My brothers, salutation from Allah I send to all of you.

Thanks. What's on your mind, chum?

I want to share this great information, great news from Iraq-ul-Islam. I need to ask you to listen to the message, read it and contemplate about it because it is going to be the last message from me that I am able to relay to you from Aman.

You mean, like in Jordan?

What has happened is that all the brothers in Baghdad have been here for the last 30 days. But last week when Sahaaf the Iraqi information minister last spoke and just after that the two US tanks entered on that day we sent our delegation the letter to Aman.

Hokay. I'm not real clear on what the hell you're talking about...

First of all I must carry the salutation of 8000 Mujahideen in Iraq. This Busharah is for those people whose eyes are full of tears because they see the people of the cross in the Muslim land in Dar-ul-Salaam, in Baghdad, in the cradle of the Abbassi Khilafah. I send this good news to all those people who have been misled by the magicians and the magic of the pharaoh of this time. Those tricks of the magicians of today, the Jews and the media, they deceived many Muslims of the world and defeated them even before the battle has started. The situation in Iraq is not the way the Jews tried to show or demonstrate by their own magic. We are going to tell you the truth.

Yes, by Gawd! Everything you see around you, that ain't happening. It's all smoke and mirrors. We're real and they're not, and you might not be either!

Iraqi forces retreated from Baghdad and from all other cities. This is not an issue of defending the soldiers of the Baath Party. This withdrawal was in accordance with our consultation between the leadership of the Mujahideen and the leadership of the Iraqi forces. A new type of bomb was released one that compares to small nuclear type bombs over Baghdad. They (US) used it because it was a new type of bomb that had not been banned internationally and they dare not use Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) because they themselves would not be able to defend themselves against such weapons. They are going to persist in bombing, killing and destroying without desiring to come and fight face to face.

He still hasn't quite grasped the concept of modern warfare...

When they faced resistance in Umm Qasr, which is only a small place, it took them 14 days to take control of 2 small roads. So they realised that they need to use very powerful bombs to inflict maximum damage on the Iraqi army and Iraqi people thus leading to an uprising. The Shia who have been trained by the US will fight against the Iraqi regular army and the Kurds from the North and there will be fighting on the streets whilst the Americans continue the bombing everywhere. After all this we decided to adopt the tactics as in Afghanistan.

Does that mean running away like the Talibs did? Collapse as a military tactic?

We cannot fight as a regular army with a cowardly enemy who doesn't want to clank swords with us engage in land warfare. They have superiority over us by their airpower therefore the only way we can fight their regular army is to engage them in a guerrilla war. But there is no Tora Bora and there are no mountains in Iraq like the mountains in Afghanistan.

Hmmm... Does present something of a problem, doesn't it?

The Mujahideen (Taliban) in Afghanistan retreated from all the cities to Pakistan and gave them up so the bombing could stop but the cowards never stopped the bombing and never came down to meet us. The Muslims have inflicted maximum damage on them and they can't even claim victory in Afghanistan.

Sure we can. We just haven't claimed victory in Pakistan. Yet.

We decided to use the same technique and the Iraqi leadership thank Allah accepted our Shura. This is the sole reason why we retreated especially after we found that there are enough places to be protected in, better than Tora Bora. These are the bunkers and tunnels of Iraq, they were constructed by the Iraqi forces in 1989.

Ahah! They're gonna become troglodytes, popping out of the ground...

The location of these places is guarded, nobody knows where they are except a few people in the Iraqi leadership. All the Mujahideen are going to stay in the streets. All the Iraqi regular army will go to the bunkers, 150,000 fighters who are extremely loyal to the regime and with them there is 150 Iraqi air jets MiG 27 and 2500 Iraqi tanks.

And 150,000 fighters loyal to the regime will bring with enough groceries to feed 150,000 indefinitely, and sanitary facilities, and clothing and equipment. The 150 jets will take off from rolled up runways that're kept stored in the bunkers. Skilled mujaheddin mechanics will maintain the 2500 tanks, keeping them in tip-top shape...

The agreement was that all the forces of Iraq, artillery, army, intelligence, informers, Republican Guard, Fidaaee Saddam and all other troops will retreat from their places and come to the bunkers leaving the cities for the kuffaar to enter. They informed Al Jazeera to declare that the whole city of Baghdad is empty. We kept with us the young Mujahideen who used to be called Fidaaee Saddam. They converted them to become Fidaaee Islam; they declared to die for the sake of Allah.

"Sammy, Allah... What the heck, it's all the same, ain't it?"

Oh Muslims when the order to vacate all the cities came to the Iraqi forces, they were deserted when the American entered and they found no resistance. They claimed victory and invited all the cameras of the world to show what was happening to demoralise the army but they forget that there was no army there to be demoralised.

Stunning oversight on the part of the infidels...

However this (propaganda) would have affected some of the people in Iraq so we decided to cut the power supply completely, no communication and there will be no television that can be seen by the Iraqis.

Brilliant! Brilliant! And it'll never come back! More! More!

You saw how they demonstrated their hatred and started to motivate the people to loot, to cause anarchy and to uprise. Oh Muslim Ummah, Iraq is strong, strong by the Mujahideen whom are collecting all the weapons they want, they have the enemy they wish to meet and will continue to fight until either they are victorious or attain martyrdom.

Until they attain martyrdom, anyway...

What you see in Iraq is a military tactic, nothing more than that and what the media shows is not the truth. All of this was manufactured by the American forces, to prove that there is no system left. Oh Brothers, whosoever wants to come to us there is no way because our trip is to be the last trip and if you do so you will be putting your life at risk.

"Once you're in, you can't get out..."

Be patient and prepare yourselves wherever you are. Until the appropriate time you will join the Mujahideen, with full details of how to reach us. In the end we say to you the crusaders did not achieve what they came for, they came for the oil and whenever they start it by Allah we will destroy it. The crusaders understand there is a trap and there is no way for them to go out. We are always able to capture from them, able to kill from them soldiers. By Allah we can see them but they cannot see us and we are around them but they are not able to recognise us.

Sure we can. They're the ones in the bunkers and tunnels. The troglodytes...

We call upon all the Muslims, in particular the ones in the Arabian Peninsula to be ready, the confrontation is going to start in the Arabian Peninsula. By Allah we have discovered very rich land and very cultivated land full of weapons, good for training and an enemy we can see.

Sounds like Yemen to me...

Inshallah Victory will be soon for the Muslims
