them to try to assassinate you again in another way, using
the following weapons:
1) Osama and his high-ranking assistants eat together
once a week (lunch on Friday)
a. Source of the food: the special kitchen in the
receiving building. That kitchen is thought to be
in a bad place, since so many Arabs and Afghans
know where it is, and there is so little
security. This is good for America, it is an open
door for them. first negative point

Addendum to the first letter
Read after 5
1 – After the meeting with the prisoners who were released
a few days before this addendum, we are sure that our three
brothers who are with 85 Pakistanis really were moved more
than two months ago to Tajikistan, and from there to
Mashhad, Iran. Those prisoners remembered the names of all
of our brothers and they described them. They remembered
that they complained very strenuously to the administrator
of the prisoners, whose name was Mujahid, and he was a
corporal in charge of the prisoners within the prison. They
mentioned to him that they were not able to stay with the
Pakistanis in the same place, he moved them in with the
Afghanis, they also mentioned to him that they might act as
if they had recovered completely from their injuries, and
that their morale was very high. The prisoners said that
after they had moved the Arab and Pakistani brothers, under
an attempt to move the Afghani prisoners, these attempts
were a failure. The first attempt failed in Masoud’s
airplane which was coming to transport them. Another time,
the truck rolled over with the prisoners and guards,
killing eight guards, two Pakistanis and four Taliban and
injured others, and these events halted completely with the
arrival of the last airplane. Because of this, there were
ideas being tossed around that they were trying to get rid
of the most important of our brothers.
A – Operations to mediate, directly or indirectly, in
a limited way with the Iranians to talk about releasing the
prisoners. It will be somewhere between diplomacy and
threats with an operation which is something against their
interests.
B – The operation to take Iranian hostages to trade
for our prisoners will embarrass Iran quite a bit
nationally, as a truly moderate party in Afghanistan, then
for a country whose feelings clearly run that way. The
operation will become a statement to Muslims in general to
confirm and delimit their position. There will be
responses, both positive and negative, but it is not bad to
have discussions about it. Maybe the Taliban will benefit
from some of this.
C – Operation to bomb something Iran has an interest
in, and the threat to repeat that if they do not release
the prisoners. This could be in Pakistan or in an Arab
country, Iran’s interests are spread all over the world.
The first solution is best for us, and it could open the
door through which the Taliban may return as well.
2 – The time of Hamza’s (the Pakistani) punishment has
ended or passed. Please send him back to us, we need him
urgently. We have started to shrink unnoticeably, but the
training program is almost over and we will start the
operations training in the next few days. During this time,
I will go through the training for personality and courage,
and the necessary preparations to conduct an operation that
is successful, and has an impact on the general situation,
if God wills.

A letter to Sheikh Abu Hafs
1 – With praise to God, we have destroyed one of the
enemy’s cars on the way to Maradbik using an 82 mm mortar,
and we destroyed another car on the way to Bakram using a
tank. Also, in Bakram we scored a direct hit of two enemy
tanks, and now we are trying to hit the third tank which is
in front of our position after they withdrew the fourth
tank. If you were here with us while we were shooting at
them using Abu Turrab’s tank, you would have laughed at the
way they were running away!
2 – After three days of unrelenting attempts, we were
finally able to meet with Sheikh Muhammad Rabbani. We
talked to him about:
a – things dealing with
the prisoners. After bringing up the issue of pursuing
their release, he asked me not to get inextricably involved
with any faction as an attempt for us (Arabs) to release
our brothers or to get support to them because we heard
that they are not in a good situation and they need money
(this is from the three who brought news that they are in
Bengshir). He said that we are sending them aid, which
will go to all of them without exception.
He specified one of the intelligence officials for us
to work with on this issue. He asked us not to attempt
trading with them for money, as this would open a door that
would not close.
b – I asked him for the paper for the car or for a
car. Then he told me that he heard that you had sent us
two cars. I denied this, and refuted the story of the cars
since the beginning of our participation. I told him how
the Sheikh (Abu Abdullah) sent us his personal car which is
now on the front lines. He said to me – and it appeared to
me that he did not believe what I said – that he would talk
to you about this car situation.
c – Afterwards, I asked him for a house for us to use
as a headquarters because we have tired from the rent and
the properties. He told me that they had moved away from
Wazir Akbar Khan and the center of Kabul. They had moved
to the outskirts of Kabul far from observation, because
Sulaiman Al-‘Amri(The Saudi Consul) has asked about us and
is concerned about our news. He has eyes to follow us, and
we must show deference to their (the Taliban) position and
not show defiance or embarrass them!!!!!!!!!??? So he sent
Mullah Hamad Allah Zahid to find us an appropriate house.
May God bless him and keep him standing in the truth.
Finally, he sent his greetings to all of you.
- Please talk to him about the cars, he promised that
he would.
3 – We have sent brother Mirouis (Shahib) on his way, after
supplying him with the necessary reasons and securing his
needs. Just about no one knows about this except me, may
God keep him.
4 – We have learned that one of the Pakistani prisoners has
been released from prison after his brother and father went
to Bengshir via the Pakistani and Afghani learned men. He
told them that in the Dashtarak prison in Bengshir there
were three Arab brothers, their names according to what he
remembered are (Ali, Mahmoud, Abeed), two of whom have leg
injuries, (Abeed and Ali). They were shot after they were
captured, and they sustained serious injuries. They have
gone without treatment until the Red Cross intervened and
began treatment, along with the rest of the injured. Now
their injuries are doing well. We also learned that their
fourth colleague with them was also injured. However, the
enemy shot and killed him when they were captured. He
doesn’t know him or his name, or where he comes from, or
anything about him or where he was. According to their
descriptions in their memory, (Abeed is Abu Abeeda – and
his name was Omran earlier) (And Mahmoud is Abu Yusef Al
Sudani) and (Ali is Abu Abdullah Al-Layli) and the other
two are from the group of the Sheikh’s son who joined us at
the end of the matter. The three were in the back of the
house belonging to the brothers there. The fourth one in
the house was Ibn al-Jarah who is possibly the one that was
killed (This is only a possibility). The brother who
visited us in the house also mentioned that that he heard
that there is an Arab with 12 Pakistanis who are now
prisoners, who are now in Jabal al-Siraj, and this brother
is possibly (Nabisha). This also is only a possibility,
since the last of the folks have come down from the
mountain. He could have been the last of the Afghanis and
Pakistanis, at that time he was on the mountain in
observation {TN: watch post} with Qutaiba al-Ghamadi who
came down a little before him.
If God permits, we will keep trying to find out about the
fate of the others and to get to know the brother in Jabal
al-Siraj with the Pakistanis.
We are waiting for your instructions.
We know that at last they asked Qari Saif Allah Akhtar for
one million Pakistani Kildar in exchange for releasing each
of them, after they had initially asked him for a one for
one exchange.

