Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi’s Letter to Osama bin Laden (2004)
February 2004 Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq English
translation of terrorist Musab al-Zarqawi’s letter to
Osama bin Laden intercepted by Kurdish forces and obtained by the United States
Government in Iraq. This was almost one year after the March 2003 invasion of
Iraq by the US at a time when the war was heating up significantly and not
going well for US forces. Source: US Department of State

Author of the letter, the Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (1966-2006), founder of a terrorist
organization in Jordan in the 1990s that became al-Qaeda in Iraq in October
2004 and later morphed into ISIS. He tries in the letter to convince
al-Qaeda’s leader Osama bin Laden of the need to attack Shi’a Muslims in
Iraq, a point on which they disagreed. A US airstrike killed Zarqawi in Iraq
in 2006. |
The intended recipient of the letter, Osama bin
Laden (1957-2011), a native of Saudi Arabia who rose to fame among the mujahidin (“holy warriors”) during the
US-supported war against Soviet forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Afterward
he became leader of al-Qaeda, the terrorist network that oversaw the attacks
on the US on 9/11. A US raid killed him in Pakistan in 2011. |
GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS
(A definition of the terms in bold on first
mention in the text in order of mention):
|
Jihad: the main Qur’anic meaning of this term is the struggle
within oneself to do good rather than evil; a secondary Qur’anic meaning,
which has become its primary meaning in the modern context, is “holy war” or
struggle against non-believers/infidels. |
Mujahidin: translates as “holy warrior,” the same term used to
describe the forces fighting against Soviet troops in Afghanistan, which is
where Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab Zarqawi first
met in 1989. |
|
Mesopotamia:
translates as “the land between the rivers,” meaning the Euphrates and Tigris
rivers, and is the ancient Biblical name for modern Iraq. |
al-Aqsa Mosque: an ancient mosque in Jerusalem, that the Prophet Muhammad
is said to have visited during his “Night Journey”; it is considered to be
the third holiest mosque in Islam behind those in Mecca and Medina. |
|
Zionized American administration: this is a reference by Zarqawi to the US government’s
(specifically the George W. Bush administration at the time of his writing)
support for Israel. |
Sunni Triangle: a
geographic region in Iraq largely synonymous with Anbar Province, i.e. the
Western-most area of the country where a Sunni Muslim majority resides. |
|
Shi’a: one of the two
main sects of Islam (along with the Sunni); the Shi’a reject the earliest
Caliphs or “Successors” to the Prophet Muhammad in favor of Ali, Muhammad’s
cousin and son-in-law who became the fourth Caliph, and his descendants. |

Islam that emerged in the second half of the 19th
century and advocates a return to the traditions of the “devout ancestors”
known as the salaf. |

Achilles at the siege of Troy; a hired ruffian or unscrupulous subordinate. |
Sabeans: the reference is to a pre-Islamic pagan people inhabiting
what is today modern Yemen. |

Even
if our bodies are far apart, the distance between our hearts is close. . . . I
hope that both of us are well. I ask God the Most High, the Generous, [to have]
this letter reach you clothed in the garments of health and savoring the winds
of victory and triumph. Amen.
I send you an account that is appropriate to [your] position and that removes
the veil and lifts the curtain from the good and bad [that are] hidden in the
arena of Iraq.
As you know, God favored the [Islamic] nation with jihad on His behalf in
the land of Mesopotamia. It is known
to you that the arena here is not like the rest. It has positive elements not
found in others, and it also has negative elements not found in others. Among
the greatest positive elements of this arena is that it is jihad in the Arab heartland. It is a stone's throw from the lands
of the two Holy Precincts [Mecca and Medina] and the al-Aqsa [Mosque]. We know from God's religion that the true,
decisive battle between infidelity and Islam is in this land, i.e., in
[Greater] Syria and its surroundings. Therefore, we must spare no effort and
strive urgently to establish a foothold in this land. Perhaps God may cause
something to happen thereafter. The current situation . . . makes it necessary
for us to examine this matter deeply, starting from our true Law and the
reality in which we live.
