Urdu magazine speads Al Qaeda message
2012-01-09
Nuggets from the Urdu press.
Al Qaeda continues to spread its message through an Urdu monthly magazine. Its 200-page magazine, Hiteen, is delivered by through the mail.
That's not a magazine, it's a full-blown book.
Hiteen, named after the battlefield where Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi defeated the Crusaders, began in June 2011, a month after Bin Laden's death. The magazine is being sent to not only the Deobandis but also to Ahle Hadith and Barelvis to convert them to Al Qaeda's point of view.

The seventh issue which was sent out last month, opens with an essay, Matyrdom of Sheikh Osama bin Laden and the International Jihad Movement. The magazine contains the sayings of Mullah Omar and some Al Qaeda leaders. There is also an interview with Sheikh Khalid Bin Abdul Rehman Al Husnain. Husnain, once part of Kuwait's Ministry of Islamic Affairs, is now with Al Qaeda. There is a fatwa by Muhammad Waliullah Hussain of the Jamiatul Uloomul Islami, which declares that there is no ban on Muslims looting goods from NATO containers.

Hiteen does not carry the name of the editor, and the only way to send feedback is through two email addresses.

An editorial says that it is not true that the mission of the mujahideen has been damaged with Bin Laden's death. It advises readers not to ignore the 'false reports about mujahidden from the hyprocitical media' and to continue the struggle. It says the fight will continue till the US is removed from Muslim countries and an Islamic Caliphate is established.

An anonymous essay speaks of the need for a new Bin Laden who would fight infidels and defend Muslims. The magazine thanks the many branches of Al Qaeda around the world.

An officer of the Counter Terrorism Department, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said they knew about the magazine and that copies of it were in their files. He said that they would soon discover who was responsible for publishing and circulating Hiteen.