To Abdul Aziz
(1) Concerning the program, we are waiting for two. As I
told you in the last letter, this is based on what Abu
Ihlam said, they are concentrating. I think, and God knows,
waiting is good for you until we receive it, and if God
wills it won’t be long.
(2) Concerning the issue of the drama you talked about in
your letter to the Sheikh, the Sheikh saw no problems with
it initially, but you should send us pictures of the
matter, how much it will cost and your opinion on it from
the perspective of security. It is appropriate to study it
from the security standpoint.
As for my opinion, I am afraid for your security. There is
no need for recklessness, God knows.
(3) Concerning the steel {TN: could be code word, ALHDID}
please turn it over to Abdul Hadi so he can take care of it
in a safe place until another place is designated. This is
because moving it now would raise a lot of questions.
My greetings to all who are with you,
Your brother, Ahmed Abdul Aziz
11 Ramadan, 1419 {TN: 1999}
{TN: next letter starts page 20, second half on 19}
{TN: does not mention name of addressee}
Concerning the situation on the front…
The situation on the front is very strange… I don’t know
who should pray for mercy for those brave Mujahideen who
died… how sad the things are that a person must see here…
but you are not saddened by this beginning which is not
given up… The position of the Taliban is strong and good
all along the front. Mas’ud’s position is shaky… the
Taliban have now begun shelling and striking and Mas’oud’s
groups have started to move to the rear. There are only
two or three posts left to take the advance… The Taliban
are advancing {TN: under crease in page} and they have
started to retreat, but there is no reason for them to
retreat… Mas’oud’s groups are again giving up their
positions… this is the way things have been repeated three
times here until the present… I am sure that if Mas’oud
advanced forcefully and didn’t have the mountains in front
of him, you would be seeing the Taliban’s vehicles with
you.
Up to this point, I don’t have any ideas other than that
the Taliban have lost their will to sacrifice. The price
and unfortunately the severity of this situation has
created a bad response by a lot of our brothers who have
lost their will to stay for the Taliban… Consequently they
have lost the feeling that holds them together, as the
bombing against them is intense and there are injuries or
martyrs every day. The Taliban are not advancing…
Disregarding the position of the Taliban, if only they had
some semblance of the way the prophet behaved, or
something… This is with no indication of inoculating the
guys with a new motivation to work… and if they were to
open their mouths for something other than confirmation and
rumors… this is the short version of the situation I found
when I returned, and we ask God to guide you to a way to
fix this…
- Regarding the following line:
There is no official in Kabul that I can talk to on this
matter in any real way… The Secretary of Defense is in
Pakistan… Akbar Agha is in Kandahar… and the rest of them
are not qualified… I could probably go myself in the midst
or just two… and I don’t know where to get people to bring
here… The situation of the brothers has become as follows:
1 – The Yemeni brothers have all gone and none of them
remain except for Abdul Aziz, but you already know this.
2 – The rest of the remaining brothers are as follows:
a – Abu Khalid Yemeni and Ayoub wouldn’t stay on the front
line after Muhannad was killed without being forced. I told
them to write to you so you can know them yourself.
b – Anas and Abu Mahjan have family situations, one has a
sister getting married and the other is leaving in order to
see his relatives. He wants to meet you and get to know
you… He is a brave brother but he is in a hurry and was
impatient waiting with us on the day of the blessed tanks.
c – Al-Zabir al-Maliki and Zaid al-Khair say that they
have a special program to work on the peninsula {TN: Saudi
Arabia} and they want to consult you about it.
d – Samu’al arrived by way of the son of the Sheikh; he
has a letter of introduction for you to become acquainted
with him.
e – The guy from Ogadin {TN: Ethiopia} and his brother,
the first says that you put him in the new security group –
Eritria – and the second is to get married.
3 – The brothers who are staying on the front include:
a – the group at Baghram. Abu Ziyad is responsible for
observation… Abu Tamim Group BMI {TN: BMI is written in
English letters}… The Jordanian Abdul Hadi group, gharnai
{TN: place name or Russian word??}… The Triberlamini group,
tanks and the Iraqi brother is with them who recently
arrived from Jalalabad and you sent him to report… That’s
it, no more.
