Osama Bin Laden is urging Muslims in Pakistan to attack Americans and the Pakistani government, pamphlets being circulated in the region state.
The leaflets were seen at markets in Miransha and Mir Ali on May 6. They called on Pakistani Muslims to help the “oppressed people of Waziristan” in northern Pakistan.
The message states: “Pakistani Muslims, may Allah reward you and bless you for what you did for your brothers who were affected in the Oct. 8 earthquake. It is incumbent upon you to come forward and help the great sons of the tribal Pakhtuns whose houses have been demolished by the Pakistan Army to please the U.S. government. I pray to Allah Almighty to accept the martyrdom of those who laid down their lives in jihad and gave health to the injured and blessed their families. I also pray to Allah to punish Bush, Pervez Musharraf, and their forces and give them the punishment that they deserve as well as giving an opportunity to one of the lions of Islam to kill Bush's slave in Pakistan.”
Can't afford to take out a full page spread in the New York Times, Binny? Are we down to pamphlets? Sorry about Zark. Nothing personal, it was just business, ya know.
Al Qaida has tried several times to assassinate Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf but failed.
Lions of Islam blew it twice.
Meanwhile, the FBI is seeking to set up a field office in Chitral, Pakistan, in the remote frontier province bordering Afghanistan.
Not exactly a cushy duty station. |
