Terrorism

“Mass murder brings States to falter”

The assassination of nice to have a jihadist strategy, which has been circulating for some time on the Internet. The goal is to kill with simple means a Maximum of people. A possibility: the attack with vehicles.

“You have no bombs? No Problem!”. What are the opportunities for jihadists to murder with the most primitive means of people, Abou Mohammed Al-Adnani, the former spokesman of the terrorist organization “Islamic state”, to his audience in September 2014 via a video message in the memory called.

In the Video he made concrete proposals on how to: “If you don’t find explosives or ammunition then an infidel Americans isolated, an infidel
French or one of your allies. Smashed him in the head with a stone, to kill him with a knife, run him with your car, throw him from somewhere, choking him, or poisoned him.”

It put Al-Adnani, whose real name is Taha Subhi Falaha, to the viewers of his Videos to heart. The instructions of 1977 or 1978 in the Syrian Region of Idlib-born terrorists are not only a sign of personal depravity. They pick up quite deliberately a strategy of “small-scale” terrorist attacks, which is circulating since 2005 in the network.

Terrorist cell in Afghanistan

How up to date this strategy is the stop of nice. For the first time, this statement of Al-Adnanis compatriot Mustafa ibn ‘ Abd al-Qadir Setmariam Naser has formulated. Probably born in 1958, the Syrians with the war name Abu Musab al-Suri once fought in Afghanistan on the side of the Mujahideen against the Red army.

There he met, among others, Osama bin Laden. Back in Europe, helped Al-Suri (“the Syrian”), to establish the presence of the jihadist network. Significant proportion of he was probably at the founding of the Spanish Al-Qaeda-group – of those who blew up in March 2003, several commuter trains in Madrid in the air.

Compounds are said to have Al-Suri also to those terrorists, the 2005 attack on the London underground with committed. In the same year, he was arrested in Pakistan, and later to Syria delivered. His trace is lost in the prisons of the Assad regime.

The inventor of the “small-scale” terror: Abu Musab al-Suri (re.), here with Osama with Bin Laden (li.)

After the publication in 2004 / 2005 the Internet became Al-Suris strategy with the title “call to global Islamic resistance” (Da’wat al-muqawamah al-islamiyyah al-‘alamiyyah) the jihadist guide. In it, he accused the “American Jewish crusaders” to destroy the Islamic world specifically. This is done through the “dissemination of a culture of decay, the depravity, the Ehebruchsl, the nudity, the mixing of the sexes and other kinds of social corruption.”

“Entgrenzter War”

As a reaction to this alleged decline, Al-Suri recommends the so-called “boundaryless” war, his writing leads in the title. Objectives there are many, of all kinds: politicians and the military; airports and ports, railway stations, bridges, interchanges, subways, and tourist destinations.

Also military bases and computer centers could attack; but also “soft” targets like media companies and their representatives. Also of interest are places where Jews gather, as well as leading Jewish personalities, and Jewish institutions. Be exempted places of worship and synagogues.

The “opposition” must be carried out according to the strategy in all its harshness: “The mass murder of the civilian population is the type of attack, which can bring countries and governments falter. This is done by attacking crowds of people, which leads to Maximum human losses.”

Funeral of Lee Rigby. The British soldier was killed in may 2013 by a jihadist with a knife.

It was easy, assured Al-Suri, because it is a lot of give to such goals. “For example, full sports arenas, once-a-year social events, large international exhibitions, market places, skyscrapers, buildings with a lot of people.”

It is exactly the program, the
Jihadists previously in Africa and Asia, and then in the attack on the editorial office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January, and the concert hall, the Bataclan in Paris in November 2015 to implement. To him, the two jihadists who drove in the UK in may 2013 soldier Lee Rigby on the open road with a car and then with a knife murdered followed.

“Management of barbarism”

In temporal proximity to the font of Abu Suri, another Text went online: “The Management of barbarism” (“Idarat at-tawahush”). Alleged author is an unidentified Egyptians with the battle name of Abu Bakr Naji. Bakr Naji was one of the pioneers of Al-Qaeda. He also argues for the use of maximum violence.

“If we are violent in our Jihad, but rather soft, then this will help to ensure that we lose our strength – which in turn is one of the pillars of the community of believers. A strong community is able to defend your positions; you can look forward to the horrors. These are the good qualities that we have lost in this age.”

The fight against the invisible danger: the soldiers on the protection patrol in Paris

Violence, Bakr Naji, is therefore a key Instrument in the fight. He think but less in actions, such as the airplane attacks on the World Trade Center in New York in September 2001. Rather, he recommends the “smaller” actions. The need to achieve one thing above all: The hearts of the crusaders in fear and terror.”
