Calls to Jihad Are Said to Lure Hundreds of Militants Into Iraq

LONDON, Oct. 31 -- Across Europe and the Middle East, young
militant Muslim men are answering a call issued by Osama bin
Laden and other extremists, and leaving home to join the fight
against the American-led occupation in Iraq, according to
senior counterterrorism officials based in six countries.
The intelligence officials say that since late summer they have
detected a growing stream of itinerant Muslim militants headed
for Iraq. They estimate that hundreds of young men from an array
of countries have now arrived in Iraq by crossing the Syrian or
Iranian borders.
But the officials say this influx is not necessarily evidence
of coordination by Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups, since it
remains unclear if the men are under the control of any one
leader or what, if any, role they have had in the kind of deadly
attacks that shook Baghdad on Monday. A European intelligence
official called the foreign recruits "foot soldiers with limited
or no training."
A senior British official, who was in Iraq in September, said
most of the foreign men captured there were from the Middle East
-- Syria, Lebanon and Yemen -- or North Africa. He described
them as "young, angry men" motivated by the "anti-British,
anti-American rhetoric that fills their ears every day."
Signs of a movement to Iraq have also been detected in Europe.
Jean-Louis Bruguière, France's top investigative judge on
terrorism, said dozens of poor and middle-class Muslim men had
left France for Iraq since the summer. He said some of them
appeared to have been inspired by exhortations of Qaeda leaders,
even if they were not trained by Al Qaeda.
Mr. Bruguière, who earlier this year opened an investigation
of young men leaving France to fight on the side of Muslims in
Chechnya, said the traffic to Iraq was now a similar problem.
He called the changing pattern "a new threat."
The rising agitation in parts of the Muslim world over the
American-led occupation in Iraq was clear at Friday Prayers at
Al Nur Mosque in a working-class section of Berlin. Dr. Izzeldin
Hamad, the director of the Saudi-financed mosque, said political
discussion was banned there.
But outside, a 21-year-old man who identified himself as Akmed
said that while Saddam Hussein was unpopular, now "there are
people who are angry about the American occupation." He and
others said that inside the mosque, collections usually
requested for Muslims in Palestine and Chechnya were now being
offered for Iraq as well.
An initial hint that Iraq would become a magnet for foreign
recruits came just before the war began in March, with the arrest
in Syria of four Algerian men, who had been living in Hamburg and
attending a mosque frequented by three of the Sept. 11 hijackers.
The authorities believed that the men intended to fight in Iraq.
One of them, Abderazak Mahdjoub, whom German investigators have
linked to a Spanish-based terror network, is under investigation
for alleged involvement in a planned terror strike on a tourist
location on the Costa del Bravo in Spain. Syria deported the men
to Germany, but none of the four men is in custody, since there
is no German law against going to Iraq.
A senior German intelligence official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said the authorities had detected other cases of
immigrants in Germany trying to go to Iraq. "We know that in
Germany there are people in the militant Muslim scene who are
willing to go other places to participate in jihad, including
Iraq," the official said.
There are scattered reports from other places, including Saudi
Arabia, where a senior Saudi official said two Saudi militants,
believed to have ties to Al Qaeda, were missing from the kingdom
and believed by the authorities to have gone to Iraq.
Intelligence officials, who base their assessment of the traffic
into Iraq on surveillance of mosques and Islamic centers and on
interrogations of terrorist suspects captured inside Iraq, say
they have found no connections between the recruits. "Nobody is
organizing this move from Europe to Iraq," a senior European
counterterrorism official said. "At least it is difficult to
analyze and know who is organizing this. This may be just the
beginning of a new phenomenon."

Al-Qa'ida Website, Back On-Line Publishes Book About its War on
the U.S. and Bombing in Saudi Arabia
Al-Qa'ida's website, which was originally called Al-Nida and
then changed its name and URL every few days to avoid being
hacked, had disappeared from the Internet following the killing
of its site director, Sheikh Yousef Al-Ayyeri, in early June 2003
in Saudi Arabia. The website has now been reactivated, at
http://www.faroq.org/news/. Among the postings on the site is a
book called "The Raid of the 11th of Rabi' Al-Awwal - The Eastern
Riyadh Operation and Our War on America and Its Agents."
