Guerilla Warfare In Afghanistan Will NOT Cease,
Nor will it Cease in Iraq until Democracy Ends,
After troops are withdrawn a war will Come.
Iran’s Midget will have His Day in the Sun,
Until the Sun of Righteousness Appears,
To give Burning Justice to the Wicked
But Healing In His Wings For Saints
And A Thousand Years OF Peace!

Malachi 4:1-3 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
[3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Issues Statement To Mark the 9th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks, Advises the U.S. to “Lose Not Further Chances and Unconditionally Withdraw” Forces from Afghanistan
Special Dispatch No. 3261
September 29, 2010
On September 11, 2010, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban’s shadow government in Afghanistan), issued a statement marking the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. The statement calls upon the United States to “unconditionally withdraw” from Afghanistan and vows to wage jihad until an Islamic system is established in the country.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is headed by Mullah Muhammad Omar, who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan along with other top leaders of the Taliban’s Shura (executive) Council. For a number of years, there were media reports that the Taliban’s Shura Council was based in Quetta, the capital of Pakistan’s Baluchistan province.
However, in recent years, there has been speculation that the Shura Council has moved to Pakistan’s largest commercial city of Karachi, where Mullah Omar’s Deputy Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was captured early this year.
The statement, titled “Statement of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Regarding the Anniversary of the 9/11 Event,” was posted in both Pashtu and English languages by the jihadist web forum Al-Tahadi. This jihadist web forum cited a new web address for the statement, www.alemarah-iea.com, which appears to be the new official website of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as its previous web address www.alemarah.info has been down for the past few months.

Senior Jihadist Cleric Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi: All in the West Will Bear the Consequences of Koran Burnings, Mockery of the Prophet; There Will Be More Muhammad Attas and More Zarqawis
September 28, 2010
Special Dispatch No.
3260
Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi, the most influential religious scholar among global jihadists, has published a new article in which he warns the United States and other Western countries that they will be subject to attack as a result of the recent Koran burning controversy and other violations of Muslim sanctities. The main point of his article is to state that the populations of these countries on the whole are to be held responsible and punished for the anti-Islamic acts of individuals.
While Al-Maqdisi is not considered “operational” and is not affiliated with any jihad organization in particular, his threats need to be taken seriously, since others – whether individuals or organizations – will interpret his article as authorization and encouragement to act.
Al-Maqdisi is best known in the West as the mentor of former Al-Qaeda in Iraq commander Abu Mus’ab Al-Zarqawi, but his influence extends to all corners of the global jihad. In the past year he has corresponded with the commander of Al-Qaeda Maghreb, Abu Mus’ab ‘Abd Al-Wadoud, and with the late Chief Qadi of the Caucasus Emirate Anzor Astemirov, among others.
Through his fatwa council, he and his colleagues have recently dispensed guidance to radical Islamists in Britain, Belgium, Kazakhstan, and numerous other countries. On the same day that Al-Maqdisi’s article on the Koran burning issue was posted to his website, he also posted a new article championing Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Al-Maqdisi lives in Jordan, where in recent months he had been under constant surveillance. He was arrested on September 17, 2010, and as of now apparently remains in detention.

