Al-Qaeda elements head to Sudan from Iraq – report

July 8, 2008 (BAGHDAD) – Al-Qaeda elements who fought against the US troops in Iraq are heading to Sudan and Somalia, a security source told the Gulf News.

Osama_bin_Laden.jpgDue to the intensity of latest military strikes launched against the terror organization by the US and Iraqi troops they escaped through the borders with Syria and Iran to Sudan and Somalia, the daily reported.

A source at Iraqi Ministry of National Security said that documents and letters found in hideouts of “some elements of Al Qaida” during search operations in Sunni suburbs in Baghdad, which were previously under the control of Al Qaida, “prove these elements left Iraq for Somalia and Sudan”.

The information could not be confirmed by independent sources.

Despite his criticism to the Sudanese government, Bin Laden said that the United States and Britain were seeking to dismember Sudan and urged his followers to fight them in Darfur, calling the United Nations an “infidel body” and a U.S. tool.
“I call on the mujahideen and their supporters in Sudan … and the Arabian peninsula to prepare … to wage a long-term war against the Crusaders in western Sudan,” bin Laden said on April 24, 2006.

On September 20, 2007, Al Qaeda’s second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri urged Sudanese Muslims in a video posted on Thursday to fight a force of African Union and U.N. peacekeepers set to deploy to Sudan’s volatile western region of Darfur.

The Islamist government in Khartoum sheltered Bin Laden between 1991 and 1996 before requesting him to leave the country to Afghanistan.

    AU,UN and all other African countries which are highly concern for the safety of Africa must act seriously through high level of security to ensure that this bloody notorious sadist is not hiding in Africa or with his brother beshir.Secondly i want to remain SPLA/M,JEM and SLM to work hard within Sudan so see that those notorious guys are not planning to carry their bloody terrorist genocide in Sudan particularly Durfur and ABeyi in South.Please it is time to act since we knew that beshir was planning to destroy African indigenous in their respective territories,my advice to African people that now it is going to be a very high issue and if we are not serious to face those who are aganist our race in Africa it means we are nothing and nothing will come.Al Qaida was defeated in iraq and Afghan by USA troops now he is heading to teach a very bad lession in Africa and we must act with this crazy guy.He is bloody unwanted terrorist on the earth and he seem to be a teacher of all the bad characters being practices in Sudan and somali aganist none muslim people particualrly African indigenous.We need to see the real Unity of African or those who are highly concerned for our dignity and pride.

    Please USA,UN,AU,all other concerns bodies beaware of this danger.We long time suspected Bin Laden to be in the Sudan because during the Civil war in Southern Sudan Bin Laden was in Juba killing the Southern Sudanese.Now this is the right time to capture this killer.

    God help us there is another Iraq coming up in the Western Dafure.

    Osama Bin Ladin was in Sudan/Khartoum including Juba Between 1991-1996.If Sudan and Somalia could be a safe heaven for Al Qaida operations,simply because these Arab World countries are much populated by illiterates,poor and weak muslims just eager to acept anything for the defense of Islam.See how the Afganstan people were manupulated for the course of Islam.Let me assure you that Islam is a Holy and Heavenly Religion but ONLY Human character and ideology spoils it.Again Al Qaida may survive in Sudan abundantly flowing with water,oil,Islam and enough space.Not only that Al Qaida can survive by the LRA too.WATCH OUT,THERE IS REAL DANGER AND SUFFERING AHEAD.
