Abu Musab al-Suri threatens France in videotaped will
The Syrian Abu Musab Al-Siri, one of the main Al Qaeda operatives in Europe, was arrested on October 31 in Quetta, Pakistan. The man left a spiritual will in the form of a one-hour video recorded right after the attacks on London on July 7 and broadcasted on Islamist websites. The DST (French equivalent to the FBI) immediately translated the speech."It is our legitimate right to strike France because we are at war with this country. I call all the mujahidins of Syria, of Lebanon, of the Levant and beyond to strike (its) heart and its interests wherever they are." He also invites "the mujahidins (...) to act quickly and take actions against Great Britain, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Australia, Russia and France or counters their interests in the Moslem countries and everywhere else". Beyond, the terrorists must "take actions against all the countries which are present militarily in Iraq, Afghanistan and in the Arab peninsula". He also invites "all the sleeper cells to awake because the war has reached its climax and the enemy is about to waver". "One should not be deceived by the French trading positions with regard to the Palestinian cause and Iraq". To attack France is "legitimate" since it started "to interfere with the businesses of Syria and Lebanon" and that it took part in the drafting of the UN resolution 1559 "which constitutes a prelude to the invasion of these two countries". The text then evokes the nine "reasons which legitimate the action" against Paris: attempt to impose "an embargo on Syria with the UNâs help, America and Great Britain", will "to disarm all those which want to resist Israel", "strong support to the Jews for a long time" and supply of the atomic weapon "to the Zionist State ", putting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad on the list of terrorist organizations, occupation of "certain Moslem countries in Africa", participation "in the genocide against the Moslems of Bosnia", sending troops in Afghanistan, membership of NATO and finally decision to prohibit "the wearing of the hijab for Moslem women in France".
