SPIEGEL: How can you indiscriminately kill people in your own city? Did you avoid places that you had personal memories of?

Abu Abdullah: No, absolutely not! That played no role whatsoever. I didn't do it because I am bloodthirsty. It was jihad. I thought, at some point these Shiites would convert or leave the city. I'm not a butcher. I was carrying out a plan.

SPIEGEL: But the plan never worked, no matter how many people died. It just amplified the hatred.

Abu Abdullah: I thought that people who experienced an explosion would start to think and that they would be afraid...

SPIEGEL: Yet it didn't work.

Abu Abdullah: That didn't matter. My idea was to continue until all of them converted. Or emigrated. It didn't matter when. It didn't matter!
