A non-commissioned officer, Ali Jaafar Musa Hammadi al-Numani, wanted to "teach the invaders a lesson in the same manner of our Palestinian martyrdom fighters" who have carried out suicide attacks against Israel, state television said. "This is a blessed start. The enemies will face steadfastness, courage and martyrdom's souls," it warned. The television said the attack near the Muslim holy city of Najaf left 5 U.S. troops dead, "a great number of others killed, two armoured personnel carriers destroyed and two tanks damaged." The United States said four of its soldiers were killed. Describing the attack, the television said that "after kissing the holy Koran" he "drove a booby-trapped car toward enemy tanks and armoured personnel at the outskirts of Najaf." "He turned himself, his car and the explosives that he is carrying into a destruction missile by exploding himself at 10:15 am (0715 GMT) today," it said. President Saddam Hussein decided to award the "martyrdom fighter" two top posthumous medals of honor, including the decoration of Umm al-Maarik, or the Mothers of All Battles, as Baghdad calls the 1991 Gulf war, the report said. Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan later said: "This is only a beginning and you will hear good news in the coming days. We will use any means to stop the enemy and kill the enemy. "The whole Iraqi people, including its women, will transform themselves into fedayeen (martyrdom fighters)," he vowed in a press conference in Baghdad." (March 29, 2003) (Read More...)

"I call on Muslims to use all means possible to thwart the aggression, including martyr operations against the belligerent invaders," he said in a statement, a copy of which was faxed to Agence France-Presse (AFP). "Resistance to the belligerent invaders is an obligation for all Muslims, starting with (those in) Iraq," the mufti said. Conveying the same message, Al-Azhar delivered a statement on March 9, calling upon all Muslims for Jihad against Anglo-American invasion. Jihad is an individual duty for all Muslims if the U.S. launches a war against Iraq. Arabs and Muslims should be on high alert to defend themselves, their doctrine and lands," Al-Azhar's Islamic Research Academy told IslamOnline.net Monday, March 10."

Also on the list of prominent clerics were Dr. Abdul Razzaq Sikander who heads the Islamic seminary of Binori Town – one of the biggest and most influential religious schools not just in the port city of Karachi, but in the country. All the clerics belong to the hardline Deobandi school of thought. They run one of the biggest chain of Islamic schools in the country and many of the Taliban leaders were their students. They are ideological gurus of the two factions of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, the two key component parties of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal which dominates the North West Frontier Province and Balochistan province which border Afghanistan. Key militant groups including the outlawed Harkat-ul Mujahedeen, the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Sipah Sahaba Pakistan consider Shamzai, who is believed to have ties with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar and Osama bin Laden, their spiritual leader. The clerics said jihad had become mandatory on more than 1.2 billion Muslims. "They have to participate in the jihad according to their capacity. This has become mandatory against America, its allies and the Muslim rulers" who are siding with Washington, they said in a statement.")

ALERT...INA TODAY.com - INTERNATIONAL NEWS ANALYSIS -- TODAY: "AL QAEDA CALLS FOR WORLD-WIDE CAMPAIGN OF ESPIONAGE, SABOTAGE Assassinations Could Follow" by Toby Westerman (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Al Qaeda's call to the "brothers" is in retaliation for the U.S.-led attack against the regime of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The emotional appeal for "unity" following America's decision to attack Saddam gives evidence of a strong link between Baghdad and the terror network. In addition to spying on traditional military targets, Muslim spies, or "scouts" are to carefully watch high-ranking officers -- including supreme commander Tommy Franks -- and carefully note their habits. The officers' places of recreation and travel routes are of special interest to Al Qaeda, according to the Islamic Internet messages Die Welt cites. Observers note that Al Qaeda's keen interest in the movements of top U.S. and allied commanders raises the specter of assassination, a possibility made especially vivid by the recent murder of the Balkan reformer and Serb Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. Central Intelligence Agency resident operatives and their agents in Gulf states are also of interest. All those connected with the CIA "must be tracked down," declares the Al Qaeda message. Muslims working in allied bases in the Gulf are urged to provide a "long and detailed" list of information helpful to professional saboteurs, including the disposition of land, sea, and air forces. The "scouts" are to report all naval activity, the location of ships and where they dock, and pinpoint all operations centers. Muslims employed at allied military bases outside of the Gulf region are instructed to "locate command posts" and munitions areas, gather information on "how and where" aircraft and helicopters are fueled, note which units are stationed at the installation, and locate the position of Patriot missile batteries.")