Here is the current situation as I, with my limited vision, see it. I ask God
to forgive my prattle and lapses. I say, having sought help from God, that the
Americans, as you know well, entered Iraq on a contractual basis and to create
the State of Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates and that this Zionized American Administration believes
that accelerating the creation of the State of [Greater] Israel will accelerate
the emergence of the Messiah. It came to Iraq with all its people, pride, and
haughtiness toward God and his Prophet. It thought that the matter would be
somewhat easy. Even if there were to be difficulties, it would be easy. But it
collided with a completely different reality. The operations of the brother mujahidin began from the first moment,
which mixed things up somewhat. Then, the pace of operations quickened. This was
in the Sunni Triangle, if this is
the right name for it. This forced the Americans to conclude a deal with the Shi’a [Muslims], the most evil of
mankind. The deal was concluded on [the basis that] the Shi’a would get
two-thirds of the booty for having stood in the ranks of the Crusaders against
the mujahidin.
First: The Makeup [of Iraq]
In general, Iraq is a political mosaic, an ethnic mixture, and scattered
confessional and sectarian disparities that only a strong central authority and
an overpowering ruler have been able to lead, beginning with Ziyad Ibn Abihi (translator’s
note: 7th century A.D. ruler) and ending with Saddam [Hussein]. The
future faces difficult choices. It is a land of great hardships and
difficulties for everyone, whether he is serious or not.
As for the details:
The Kurds
[They] have given the bargain of their hands and the fruit of their hearts to
the Americans. They have opened their land to the Jews and become their rear
base and a Trojan horse for their plans. They (the Jews) infiltrate through
their lands, drape themselves in their banners, and take them as a bridge over
which to cross for financial control and economic hegemony, as well as for the
espionage base for which they have built a large structure the length and breadth
of that land. In general, Islam's voice has died out among them—the Kurds—and
the glimmer of religion has weakened in their homes. . . .
The Shi’a
[They are] the insurmountable obstacle, the lurking snake, the crafty and
malicious scorpion, the spying enemy, and the penetrating venom. We here are
entering a battle on two levels. One, evident and open, is with an attacking
enemy and patent infidelity [i.e. the US]. [Another is] a difficult, fierce
battle with a crafty enemy who wears the garb of a friend, manifests agreement,
and calls for comradeship, but harbors ill will. . . . The unhurried observer
and inquiring onlooker will realize that Shi’ism is the looming danger and the
true challenge. “They are the enemy. Beware of them. Fight them. By God, they
lie.” History’s message is validated by the testimony of the current situation,
which informs most clearly that Shi’ism is a religion that has nothing in
common with Islam except in the way that Jews have something in common with
Christians under the banner of the People of the Book. From patent polytheism,
worshipping at graves, and circumambulating shrines, to calling the Companions
[of the Prophet] infidels and insulting the mothers of the believers and the
elite of this [Islamic] nation, [they] arrive at distorting the Qur’an as a
product of logic to defame those who know it well [i.e. the Sunni]. . . . These
[the Shi’a] are a people who added to their infidelity and augmented their
atheism with political cunning and a feverish effort to seize upon the crisis
of governance and the balance of power in the state, whose features they are
trying to draw and whose new lines they are trying to establish through their
political banners and organizations in cooperation with their hidden allies—the
Americans.
These [have been] a sect of treachery and betrayal throughout history and
throughout the ages. It is a creed that aims to combat the Sunnis. When the
repulsive Ba’th regime [of Saddam Hussein] fell, the
slogan of the Shi’a was “Revenge, revenge, from Tikrit [Saddam Hussein’s home
village] to al-Anbar [the predominantly Sunni western province of Iraq].” This
shows the extent of their hidden rancor toward the Sunnis. However, their
religious and political ‘ulama’ [clergy] have been
able to control the affairs of their sect, so as not to have the battle between
them and the Sunnis become an open sectarian war, because they know that they
will not succeed in this way. They know that, if a sectarian war was to take
place, many in the [Islamic] nation would rise to defend the Sunnis in Iraq.
Since their religion is one of dissimulation [or subterfuge], they maliciously
and cunningly proceeded another way. They began by taking control of the
institutions of the state and their security, military, and economic branches.
As you, may God preserve you, know, the basic components of any country are
security and the economy. They are deeply embedded inside these institutions
and branches.
