Jaish Ansar Al-Sunnah Reveals To The Islamic Ummah The Strategy Behind The Recent Attacks Against The Cross Worshippers And The Apostate Government/b>
In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds. Peace and prayer be upon the Imam (leader) of Mujahideen, his family and his companions.
The recent intensity of Mujahideen operations, including the timing and location of those operations, did not occur by accident. It was deliberately done to spoil the apostate Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari’s visit to Washington, DC.
The prime Minister had to scrap all of his originally prepared speeches, which were meant to convey to George Bush the news about the success of “operation lightening” and the new Iraqi government’s victory over the Mujahideen. This was supposed to paint a rosy picture of the ability of the new government to take care of security matter, thereby allowing Bush to claim progress and perhaps use that to declare “mission accomplished” and pave the way to withdraw from Iraq.
Your Mujahideen brothers have spoiled all of that. Jaafari was forced to change his speeches to the point that he was searching for words to describe the state of affairs in Iraq. instead of giving the cross worshipper Bush the opportunity to get out of Iraq, he was begging him to keep his (Bush’s) forces in Iraq.
The whole world watched both Bush and Jaafari’ in a joint press conference that failed to convince those in attendance (let alone those who have first hand knowledge from the battle ground) of any progress being made by either the Americans or the newly installed apostate government.
The Mujahideen have shown that “Operation Lightening” has failed. The descended unchallenged to many areas of Baghdad and took control and not even the American forces dared to challenge their presence.
We like to remind everyone that we constantly target the cross worshippers and whoever cooperates with them in any shape or form.
We would also like to bring glad tiding to people of Tawheed. We are dealing the enemies of Allah disgraceful defeat, by the Grace of Allah. We are certain that Allah will fulfill his promise to his faithful servants.
{Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to Our Servants sent (by Us), that they would certainly be assisted, and that Our forces, they surely must conquer.} 73:171-173 /b>

A former Yonkers resident and a Florida doctor were charged late Monday in a federal indictment with conspiring to aid al-Qaida.
Tarik Ibn Osman Shah, 42, of the Bronx, and Dr. Rafiq Sabir of Boca Raton, Fla., were arrested by federal agents in late May during an FBI sting operation.
Shah, a jazz musician and reputed martial arts expert, lived at 78 Oak St. in Yonkers until a couple of months before his arrest. He is accused of offering to train al-Qaida fighters in hand-to-hand combat. Sabir, a Columbia University-trained emergency room doctor, is accused of offering to treat wounded al-Qaida fighters in Saudi Arabia.
Both men swore an oath to al-Qaida in May during a phony induction ceremony in a Bronx apartment that was part of the sting operation, federal authorities said. An undercover FBI agent posing as an al-Qaida recruiter conducted the ceremony, according to an 18-page criminal complaint filed in the case.
The FBI operation lasted two years. It started when a longtime FBI informant told agents he had met Shah, who told the informant several mosques had prevented him from teaching martial arts to members after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the investigation appears to have been ratcheted up after Yonkers police stopped Shah's car after an alleged traffic violation and in a search of the car found the phone number of a convicted terrorist, authorities said.
Shah and Sabir have been held without bail since their arrests. Lawyers for the men did not return calls yesterday seeking comment. They each face up to 15 years in prison if convicted of the lone
