Harmony and Disharmony:
Doc ID: AFGP-2002-600321 Synopsis: A two page typed letter discussing the situation in Afghanistan, the continuation of jihad in the Islamic Republics, and the situation in the Arabian peninsula. Key Themes: Through jihad Allah helped the Muslims to push the Communists out of Afghanistan. Following the Russian departure the country was in great turmoil, but under Omar’s leadership unification under Islamic law was made possible. Bin Laden cites the great success in training and arming the jihadists in Tajikistan, and emphasizes that this effort must be continued. The continuation of jihad throughout the Islamic Republics will keep the Russians and American allies focused on stopping the spread of jihad and not on the Afghan issue. The scientific human capital available throughout the Islamic Republics will assist greatly in future jihad. He then lists the reasons for the great significance of the Arabian peninsula: it holds the Ka’abah and the Prophet’s mosque it holds 75% of the world’s oil and whoever controls oil controls the world economy (this explains the tenacity of the Americans and others) He also notes the extreme importance of the media battle and that it may consume 90% of total preparation for battles.
