Purported al Qaeda Operative threatens Afghanistan and Says,

"Let the Days Show You the Words Coming True."

A self-proclaimed Taliban al Qaida operative who claims to have recently returned from Afghanistan and Iraq, has some terrifying threats about the group’s intentions for Afghanis posted on an internet site “diary.”

Among other comments, Daleel Almojahid writes, "We also assure you and send you our coming news that we will start killing all the Loya Jerga Council (a traditional assembly of tribal representatives) that is due to start elections. We have sent them all messages warning them that if any of them show up in the elections they will be killed directly on our hands."

In response to a question asking for some proof of his claims, Almojahid (who wrote many of his Nov. comments using the computer system at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates) responded by e- mail that he was unable to give any information about the exact level of his involvement with the al Qaeda.

Almojahid wrote, “You just have to read what I write and let the days show you the words coming true. About where I was I can tell you that I have been on the move for two weeks … I can tell you that I was in Afghanistan and Iraq and the situation there is more than great. You don’t understand the amount of lying your government is producing! The amount of death and captured is above all your expectation and to tell you the truth it was above my expectation but thank God things are moving really well.”

Almojahid’s web “diary” spans Thurs. Nov. 20 through Tues. Nov. 25 2003. It is headlined “Mojahideen news directly from Afghanistan.” The first entry for Thursday reads (sic), “Mojahideen attacked military base in Asad Abad and 13 American pigs were killed.” Another entry for the same day reads “Mojahideen killed in an Islamic way of slaughtering two undercover Afghans working for the American intelligence after they confessed.”

Three entries for Fri. Nov. 21 read (sic), “The mojahideen attacked the patrolling convoy near ghandahaar airport killing 20 Americans. The mojahideen attacked a watch base in Dorah and killed more than 18 Americans. The mojahideen attacked the American base in Asad Abaad and burned two camp grounds and killed more than 25 Americans.”

An entry for Sun. Nov.23 reads (sic), “The mojahideen attacked a convoy that was searching for the mojahideen and bombarded them with rockets and fire arm so heavy that led to the killing of every one on board and more than 52 Americans were killed in the attack. This attack came as a slap to the Americans in their face.”

An entry for Mon.Nov. 24 reads (sic), “The mojahideen with the hand of god were capable in taking down one of the most strongest choppers that the Americans use, there are only two of these choppers in the world as they are building more of them at this time, its called MH53J, and is known to have the ability to avoid any rockets shot at it. But the mojahideen are fighting in the name of god and god has his hands to bring it down. Alaah akbaar (I promise you pictures of this soon.”

Almojahid writes that those are only some of the operations in the last month. He says he plans to update his readers with the rest of the news in the days to come. He finishes off his log by writing, “Pray for the mojahideen they are teaching the Americans and who ever comes along with them lessons in fighting, the Americans are not sleeping at night at all or in the morning and we will make sure to keep them up 24 hours a day. The operations are extremely successful thanks to god for his hands are moving with the mojahideen where ever they move.”

Almojahid says if his readers are wondering why they are no hearing this news from other means it is because “America is controlling all the media outlets so it is very hard for the mojahideen to spread their news but in the hands of god we will try our best to do so and give the people what they deserve to know.”

Almojahid continues to use Yahoo groups and Yahoo as a source to communicate with his followers. After Yahoo recently suspended Almojahid’s account he quickly opened up another one by adding the number “1” after his name.

Although Almojahid (who is also known as Salaah Aldeen) is still apparently in the United Arab Emirates, he is not using the computer system at the American University of Sharjah anymore. He appears to be using the Emirates Telecommunication Corp. located in Dubai in the UAE.