I
give an example that brings the matter home: the Badr
Brigade [a Shi’a militia], which is the military wing of the Supreme Council of
the [Iranian] Islamic Revolution, has shed its Shi’a garb and put on the garb
of the police and army in its place. They have placed cadres in these
institutions, and, in the name of preserving the homeland and the citizen, have
begun to settle their scores with the Sunnis. The American army has begun to
disappear from some cities, and its presence is rare. An Iraqi army has begun
to take its place, and this is the real problem that we face, since our combat
against the Americans is something easy. The enemy is apparent, his back is
exposed, and he does not know the land or the current situation of the mujahidin because his intelligence
information is weak. We know for certain that these Crusader forces [the US]
will disappear tomorrow or the day after. He who looks at the current situation
[will] see the [Shi’a] enemy’s haste to constitute the army and the police,
which have begun to carry out the missions assigned to them. This enemy, made
up of the Shi’a filled out with Sunni agents, is the real danger that we face,
for it is [made up of] our fellow countrymen, who know us inside and out. They
are more cunning than their Crusader [US] masters, and they have begun, as I
have said, to try to take control of the security situation in Iraq. They have
liquidated many Sunnis and many of their Ba’th Party
enemies and others beholden to the Sunnis in an organized, studied way. They
began by killing many mujahid
brothers, passing to the liquidation of scientists, thinkers, doctors,
engineers, and others. I believe, and God knows best, that the worst will not
come to pass until most of the American army is in the rear lines and the
secret Shi’a army and its military brigades are fighting as its proxy. They are
infiltrating like snakes to reign over the army and police apparatus, which is
the strike force and iron fist in our Third World, and to take complete control
over the economy like their tutors the Jews. As the days pass, their hopes are
growing that they will establish a Shi’a state stretching from Iran through
Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon and ending in the Cardboard Kingdom of the Gulf. The Badr Brigade entered carrying the slogan of revenge against
Tikrit and al-Anbar, but it shed its garb and then put on the emblem[s] of the
army and police to oppress the Sunnis and kill the people of Islam in the name
of law and order, all under cover of smooth talk. . . . Their [Shi’a] hearts
are full of vinegar and ire like no others with regard to Muslims old and
young, godly and ungodly. . . .
And with all this, let the people of Islam know that we are not the first to
have begun going down this road. We are not the first to have brandished the
sword. These people (the Shi’a) are continuing to kill those who call for Islam
and the mujahidin of the community,
stabbing them in the back under cover of the silence and complicity of the
whole world, and, regretfully, even of the symbolic figures beholden to the
Sunnis.
Moreover, they are a bone in the throats of the mujahidin and a dagger in [the backs of] their leading
personalities. People without exception know that most of the mujahidin who have fallen in war have
done so at the hands of these people. The wounds are still spreading, and they
are working the daggers of hatred and cunning in them assiduously, Night or
day, they do not let up.
As regards the Sunnis
They are more wretched than orphans at the tables of
the depraved. They have lost the[ir]
leader and wandered in the desert of artlessness and negligence divided and fragmented,
having lost the unifying head who gathered the scattered [pieces] and prevented
the egg from shattering. They also are [of various] kinds.
The Masses
These masses are the silent majority, absent even though present. “The
hooligans following everyone and his brother hungered. They did not seek
enlightenment from the light of science and did not take refuge in a safe
corner.” These, even if in general they hate the Americans, wish them to vanish
and to have their black cloud dissolve. But, despite that, they look forward to
a sunny tomorrow, a prosperous future, a carefree life, comfort, and favor.
They look ahead to that day and are thus easy prey for cunning information
[media] and political enticement whose [snakelike] hiss rings out. In any event,
they are the people of Iraq. . . .
The Mujahidin
These are the quintessence of the Sunnis and the good
sap of this country. In general, they belong to the Sunni doctrine and
naturally to the Salafi creed. . . .
In general, these mujahidin distinguish
themselves by the following:
1.
Most of them have little
expertise or experience, especially in organized collective work. Doubtlessly,
they are the result of a repressive regime that militarized the country, spread
dismay, propagated fear and dread, and destroyed confidence among the people.
For this reason, most of the groups are working in isolation, with no political
horizon, farsightedness, or preparation to inherit the land. Yes, the idea has
begun to ripen, and a light whisper has arisen to become noisy talk about the
need to band together and unite under one banner. But matters are still in
their initial stages. With God's praise, we are trying to ripen them quickly.
