Presents
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
All praise be to Allah, Who honors Islam with His
Victory; and Who defeats polytheism by suppressing it;
and Who manages matters and affairs with His command;
and He Who brings gradually the infidels (into their
defeat). He Who has ordained fortunes and misfortunes
to revolve among people; and He Who secures the reward
for the Mutaqeen (pious people) with His Grace. Peace
and prayers are upon he (Prophet Muhammad) with who
Allah has raised high the Minaret of Islam with his
sword.
To Proceed:
Five U.S. fighter jets have carried out horrific air
strikes on innocent Muslims from the Bakazm tribe in
the village of Moajala in al-Mohfad district in Abyan
province ,after dawn prayers on Thursday the 1st of
Muharam 1431 H.
The brutal shelling on the village of Bakazm, resulted
in the killing of approximately fifty women and
children and men. At the same time they are waging
military campaign against the tribes of Arhab, on the
pretext of combating terrorism (Islam), and trying to
stop the increasing jihadi activities of the proud
sons of the tribes of Yemen.
And as we are in front of this great loss we want to
send our condolences to our Islamic nation, especially
the Bakazm tribes in their loss, and we ask Allah to
accept their martyrs, and to bestow upon them patience
and persistence on the Truth, "To Allah We belong, and
to Him is our return" (Baqarah: 156)
The Muslim people saw U.S. unmanned drones patrolling
the skies above the Yemen provinces a few months
before the massacre, and they are still doing it, in
violation of the sanctity of Muslims, and with the
connivance of the puppet Government in Yemen, they are
spying on the Muslims, and filming them, and killing
innocent Muslim people.
This massacre happened with the agreement and
coordination from Yemen, the U.S., Egypt, Saudi
Arabia, and the cooperation of other neighboring
countries.
And everyone Has seen the congratulations from the
commander of the Crusaders, the U.S. President Obama,
and the Pharaoh of the Arabs, Hosni Mubarak to the
Yemeni President regarding the brutal massacre on
Abyan Province. And with the permission of Allah we
will release more details about this later.
And in front of this brutal attack, we emphasize the
following:
1. That the war on our country is a hateful
Zionist-Crusader war, and it is still ongoing, aimed
at the elimination of Islam and its people in
Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Chechnya,
Waziristan and other Muslim countries.
2. This operation reveals the falsehood of the alleged
Western values of democracy and human rights, for they
are the ones who are killing innocent civilians with
air strikes, and committing genocide.
3. This massacre show us the magnitude of the
collaborating by the Yemeni government and the rulers
of the Arabian Peninsula supporting the
Zionist-Crusader campaign, and they have become a tool
in their hands; to kill our Muslim people.
4. The lies by the Yemeni government in their media
statements about the massacre, claiming that the
attacks are carried out by Yemen, while the Americans
acknowledged it was done by Americans.
5. The discourtesy of the Yemeni government with the
blood of Muslims, and their lies when they claimed
that no civilians were present during the operation.
The whole world has seen through the satellite
channels, the bodies of women and children, as
confirmed by the Director of the Mahvd district: "that
the death toll reached forty-nine women, children and
citizens."
6. The failure of the joint campaign to achieve its
goal to eliminate the Mujahideen in the Arabian
Peninsula in Abyan, Sana'a, and Arhab.
7. The proud Arhab tribes managed to stand strong in
breaking and repulsing the campaign that was going on
in Arhab district, sending the enemy back as filthy
losers.
8. We call on the Islamic scholars to fulfill their
duty by supporting the killed Muslims in this
massacre, and to explain to the people what the
Islamic rulings is when you help the Americans to kill
your fellow Muslim people.
9. We will not let the blood of Muslim women and
children be spilled without taking vengeance for them,
with the permission of Allah.
To conclude we call on all proud Yemeni tribes, the
people of support and victory, and the citizens of the
Arabian Peninsula to face the Crusader's campaign and
their agents on the land of Muhammad - peace be upon
him - by attacking military bases, embassies and
intelligence, and the existing fleets in the waters of
the Arabian peninsula and the surrounding territory;
so as to stop the repeated massacres on the Muslim
countries.
"And soon will the unjust assailants know what
vicissitudes their affairs will take!" (Ash-Shu'ara:
227)
