Murder of Ahmed Shah Massoud: Ordered by bin Laden | |
2003-11-01 | |
From 2nd Issue of 'Voice of Jihad' Al-Qa'ida Online Magazine, via MEMRI The magazine continued its biography of Sheikh Yousef Al-Ayyiri, who served as personal bodyguard to Osama bin Laden and manager of the Al-Qa'ida website, until he was killed by Saudi security forces. The biography addresses Osama bin Laden's order for the murder of Ahmed Shah Massoud. According to the biographer, after Sheikh Al-Ayyiri's release from a Saudi prison, he recruited youths and encouraged them to wage Jihad in Afghanistan and take part in the training camps there: Afterwards, the greatest event in Afghan history occurred – the assassination of the despicable commander, Ahmed Shah Massoud, and there was no describing Sheikh Al-Ayyiri's joy. I remember asking him, 'What happened?' And he replied by saying that Sheikh Osama asked the brothers: 'Who will take it upon himself to deal with Ahmed [Shah] Massoud for me, because he harmed Allah and His sons?'

#2 What's the story (rather, what wasthe story) on Massoud? He's an enemy of an enemy, and all that, but I thought he wasn't a blood-crazy fundy either, but the link to the RAWA page says otherwise. Hmph? |

#1 Alright, so the scholars of Al Quseim meet with the lunatic bin Laden and a few of his wideboys and they end up persuaded that Massoud's murder and 9/11 were all to the good. Had they persisted in their criticism and even perhaps condemned his actions, would the Sheik say, "Fair enough. We agree to disagree"?. Doubt it. The Scholars would've been condemned as apostate muslims and duly whacked. So naturally they say, "Hokay". These fuggin' people...sheesh. |