2.
Jihad here unfortunately [takes the form of] mines planted, rockets launched,
and mortars shelling from afar. The Iraqi brothers still prefer safety and
returning to the arms of their wives, where nothing frightens them. Sometimes
the groups have boasted among themselves that not one of them has been killed
or captured. We have told them in our many sessions with them that safety and
victory are incompatible, that the tree of triumph and empowerment cannot grow
tall and lofty without blood and defiance of death, that the [Islamic] nation
cannot live without the aroma of martyrdom and the perfume of fragrant blood
spilled on behalf of God, and that people cannot awaken from their stupor
unless talk of martyrdom and martyrs fills their days and nights. The matter
needs more patience and conviction. [Our] hope in God is great.
The Immigrant Mujahidin
Their numbers continue to be negligible as compared to the enormity of the
expected battle. We know that the convoys of good are many, that the march of jihad continues, and that only confusion
over the banner and a muffled reality keep many of them from [answering] the
call to battle. What prevents us from [calling] a general alert is that the
country has no mountains in which we can take refuge and no forests in whose
thickets we can hide. Our backs are exposed and our movements compromised. Eyes
are everywhere. The enemy is before us and the sea is behind us. Many an Iraqi
will honor you as a guest and give you shelter as a peaceable brother. As for
making his house into a base for launching [operations] and a place of movement
and battle, this is rarer than red Sulphur. For this reason, we have worn
ourselves out on many occasions sheltering and protecting the brothers. This
makes training the green newcomers like wearing bonds and shackles, even
though, praise be to God and with relentless effort and insistent searching, we
have taken possession of growing numbers of locations, praise be to God, to be
base sites for brothers who are kindling [the fire of] war and drawing the
people of the country into the furnace of battle so that a real war will break
out, God willing.
Second: The Current Situation and the Future
There is no doubt that the Americans’ losses are very heavy because they are
deployed across a wide area and among the people and because it is easy to
procure weapons, all of which makes them easy and mouth-watering targets for
the believers. But America did not come to leave, and it will not leave no
matter how numerous its wounds become and how much of its blood is spilled. It
is looking to the near future, when it hopes to disappear into its bases secure
and at ease and put the battlefields of Iraq into the hands of the foundling
government with an army and police that will bring the behavior of Saddam
[Hussein] and his myrmidons back to
the people. There is no doubt that the space in which we can move has begun to
shrink and that the grip around the throats of the mujahidin has begun to tighten. With the deployment of soldiers and
police, the future has become frightening.
Third: So Where are We?
Despite the paucity of supporters, the desertion of friends, and the toughness
of the times, God the Exalted has honored us with good harm to the enemy.
Praise be to God, in terms of surveillance, preparation, and planning, we have
been the keys to all of the martyrdom operations [i.e. suicide bombings] that
have taken place except those in the north. Praise be to God, I have completed
25 [operations] up to now, including among the Shi’a and their symbolic
figures, the Americans and their soldiers, the police and soldiers, and the
coalition forces. God willing, more are to come. What has prevented us from
going public is that we have been waiting until we have weight on the ground
and finish preparing integrated structures capable of bearing the consequences
of going public so that we appear in strength and do not suffer a reversal. We
seek refuge in God. Praise be to God, we have made good strides and completed
important stages. As the decisive moment approaches, we feel that [our] body
has begun to spread in the security vacuum, gaining locations on the ground
that will be the nucleus from which to launch and move out in a serious way,
God willing.
Fourth: The Work Plan
After study and examination, we can narrow our enemy down to four groups.
1. The Americans
These, as you know, are the most cowardly of God’s
creatures. They are an easy quarry, praise be to God. We ask God to enable us
to kill and capture them to sow panic among those behind them and to trade them
for our detained . . . brothers.
2. The Kurds
These are a lump [in the throat] and a thorn whose
time to be clipped has yet to come. They are last on the list, even though we
are making efforts to harm some of their symbolic figures, God willing.
3. Soldiers, Police, and Agents
These are the eyes, ears, and hands of the occupier,
through which he sees, hears, and delivers violent blows. God willing, we are
determined to target them strongly in the coming period before the situation is
consolidated and they control arrest[s].
