Secret al-Qaeda memo: We must recruit and manipulate ‘ignorant’ Muslims
... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... files, discovered in the late Osama bin Laden  ... who is now sometimes referred to as Mister Bones... 's house which was raided by the US military in Abbottabad, northern Pakistain in 2011, one document has exposed particularly sensitive information. It reveals that al-Qaeda targeted "common" and "ignorant" recruits worldwide, as stated by the group’s Libyan military commander Abu Yahya al-Libi. Abu Yahya was al-Qaeda’s second-in-command after Ayman al-Zawahri and was killed in a dronezap  in the North Wazoo region of Pakistain.The document dated Monday, 29 March, 2010 was an internal bulletin sent to al-Qaeda members. It read: "Warning: To be published among the media, but not for public publication, a special message to the brothers of the jihadist media." Recruiting and inciting ’common people’ Terms of the group’s recruitment were defined by Abu Yahya, who wrote: "Concentrate on your speeches and publications on the Moslem common people, do not to indulge in discussions with the so-called ’elites,’ they are the most beneficial to the jihad, because they are mostly pure and full of goodness, even they have failed in some sins. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... their thoughts are not contaminated with corruption and do not have the complex ignorance [of common Moslems]." Abu Yahya added: "As you know, most of the common people do not realize the truth of the scientific discussions and political analysis, but they are incited by emotions." Previously released documents show the strains of managing al-Qaeda’s external networks, including identifying capable leaders and finding resources to fund operations abroad.
