Al-Qaeda of Jihad in the Arabian Peninsula

(A Statement of Blessing and Support for the Operation of the Hero Hammam Al-Hammami)

Praise be to God, the Guardian of the believers, and there is no aggression except against the oppressors. Peace and blessings be upon the trustworthy Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

To proceed:

We congratulate our Muslim brothers in the east and west of the earth for the heroic and bold operation carried out by one of the zealous lions of Islam to hijack the (FlyDubai) plane, which was carrying approximately 180 Zionist Jews and which took off from the city of Dubai heading to the occupied lands in Palestine. This blessed operation has achieved a large part of its goals, praise be to God. The message that this operation carries is: “The Zionists and the Americans will not dream of security before we live it as a reality in Palestine.” Through this great event, we send several messages:

First: To the Zionist occupiers of our land, the shedders of the blood of our children and women, the destroyers of our homes upon the heads of their inhabitants: Do not think that your crimes against our nation and our blood will pass without reckoning. The Muslims have a long record of your crimes, and know that the nation of Islam is fertile and has thousands like this courageous lion. The news is what you see, not what you hear, by the power and might of God.

Second: To the zealous youth of the Muslim nation whose livers have been burned by the scenes of the ongoing massacres against our brothers, sisters, and children in Gaza: Let this Omani Muslim hero be an example for you. He exploited his job position to strike at the Zionist occupiers in revenge for his Muslim brothers. So let each of you exploit his capabilities as much as he can, and let your blood be a ransom for the blood of the children and women of Muslim Gaza. Let one of you be equal to a thousand men—by relying on God, then precise planning and skillful bravery. And perhaps God will heal the breasts of your nation through what you do.

Third: To our beloved Muslim nation: Plant in the hearts of your children the love of jihad and martyrdom. For the beloved chosen one (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “No people abandoned jihad except that they were humiliated.” And realize that we have no honor except by returning to the religion and establishing the obligation of jihad in the path of God. For it is the profitable trade with God, Glorified and Exalted is He, in which there is no loss.

And we have a remark regarding the statement of some American officials that they will proceed to execute our brother Hammam Al-Hammami; just as their president also approved the execution of our brother the heroic mujahid Nidal Hasan. We affirm to you what the Imam of Jihad in this era, Osama bin Laden—may God accept him—mentioned in response to a similar decision of their intention at that time to execute the noble brother Khalid Sheikh Mohammed; where he said: “And the day America takes this decision, it will have taken a decision to execute whoever of you falls captive in our hands.”

May God release all our Muslim prisoners and hasten the removal of the arrogant tyrants, and raise the banner of Islam in both worlds.

And God is the Greatest, and honor belongs to God, His Messenger, and the believers—but the hypocrites do not know.