Taliban Magazine Claims Former Northern Alliance Commanders Are Joining Jihad in Takhar, Says: ‘Northern Afghanistan, Like the Afghan South, Will Turn into a Holocaust for the Crusaders and Their Lackeys’
Afghanistan’s northern Takhar province, bordering Tajikistan, is an area that has seen a marked increase in insurgent activity in the last few years. Takhar was most recently in the news when, on September 4, 2010, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) announced that it had captured the Taliban’s deputy shadow governor for the province. The govemor had just taken over from the previous one, an Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) commander named Muhammad Amin, who had been killed in a coalition airstrike on September 2.
That airstrike reportedly also killed a number of election campaign workers and wounded the candidate himself, Abdul Wahid Khurasani, leading to some uncertainty as to the coalition’s claims, or, alternatively, to questions as to the relation between Khurasani and the IMU. Following an internal probe, the ISAF stood by the operation: “We are very confident that the targeted individual was in the vehicle struck by the air weapons team and was killed.
The question remains why an election official or candidate was traveling with a known terrorist.”
The Taliban, in the Shawwal 1431 edition of their official Arabic-language magazine Al-Sumud, published an article devoted to developments in Takhar.
The article, titled “The Jihad in Takhar Province has Become a Tremendous Popular Movement,” claims that the Taliban is on the rise in Takhar and that it receives widespread cooperation from the population, including former commanders from the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance.
The following are excerpts:
“The Mujahideen of Takhar Province Operate Openly and Carry Out Their Jihadi Operations in Eight Districts Out of A Total of Fifteen”
After providing some basic geographical and demographical background on Takhar, the author, Irfan Balkhi, discussed the role of the province during the Soviet invasion, and then addressed its status in the current war:
“During the American invasion of Afghanistan, the Khwaja Bahauddin district [of Takhar province] was a strategic base from which the Crusader invasion directed and planned operations in Afghanistan.
It was the first place where the CIA spies, the commandos, and the American advisors landed. But today, by Allah’s grace, this district has become one of the bases from which the mujahideen’s operations are launched, and it plays a large role in inflicting damage on the Crusaders and their lackeys.
“When we asked one of the jihadi commanders in the province about districts in Takhar province that have seen an increase in jihadi activity, he mentioned first the districts of Khwaja Bahauddin, Darqad, and Yangi Qala. These areas were important bases for the Soviet forces, and later for the lackeys of the Americans in the forces of evil and corruption [i.e. the ruling Northern Alliance]. The major artery connecting Tajikistan and Afghanistan passed through these areas.
“The jihadi commander added that the population of Takhar have understood the facts and have come to realize the nature of the American occupier and his evil aims, and they are not fooled by the self-serving propaganda spread by the Crusaders and their lackeys in the region. They have stood by the mujahideen and are supporting them, offering them whatever help
and aid they can.
“The mujahideen of Takhar province operate openly and carry out their jihadi operations in eight districts out of a total of fifteen: Darqad, Khwaja Bahauddin, Yangi Qala, Khwaja Ghar, Baharak, Ishkamish, Kalafgan, and Taluqan. In the remaining districts, they have units through which they conduct clandestine guerilla warfare operations…”
“We Can Say that the [Use of] Militias [as a] Spearhead, which was an American Project in Northern Afghanistan, Has Been a Resounding Failure”
“Takhar was a strong base for the Northern Alliance, and some of its commanders were from this province.
But today, this strategic province has turned into a strong base for the mujahideen. Out of fear of the new leadership which has emerged on the scene and is conducting jihad against the Crusaders, the commanders of the Northern Alliance are trying to establish ties with the mujahideen, are contacting them, and are demonstrating their hostility to the American administration.
“The majority of the commanders of the former [i.e. anti-Soviet] jihad have kept silent, and are providing the weapons in their possession to the mujahideen.
Some have joined the jihadist movement. A small number of them enlisted in the [anti-Taliban] militias project. Of these, some have been killed, and some have fled the area out of fear of the sword of punishment that hunts down every traitor who wishes to betray Islam and the Muslims. One of those who joined the militias project was the commander Ruzuddin from Darqad, but he was killed in a confrontation with the mujahideen, and his unit was crushed and fell apart. Also, the commander ‘Isa, who had commanded mercenary militia units, handed himself in to the mujahideen and repented.
“We can say that the [use of the] militias [as a] spearhead, which was an American project in northern Afghanistan, has been a resounding failure, by the grace of Allah, and at present the militias do not present any challenge worth mentioning to the jihadist movement in this province.
“The activities of the mujahideen in Takhar have increased in a palpable manner this year; and have even doubled and significantly improved, by the grace of Allah. Anyone who browses the [Taliban’s] Emarah website can see this truth with his own eyes, in the news reports from Takhar province.
The mujahideen in Takhar province enjoy good relations with their brothers the mujahideen in the other provinces, such as Badakhshan, Kunduz, and Baghlan. They coordinate with them in order to conduct jihad operations that are more comprehensive and that have a greater effect in the area, so that northern Afghanistan, like the Afghan south, will turn into a holocaust for the Crusaders and their lackeys.”
