Terrorist Gripes About Iraqi Al Qaeda Leaders
Saturday, August 06, 2005

BAGHDAD, Iraq — A letter allegedly written by an insurgent to the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq (search) complained of the lack of leadership in the northern terrorist cell in Mosul, according to excerpts provided by the U.S. military Saturday.

The letter, written to Jordanian leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (search) by a fighter calling himself Abu Zayd, was discovered by U.S. forces during a raid on an insurgent safe house in Mosul on July 27, the U.S command said. During the raid, six suspects were detained.

He complains that the Mosul (search) leadership of the Al Qaeda in Iraq branch is incompetent, lacks training, and does not collaborate. The letter's authenticity could not be independently verified.

The letter also criticizes "the lack of diversity in the attacks, and the unwillingness to go after the centers and headquarters especially when they are easy targets, and being content with sending suicide bombers after armored vehicles."

Also on the list of complaints: "squandering the Muslims' money on petty expenses, cars and phones."

He ends with the warning that al-Zarqawi need to "be attentive to the Jihad in Mosul and pursue its development." Otherwise, "the fall of Mosul in the hands of the mujahedeen is possible, and because it relieves the pressure off the other cities such as Qaim and Tal Afar."

His complaints echoed similar concerns raised in a letter written by a terrorist cell leader who fought in Fallujah and discovered during a raid in Baghdad in May, the military said.

Earlier this year, U.S. troops arrested several key Al Qaeda leaders in Mosul, including the head of the branch.

Al Qaeda in Iraq is led by al-Zarqawi and has claimed responsibility for numerous bombings, kidnap-slaying of foreign diplomats, beheadings of U.S. and other foreign hostages and suicide attacks.

I would like to be wrong, but I think we would
be kidding ourselves to think terrorism is going
to diminish anytime soon, and maybe not within
the lifetimes of anyone here.

There are probably 100 million Muslims who support
terrorism, and if only one in 100 of these were to
take part in it, then terrorism would have a virtually
inexhaustable supply of one million recruits.

Nor would they need to act at all in unison- 100 units
of 10,000 terrorists would not even need to know
of the others' existence to be a menace.

You can dice it however you want with numbers, but without money, support and leadership, the terrorists will decay as a threat. People will start turning them in because they'll no longer be afraid of them.

I heard myself that the terrorists in iraq were starting to unravel. I mean how long do these idiots have to go on before they see, hey, we're all dying but we're not changing anything! Brainless, gutless, idiots.

Within a supporting pool of 100 million there will be
money and leadership.

I hope to God you are right, but as of right now,
I think this is wishful thinking.
