FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
During their attack, the US forces seized laptops, notepads and hard drives
that are said to have amounted to 2.7 terabytes of data – equivalent to
about 220 million pages of text.
The first detailed leak of this material shows the al-Qaeda chief selected
Ilyas Kashmiri, a Pakistani jihadist, to carry out the attacks against their
high-profile American targets. “Please ask brother Ilyas to send me the
steps he has taken,” he is said to have written to a top lieutenant.
Kashmiri is believed to have been killed in a drone strike on South Waziristan
last June.
A US security official said of the documents: “Bin Laden clearly had bold
ambitions to kill as many innocent people as possible”.
However the official claimed that “al-Qaeda’s capabilities did not match
bin Laden’s intent” because the network had been “greatly
diminished” by the decade-long US effort against them.
Officials claim al-Qaeda would have lacked the weapons to bring down a US
aircraft. However bin Laden is said to have ordered aides to “ask the
brothers in all regions if they have a brother who can operate in the US”.
He was seeking those who could “live there” or “travel there”,
potentially pointing to plans for another unconventional attack rather than
a straightforward strike.
The leaked documents are part of a cache that the US government plans to
declassify and release to the public within months. They also reinforce
previous reports that bin Laden had come to believe that his group’s brand
was fatally tarnished and that they should begin using a new name.
Blaming Mr Obama, who had “largely stopped using the phrase ‘the war on
terror’ in the context of not wanting to provoke Muslims,” he
reportedly proposed 10 alternative names including “Taifat al-tawhid
wal-jihad,” or Monotheism and Jihad Group, according to Ignatius.
The US official told The Daily Telegraph that the documents paint a picture of
a “brooding” bin Laden who “was obsessively focused on the
group’s own image” from his Abbottabad hideout.
al-Qaeda’s public relations strategy was sophisticated enough that Adam
Gadahn, a US-born media adviser to bin Laden, reportedly specified which
media outlets they should send a video message marking the tenth anniversary
of the September 11 attacks.
“It should be sent for example to ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN,” Gadahn
reportedly wrote. However his message showed the group was scornful towards
Fox News, Rupert Murdoch’s Right-leaning cable television news network,
whose pundits have consistently demanded a more aggressive stance towards
al-Qaeda.
“As for Fox News let her die in her anger,” Gadahn wrote, according
to Ignatius. “From a professional point of view, they are all on one
level – except Fox News, which falls into the abyss as you know, and lacks
objectivity, too.”
