Deputy leader of al Qaeda in Yemen, Said al-Shahri

SANAA, 09 Oct — In a statement published by Islamist internet websites, al-Qaeda network Friday said its operatives in Yemen “constitute an advanced front to strike oil installations in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries,” and condemned what it dubbed “perversion and immorality in Dubai.” Al-Yaqeen press centre quoted an unidentified al-Qaeda militant as saying “we know where the next strike will be but we don’t know the timing or the purposes,” adding “the number of American fighters joining al-Qaeda is growing but for organizational reasons, we don’t reveal their numbers.” “Many university teachers in western countries started contacting us and providing us with important information,” said the unidentified militant, adding “the families of killed American nationals also began contacting us,” and “if the entire population of Texas were to perish, we would not have done our duty to the Muslims. We will continue to fight the Americans and will never let them go,” stressing “the US administration never represented the people and seeks to achieve its own personal interests.” He said al-Qaeda network is “fully aware of the axiom: Fight your enemy with the weapon he fears not the weapon you fear,” adding “what al-Qaeda’s enemies fear most is a biological or chemical strike.” Meanwhile, Interior Minister General Brigadier Mutaher Rashad al-Masri Thursday said security agencies in Yemen are “closely monitoring the movements of al-Qaeda operatives.”

“Terror Arrests in Yemen: From The American to Al-Sakhi to The Australians Who Go Free”
Filed under: Al-Qaeda, Judicial, Somalia, Yemen, prisons — by Jane Novak at 8:10 am on Thursday, December 14, 2006
All around the mulberry bush

SNIPPET: “Short story: Previously under investigation in the US, American Iman Anwar al-Alwaki a/k/a Abu Atiq a/k/a Anwar al-Aulaqi was recently arrested in Yemen. His arrest led investigators to another group connected to September’s thwarted terror bombings in which two of the February al-Qaeda escapees were killed.

The al-Awlaki arrest also led to a later arrest of eight foreigners accused of smuggling guns to Somalia for al-Qaeda including a Dane, a Briton, a German, a Somali, three Australians, and a European of undetermined nationality who may be Austrian. One media report indicates the group was under surveillance by Western intelligence and the arrests disrupted an otherwise productive intelligence operation; other sources dispute this. The Dane is known as Abu Zakaria, whose given name is Kenneth Sorensen. The central figure was reportedly a Somali named al-Ansar. This group of eight included the Australian Ayub brothers, sons of JI leader Abdul Rahim Ayub, who fled Australia after the Bali bombings. Seven of the eight confessed according to the official Yemeni media. However six of eight were subsequently released without charges.

Details: American Anwar Al Awlaki a/k/a Abu Atik was was arrested in Yemen 8/31/06. Born in New Mexico of Yemeni parents, al-Awlaki was the Muslim Chaplin in Residence at George Washington University. He was also reported to be an associate of two of the 9/11 highjackers and a protege of Sheik Zindani.

According to FSM: “MAB (The Muslim Association of Britian) had invited American imam Anwar Al Awlaki to talk in Britain in June 2003. Awlaki was the spiritual adviser of two of the 9/11 attackers, Khalid Almihdar and Nawaf Alhazmi,. Twice busted for soliciting prostitutes in San Diego, Awlaki is still regarded by many Muslim websites as a “pure voice” of Islam. He fled to Yemen, and on August 31 this year, he was arrested in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, suspected of involvement in terror networks.””

“Report: Major Hasan Tried to Contact Al Qaeda”
Monday, November 09, 2009

SNIPPET: “Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan is suspected of a deadly rampage at the Fort Hood base in Texas.

U.S. intelligence agencies were reportedly aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was trying to contact people associated with Al Qaeda, ABC News reported.”

The report comes as news surfaced that the family of the alleged Fort Hood shooter held his mother’s funeral at the same Virginia mosque that two Sept. 11 hijackers attended in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there.”

SNIPPET: “The family of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who killed 13 and wounded 29 at the Texas military base, held his mother’s funeral at the Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., on May 31, 2001, according to her obituary in the Roanoke Times newspaper.

In 2001, Anwar Aulaqi was an imam, or spiritual leader, at the Washington-area mosque. Aulaqi told the FBI in 2001 that, before he moved to Virginia in early 2001, he met with 9/11 hijacker Nawaf al-Hazmi several times in San Diego. Al-Hazmi was at the time living with Khalid al-Mihdhar, another hijacker. Al-Hazmi and another hijacker, Hani Hanjour, attended the Dar al Hijrah mosque in Virginia in early April 2001.”

“Investigating Ft. Hood: Anwar al-Awlaki’s “Constants on the Path of Jihad”
By Evan Kohlmann”

SNIPPET: “One of the key questions for investigators who are now looking into potential links between radical Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and the accused perpetrator of the massacre at Ft. Hood, Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan, is understanding to what degree al-Awlaki’s extreme sermons may have influenced Hasan’s actions. Toward that end, they should be keeping an especially close eye out for one such al-Awlaki sermon in particular—”Constants on the Path of Jihad”—which itself is based upon an Arabic-language text penned by the founder of Al-Qaida’s network in Saudi Arabia, Yousef al-Ayyiri. In order to bring al-Ayyiri’s words to an English-speaking audience, al-Awlaki dedicated a lengthy lecture to his work—a lecture that over time has become the “virtual bible” for lone wolf Muslim extremists. In “Constants”, al-Awlaki argues:

“Jihad does not end with the disappearance of a person. Jihad must continue regardless because it does not depend on any particular leader or individual… Jihad does not depend on any particular land. It is global. When the Muslim is in his land, he performs jihad… No borders or barriers stop it. The message cannot be conveyed without jihad. If a particular people or nation is classified as… ‘the people of war’ in the Shariah, that classification applies to them all over the earth. Islam cannot be customized to suit the conditions where you are, for instance Europe.”

According to Awlaki, al-Ayyiri also instructed that “victory” cannot be limited to mere “military victories” alone, and should also include “sacrifice. The Mujahid sacrificing ‘his self’ and his wealth is victory. Victory of your idea, your religion. If you die for your religion, your death will spread the da`wa… Allah chooses Shuhada (martyrs) from amongst the believers. This is a victory.””

“U.S.-Born Yemen-Based Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki on His CA-Hosted Website: Fort Hood Shooter ‘Nidal Hassan Is A Hero’”

SNIPPET: “On October 21, 2009, MEMRI published two reports on U.S.-born imam Anwar Al-Awlaki: Special Dispatch No. 2610, “U.S.-Born Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki on the State of Jihad Eight Years After 9/11: The U.S. Cannot Win - There is No Rolling Back the Worldwide Jihad” [1] and Al-Awlaki’s article “44 Ways of Supporting Jihad,” on the MEMRI Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor. [2]

Following the November 5, 2009 shooting at Fort Hood army base in Texas, in which Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is accused of killing 13 and wounding 29, the connection between Hasan and Al-Awlaki came to light; Hasan’s family attended the Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, VA, where Al-Awlaki was preaching in 2001, [3] and Hasan, according to a Fort Hood acquaintance, was an admirer of Al-Awlaki [4] and expressed “deep respect” for his teachings. [5] Previously, the FBI linked the mosque to two of the 9/11 hijackers. [6]

On November 9, Al-Awlaki published an article on his website Anwar-alawlaki.com, in which he called Hasan a “hero” and “a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people.”