The book's foreword states, among other things, that the "raid of
the 11th of Rabi' Al-Awwal 1424 [the May 12, 2003 suicide
attack on Western residential housing complexes in Riyadh]... was
but the opening shot, Allah willing, and the Mujahiddeen had
a need for this detailed communiqué to present the reasons for
the Jihad activity in the Arabian Peninsula and to remove some
of the religious and military problems regarding it."
The following are excerpts from each of the book's
four chapters:(1)
Chapter I: The Reality of the Islamic World
"...The Muslim countries are today subject to overt or covert
colonialism. The last century was the century of direct colonialism
in the Muslim countries... By the end of the colonialist era, the
colonialist states were no longer capable of withstanding the
painful blows they were taking from the hands of the Mujahiddeen...
At this point, Zionism intervened, [suggesting] that they would
protect the colonialists' interests and rescue them from the
complicated situation in which they found themselves. It concealed
colonialism in the most naive way... It did not change the schemes
of colonialism, rather the figures leading it: Why should we not
comply with the desire of the resistance and replace those with
blue eyes and blond hair with our own people, who speak our
language, and wear sheepskins over a wolf's heart? Why should we
not replace the name John or Napoleon with the name Muhammad,
Anwar, or Abd Al-Aziz?...
"A 'Karzai' regime exists officially in all the Muslim countries.
All rulers are crowned in the Karzai way... The legitimacy of any
of these Karzais is no different than that of his brothers...
The rulers of the land of the two holy places [Saudi Arabia] are
no different than the others...
"The real ruler is Crusader America; the subjugation of these
rulers [to America] is no different than the subjugation of
district rulers to the king or president of their country...
Anyone who fights them is in effect fighting the one who has
given them authority and made them rulers over the Muslims...
"The breasts of the Jews - Allah's curses upon them - are filled
with an arrogance that is not present in others, and therefore
they have not settled for the kind of covert colonialism that
satisfies the Crusader countries. Likewise, their occupation of
Muslim Palestine stems from the belief that they cannot give it
up, or else they would be apostates from their Judaism, exactly
like the Arab rulers were apostates from Islam to which they
belonged...
"The issue of Palestine is [actually] the issue of the Islamic
world... but the Zionist media and the collaborating media
neutralized the non-Arab Muslims by calling it 'the Arab issue.'
Repeating [this term] has a powerful effect on the distortion of
consciousness and eradication of the facts, and thus every
non-Arab Muslim has been excluded of those interested in the
Palestine issue...
"The establishment of the Palestinian state wrested the issue
even from [the hands of] the countries of confrontation, and
made it an issue of the Palestinian state and its treacherous
government, headed by the vilest of agents ever in history -
Yasser Arafat, who will get what he deserves from Allah...
"The situation of the armies in the collaborating countries
proves clearly that resistance to aggression, primarily to the
American [aggression], by these feeble armies is nearly
impossible...
"The sensitivity of [the land of the two holy places, namely
Saudi Arabia] requires it to have a powerful army - let alone
that this is what all the Muslims are ordered to carry out, as
Allah said: 'Make ready for them all armed strength and of
mounted pickets that you can, whereby you may scare the enemy
of Allah and your enemy'...
"Regarding the army of the government of the land of the two
holy places, after consecutive years of profligate squandering of
money that, they claimed, was going for arming it, when the
country felt endangered by Saddam the rulers simply announced
that the army was incapable of defending the country and brought
in, in an act that was a precedent of its kind, the American
Crusader armies in fortified bases, on the pretext of defending
the country...
"While we see that the Israeli army includes over one million
soldiers in a midget country whose inhabitants number six million,
while its reserve army includes all men capable of bearing
arms - the army in the land of the two holy places is the smallest
and weakest [in the region] with regard to armaments and equipment
and with regard to training and willingness to defend the
religion and the honor..."
Chapter II: What is the Solution?
