is pleased, and to bring them security after they have known fear, that they may worship Me not associating any [partner] with Me, and whosoever disbelieves after that, they are the corruptors." [Qur'an, 24:55]

Temporary cessation of all operations in the territory of al-Andalus.

Praise be to God who gave us this victory in the Madrid attack and destroyed one of the pillars of the evil Crusader axis. The credit for this goes entirely to God, be He praised and exalted, and then to the mujahideen who are in the field, and then to all who participated in this operation if only by offering their prayers.

We gave the Spanish people the choice between war and peace and they chose peace by choosing the party that was against alliance with America in its war against Islam. Therefore the command has decided to halt all operations inside Spanish territory against so-called civilian targets until we learn the intentions of the new government that has promised to withdraw the Spanish army from Iraq, and are certain that the new government will not interfere in the affairs of the Muslims. Therefore, we repeat, to all the detachments deployed in European territory, halt all operations.

A word to America's stooges

Aznar, one of America's tails, has had his future destroyed by the alliance he made with the tyrant of the age, America. Aznar, who became hysterical after the strike. His intelligence services said "al-Qa'idah struck us," but he said, "No, no, it was ETA" Aznar will be thrown onto the garbage heap of history. What will America do for him? America's stooge the Shah of Iran found no one to bury him. Marcos whose body decayed while America watched and did nothing for him even though he had served America for 20 years.

Think about it, stooges! The Brigades of Death are at your doors. They will strike you with a hand of iron at the appropriate time and in the appropriate place, in particular the Arab and Muslim stooges like Musharraf and the House of Sallum (Sa'ud). Time will not be merciful and our detachments are now preparing the next blow. So whose turn do you think will be next? Will it be Japan? Or America? Or Italy? Or Britain? Or the House of Sallum? Or Australia? Or . . . ? Or . . . ?

Who will protect you from us. Who will stop the cars, trains, and airplanes of death? Who? Get out of our land! Release our prisoners! Take your hands off! And we will halt the Brigades of Death.

A word to Bush the fool.

We know that you are living the worst days of your life, in fear of the Brigades of Death that have spoiled your world. We say to you that we are very eager for you not to lose the coming elections. We know that any large-scale operation will destroy your government and we do not want this, for we will not find anyone more stupid than you, taking things by force rather than by wisdom and shrewdness. Yes, your stupidity and religious bigotry are what we want, for our Muslim world community will not awaken from its slumber except when there appears an enemy to ambush it.

The fact is that there is no difference between you and Kerry, but Kerry will kill our world community while it is not paying attention. He and the Democrats have the shrewdness to prettify infidelity and get it past the Arab and Islamic communities in the name of civilization. Therefore we are eager to see you win, Bush, you criminal, in the coming elections.