4. The Shi’a
These in our opinion are the key to change. I mean
that targeting and hitting them in [their] religious, political, and military
depth will provoke them to show the Sunnis their rabies and bare the teeth of
the hidden rancor working in their breasts. If we succeed in dragging them into
the arena of sectarian war, it will become possible to awaken the inattentive
Sunnis as they feel imminent danger and annihilating death at the hands of
these Sabeans.
Despite their weakness and fragmentation, the Sunnis are the sharpest blades, the
most determined, and the most loyal when they meet the Shi’a, who are a people
of treachery and cowardice. They are arrogant only with the weak and can attack
only the broken-winged. Most of the Sunnis are aware of the danger of these
people, watch their sides, and fear the consequences of empowering them. . . .
This matter, with the anticipated awaking of the slumberer
and rousing of the sleeper, also includes neutralizing these [Shi’a] people and
pulling out their teeth before the inevitable battle, along with the
anticipated incitement of the wrath of the people against the Americans, who
brought destruction and were the reason for this miasma. The people must beware
of licking the honeycomb and enjoying some of the pleasures from which they
were previously deprived, lest they surrender to meekness, stay on the[ir] land, prefer safety, and
turn away from the rattle of swords and the neighing of horses.
5. The Work Mechanism
Our current situation, as I have previously told you, obliges us to deal with
the matter with courage and clarity and to move quickly to do so because we
consider that [unless we do so] there will be no result in which religion will
appear. The solution that we see, and God the Exalted knows better, is for us
to drag the Shi’a into the battle because this is the only way to prolong the
fighting between us and the infidels. We say that we must drag them into battle
for several reasons, which are:
1.
They, i.e., the Shi’a,
have declared a secret war against the people of Islam. They are the proximate,
dangerous enemy of the Sunnis, even if the Americans are also an archenemy. The
danger from the Shi’a, however, is greater and their damage is worse and more
destructive to the [Islamic] nation than the Americans, on whom you find a
quasi-consensus about killing them as an assailing enemy.
2.
They have befriended and
supported the Americans and stood in their ranks against the mujahidin. They have spared and are
still sparing no effort to put an end to the jihad and the mujahidin.
3.
Our fighting against the
Shi’a is the way to drag the [Islamic] nation into the battle. We speak here in
some detail. We have said before that the Shi’a have put on the uniforms of the
Iraqi army, police, and security [forces] and have raised the banner of
preserving the homeland and the citizen. Under this banner, they have begun to
liquidate the Sunnis under the pretext that they are saboteurs, remnants of the
Ba’th[ist Party of Saddam Hussein], and terrorists spreading evil
in the land. With strong media guidance from the Governing Council and the
Americans, they have been able to come between the Sunni masses and the mujahidin. I give an example that brings
the matter close to home in the area called the Sunni Triangle—if this is the
right name for it. The army and police have begun to deploy in those areas and
are growing stronger day by day. They have put chiefs [drawn] from among Sunni
agents and the people of the land in charge. In other words, this army and
police may be linked to the inhabitants of this area by kinship, blood, and
honor. In truth, this area is the base from which we set out and to which we
return. When the Americans disappear from these areas—and they have begun to do
so—and these agents, who are linked by destiny to the people of the land, take
their place, what will our situation be? . . .
I come back and again say that the only solution is for us to strike the
religious, military, and other cadres among the Shi’a with blow after blow
until they bend to the Sunnis. Someone may say that, in this matter, we are
being hasty and rash and leading the [Islamic] nation into a battle for which
it is not ready, [a battle] that will be revolting and in which blood will be
spilled. This is exactly what we want, since right and wrong no longer have any
place in our current situation. The Shi’a have destroyed all those balances.