"...We have presented some of the American crimes against the
Muslims. Even if the religion [of Islam] were not stirring the
Muslims to fight America, their [i.e. the Americans'] crimes
would be enough to arouse in them [i.e. Muslims] the courage and
gallantry to retaliate... [For] the Muslim countries in this
situation - Jihad is what they need more than anything else,
except food and water. Jihad is... a commandment that applies
personally to every Muslim.
"Even if people disagree today regarding which of these two
groups - the apostate traitor agents [i.e. the Arab governments]
or the colonialist enemies [i.e. the Americans] - is more worthy
to wage Jihad against, there need be no disagreement that Jihad is
the solution for dealing with both of them...
"Although the Al-Qa'ida organization fights to defend the [Islamic]
nation, it does not fight on the nation's behalf; therefore, anyone
who cannot join Al-Qa'ida is not exempt from the obligation of Jihad
[until] he has done everything possible to search for Jihad and did
not succeed in joining any of its fronts, and after he has invested
his best efforts, as he would in search for a medical specialist for
a dread disease for someone dear to him..."
Chapter III: Why Riyadh?
"Many of those who esteem Jihad and the Mujahiddeen were amazed
at and even condemned the Riyadh bombing, although they support
bombings against America and American interests in other
countries. Therefore, we would like to answer the
question that [was] on the lips of many: Why Riyadh?
"Anyone who asks this question must recall the religious texts
that command fighting all polytheists. Allah said: ... 'When
the four months in which fighting is forbidden have passed,
fight the polytheists everywhere you find them...' We found the
Americans in Riyadh, and killed them in Riyadh.
"Similarly, it must also be noted that in its war with America,
the Al-Qa'ida organization adopted the strategy of expanding the
battle arena... This strategy has priceless advantages; the enemy
who had only his country to defend realized that he now must
defend his enormous interests in every country...
"While this strategy might cause some damages to Muslims in
the process of defending the nation, this happens all the time,
and in every Jihad. The Afghans suffered long years of war
because they stood up to the Communist invasion that sought to
conquer, among other things, the land of the two holy places,
and that even managed to set foot in the southern Arabian
Peninsula by means of the Communist country in Southern Yemen
that is now extinct.
"Even the collaborating countries operate according to this
rule... The government of the land of the two holy places
charges [its] public for the expenses of its attack on the
Mujahiddeen in the so-called war on terror... on the pretext
that there is no other way to implement the interest of the
people. It is better that some damage be caused to the people
in the interests of religion than in the interests of
establishing the thrones of the despots and agents..."
Chapter IV: The Eastern Riyadh Operation
"On the 11th of Rabi' Al-Awwal, 1424, a group of the youths
of Islam set out and attacked Crusader complexes in eastern
Riyadh, in one of the highest quality operations that even a
few American officials were forced to admit was a well-planned
commando operation... This operation reminded the Americans
that they cannot dream of security before the Muslims in
Palestine experience it, and before all Crusader countries
leave the peninsula of the Prophet Muhammad...
"In the past, it was agreed between the collaborating government
in the land of the two holy places and America that these
complexes would be part of the U.S. The Americans have religious
freedom in them; nothing is forbidden to them. There are
churches there, bars, dance clubs, mixed swimming pools, and
all sorts of heresy. They are not subject to [Islamic] religious
law; furthermore, they are not subject to the sovereignty of the
[Saudi] government itself. The police and security forces do not
enter there, and neither does the Commission for the Promotion
of Virtue and Prevention of Vice [i.e. the Saudi religious
police]...
"The number [of those carrying out the bombing] reported by
the press is inaccurate. Some of them who were not predestined
for martyrdom continue to cause losses to the enemies of Allah,
the Americans, in Iraq, and carried out acts of heroism there...
"The Americans and the agent governments that support them,
like the Karzai government in Afghanistan, the [Pervez]
Musharraf government in Pakistan, the Fahd government in the
land of the two holy places, and the Ali Abdallah Saleh
government in Yemen, are permissible targets for Mujahiddeen,
according to [Islamic] religious law... They [i.e. the Arab
governments] and the Americans are identical, both in their
war on [Islam] and in the extent to which they are a target
for the Mujahiddeen..."
