A Message to the Mujahideen in Saudi Arabia to Depart and Conduct their Jihad Against America Elsewhere

Writing to the Mujahideen in Saudi Arabia, a member of the password-protected al-Qaeda-affiliated forum, al-Hesbah, posted a message today, June 23, 2006, urging them to depart the land and conduct their jihad against America elsewhere, for their death by Saudi security officials is inevitable.  The message is written using poetic devices, lauding jihad and lamenting the force with which the Saudi government has taken steps against it and killed its leaders, including Abu Hajer al-Muqrin and Yusuf al-Ayiri..  The author states: “Our government left the criminals free…and it was interested in your heads. Our detectives took the front line in the mosques…to prevent us from praying for you. Our soldiers outnumbered the Mujahideen…they searched our pockets and they are looking for you and your pictures…our sheikhs raise their voices when cursing you…after that…am I wrong if I ask you, please depart?”

Rather than do jihad in Saudi Arabia, the author suggests that the Mujahideen depart for Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya or Palestine: “We want Allah to destroy America…but we want him to destroy it away from us”.