God’s religion is more precious than lives and souls. When the overwhelming
majority stands in the ranks of truth, there has to be sacrifice for this
religion. Let blood be spilled, and we will soothe and speed those who are good
to their paradise. [As for] those who, unlike them, are evil, we will be
delivered from them, since, by God, God’s religion is more precious than
anything and has priority over lives, wealth, and children. . . . By God, o
brothers, with the Shi’a, we have rounds, attacks, and dark nights that we
cannot postpone under any circumstances. Their danger is imminent, and what we
and you feared is most certainly a reality. Know that those [Shi’a] are the
most cowardly of God’s creatures and that killing their leaders will only
increase their weakness and cowardice, since with the death of one of their
leaders the sect dies with him. It is not like when a Sunni leader dies. If one
dies or is killed, a sayyid
arises. In their fighting, they bring out courage and hearten the weak among
the Sunnis. If you knew the fear [that exists] among the Sunnis and their
masses, your eyes would cry over them in sadness. How many mosques have been
converted into Husayniyyas (Shi’a mosques), how many
houses have they demolished on the heads of their occupants, how many brothers
have they killed and mutilated, and how many sisters have had their honor
defiled at the hands of these depraved infidels? If we are able to strike them
with one painful blow after another until they enter the battle, we will be
able to [re]shuffle the cards. Then, no value or influence will remain to the
Governing Council or even to the Americans, who will enter a second battle with
the Shi’a. This is what we want, and, whether they like it or not, many Sunni
areas will stand with the mujahidin.
Then, the mujahidin will have assured
themselves land from which to set forth in striking the Shi’a in their
heartland, along with a clear media orientation and the creation of strategic
depth and reach among the brothers outside [Iraq] and the mujahidin within.
1.
We are striving urgently
and racing against time to create companies of mujahidin that will repair to secure places and strive to
reconnoiter the country, hunting the enemy—Americans, police, and soldiers—on
the roads and lanes. We are continuing to train and multiply them. As for the
Shi’a, we will hurt them, God willing, through martyrdom operations and car
bombs.
2.
We have been striving
for some time to observe the arena and sift those who work in it in search of
those who are sincere and on the right path, so that we can cooperate with them
for the good and coordinate some actions with them, so as to achieve solidarity
and unity after testing and trying them. We hope that we have made good
progress. Perhaps we will decide to go public soon, even if in a gradual way,
so that we can come out into the open. We have been hiding for a long time. We
are seriously preparing media material that will reveal the facts, call forth
firm intentions, arouse determination, and be[come] an arena of jihad in which the pen and the sword
complement each other.
3.
This will be accompanied
by an effort that we hope will intensify to expose crippling doubts and explain
the rules of Shari’a
through tapes, printed materials, study, and courses of learning [meant] to
expand awareness, anchor the doctrine of the unity of God, prepare the
infrastructure, and meet [our] obligation.
5. (sic) – The Timing for Implementation
It is our hope to accelerate the pace of work and that companies and battalions
with expertise, experience, and endurance will be formed to await the zero hour
when we will begin to appear in the open, gain control of the land at night,
and extend it into daylight, the One and Conquering God willing. We hope that
this matter, I mean the zero hour, will [come] four months or so before the
promised government is formed. As you can see, we are racing against time. If
we are able, as we hope, to turn the tables on them and thwart their plan, this
will be good. If the other [scenario] [happens]—and we seek refuge in God—and
the government extends its control over the country, we will have to pack our
bags and break camp for another land in which we can resume carrying the banner
or in which God will choose us as martyrs for his sake.
6. What About You?
You, gracious brothers, are the leaders, guides, and symbolic figures of jihad and battle. We do not see
ourselves as fit to challenge you, and we have never striven to achieve glory
for ourselves. All that we hope is that we will be the spearhead, the enabling
vanguard, and the bridge on which the [Islamic] nation crosses over to the
victory that is promised and the tomorrow to which we aspire. This is our
vision, and we have explained it. This is our path, and we have made it clear.
If you agree with us on it, if you adopt it as a program and road, and if you
are convinced of the idea of fighting the sects of apostasy, we will be your
readied soldiers, working under your banner, complying with your orders, and
indeed swearing fealty to you publicly and in the news media, vexing the
infidels and gladdening those who preach the oneness of God. On that day, the
believers will rejoice in God’s victory. If things appear otherwise to you, we are
brothers, and the disagreement will not spoil [our] friendship. [This is] a
cause [in which] we are cooperating for the good and supporting jihad. Awaiting your response, may God
preserve you as keys to good and reserves for Islam and its people.
Amen, amen.
Peace and the mercy and blessings of God be upon you.
