Al-Qaida Claims Responsibility For Bombing The Al Sadeer Hotel In Baghdad Mar 10, 2005 English Translation © JUS 2005 A bomb exploded near a hotel in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, early this morning. Two security guards were killed in the attack on the neighboring Agriculture Ministry, Agence France-Presse reported. “There were casualties,'' in the blast near the al-Sadeer hotel, Captain Kelly Lewis of the US militay said in a telephone interview from Baghdad, though she said she was unable to give any numbers at this stage.

In the name of Allah, Most gracious, Most Merciful Praise be to Allah who promised us victory and helped us with His soldiers. Peace and prayer be on the one who struggled (Performed Jihad in the cause of Allah) with his person and his sustenance were made under the shade of his spear. Peace be upon his family, and his companions. Ask Baghdad about what did they wake up to see this morning? And ask paradise about the new occupants of today. As to paradise, they welcomed a lion from the “Martyrs Brigade”. As to Baghdad, it woke up at the thunderous sound of an explosion that was heard from one end to the other Today, this glorious Wednesday, 27 Muhaaram, 1426 (March 9, 2005), a Nobel brother of yours, along with a few others headed for the Sadeer hotel. You may call it the Jewish hotel because it is their fortress and secure home. But the fortress with all its security measures did not stop the punishment of Allah from reaching them. Oh you Jews, have you forgotten the Khaibar Expedition? Or the Nadhir Expedition? If you did, here we are to jog your memory. You Mujahideen brothers approached the hotel and open fire on the Iraqi security forces protecting the Jews there. Some fell dead and others ran for their lives. When the entrance was secured by your brothers, the main part of the mission started to unfold. Your hero of the mission, a brother of yours, stormed inside and blew up the hotel with its occupants. Alhamdulillah in the morning and in the afternoon. As to the timing of the mission, it had to be early before rush hour to avoid harming Moslems passing by. The timing also had to be at a time when a large number of Jews are still inside getting ready to leave for work. Oh you people of Sabt (Sabbath), ancestors of monkeys and swine, those recipient of the wrath of Allah, Allah has prepared severe punishment for you. Our nobel Qura’an has taught us to hate you, hold animosity towards you, and slay you. As to you, our Tawhid brother (the main man of the mission), you have earned the greatest honor, Shahadah (Martyrdom), in sha’a Allah. We hope to join you soon and we hope and ask Allah to elevate you to the highest level in Ferdaws (the most high part of paradise). Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! And glory be to Allah, his messenger, and Mujahideen Al-Qaida in the Land of the Two Rivers 27 Muhaaram, 1426 March 9, 2005 English Translation © JUS 2005
