If this is a factual and true statement from an Al Queda official then the destruction of America and Israel is only a matter of short time, maybe Months, maybe Years. This report was publishes by the network final conflict nr. Fc2118.
The following interview was conducted by a reporter for the Al-Jazeera network with the third-in-command of the Al Queda organization, Mr. Mohammed Al-Asuquf. Al-Asuquf's background is impressive; a doctorate in physics and masters in international economics. In the interview, he talks of Al Queda's plans with total detachment, with deep knowledge and an
unshakeable commitment to his cause. This interview was sent to Abel-Bari Atwan, chief editor of Al Quds, an Arabic-language newspaper published in London, but was never printed, due to its highly revealing [inflammatory?] contents.
A copy of the interview came to Foz-do-Iguacu, and was translated into Portuguese by a university professor in the city's Arab community. This is probably the only existing version of this interview not in Arabic.
Al-Jazeera: What is the objective of the Al Queda network?
Al-Asuquf: To destroy the Great Satan, that is, the United States and Israel.
Al-Jazeera: Why?
Al-Asuquf: The USA over the past 60 years has been impregnating [infecting] the world with its arrogance, greed and malfeasance. It is the incarnation of all that is evil. The people of this planet don't deserve this torture.
Al-Jazeera: Isn't this view somewhat one-sided?
Al-Asuquf: No; one only has to observe recent events. The disrespect of the Kyoto treaty; the case of the Permanent Court of International Justice, their inaction with regards to our Palestinian brothers; the financial greed and absurd speculations in Third World countries; the complete indifference to other oppressed people and countless other situations which all of the world's leaders well know. And on top of all that, the Bush doctrine of "shoot first and ask questions later." This is an unacceptable abuse and will therefore have very grave consequences.
Al-Jazeera: But the isn't the development and influence of America the fruit of its own competence?
Al-Asuquf: Competence in extortion, competence in subjugation, competence in lying. After the Second World War, the USA was the only industrialized country with its manufacturing infrastructure intact. Loaning money like a good loan shark, it ended up becoming a very rich and powerful country; however, its greed remained undiminished. Today, Americans live like Maharajas [King], wasting more than any other people, spending more than $480 billion per year just on gambling. They've lost any notion of spiritualityand live in constant sin. With each passing day the USA demonstrates that it doesn't know how to live with other peoples; for this, it deserves destruction.
Al-Jazeera: Wouldn't it be easier to simply assassinate President George Bush?
Al-Asuquf: In the first place, it would do no good, other than turning him into a martyr. When you face a powerful enemy, the best strategy is not to kill him, but to make him lose his leadership due to his incompetence, and let him live to watch this unfold.
Al-Jazeera: Does the Al Queda network have the military capacity to make war on the United States?
Al-Asuquf: If we analyze history, we will see that all great wars, before they were started, were based on previously established concepts [of war]. But if we observe well, we will see that these concepts and strategies came to nothing, since a new type of war was ultimately waged. An example is The construction of the Maginot line by the French before the First World War, which, in reality proved to be completely useless against the invading forces. Aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and spy satellites will be useless in the next war.
Al-Jazeera: American authorities hold more than 1,000 people suspected of terrorism since September 11th. Won't this compromise Al Queda's plans?
Al-Asuquf: Of those imprisoned, perhaps 20 to 30 percent belong to Al Queda. Moreover, they are from the second echelon. We have more than 500 members of the first echelon and 800 from the second, inside the United States.
Al-Jazeera: What do you mean by first and second echelons?
Al-Asuquf: In the first echelon are Al Queda members who have been in the United States for more than 10 years, many married with children. They have detailed knowledge of our plans and are just waiting for a phone call. They are also known as "sleepers." Those of the second echelon have arrived in the last five years and have no idea of our plans.
Al-Jazeera: Are even those who are married, with children, ready to die with their families?
Al-Asuquf: Yes. All of them are ready to die. Long live September 11th.
Al-Jazeera: What was September 11th to Al Queda's overall plans?
Al-Asuquf: As a general step, it was just the beginning. It was a way of calling the world's attention to what is still to come.
Al-Jazeera: How many members does Al Queda have?
Al-Asuquf: In the first echelon, about 5,000; in the second, about 20,000, all over the world.
Al-Jazeera: In the detention camp at Guantanamo, are there any members of the first echelon?
Al-Asuquf: No, in fact, many of those there are not even Al Queda members.
Al-Jazeera: How does Al Queda intend to destroy the most powerful nation in history?
Al-Asuquf: It's a question of logistics. Using its own poison, that is, attacking the heart of what they consider the most important thing in the world: money.
Al-Jazeera: How so?
Al-Asuquf: The American economy is an economy of false appearances. There is no real economic ballast to the American economy. The American GDP of is something around $410 trillion, of which just 1 percent represents agriculture, and just 24 percent represents industry. Therefore, 75 percent of the American GDP is service and most of this is financial speculation. For those who understand economics, and it appears that the American Secretary of the Treasury, Paul O'Neil, doesn't or doesn't see it, it's enough to say that the USA acts like a huge "dot-com," and dollars, strictly speaking, are its shares.
Al-Jazeera: Can you explain that?
Al-Asuquf: The value of a company's shares is directly proportional to the profitability of the enterprise. When a business is just a service provider and doesn't produce any durable goods, the value of its shares depends on its credibility. Which is to say that if the credibility of the USA were shaken, its shares (the dollar) would fall with incredible rapidity and the entire American economy would begin to collapse.
Al-Jazeera: How can you be so sure of this?
Al-Asuquf: On a smaller scale, it's exactly what large financial groups do to the countries of the third world to reap profits in one month that Swiss banks couldn't get in four or five years.
Al-Jazeera: So how will Al Queda shock the American economy to this point?
Al-Asuquf: By provoking a deficit of between $450 and $470 trillion dollars, the equivalent of the United States' GDP for five to seven years.
Al-Jazeera: How will this be done?
Al-Asuquf: With the destruction of the seven largest American cities, along with other measures.
Al-Jazeera: By what means will this be done?
Al-Asuquf: Using atomic bombs.
Al-Jazeera: With all of the security in the USA, how, hypothetically, will these bombs be smuggled onto American soil?
Al-Asuquf: They won't be smuggled in, they're already there.
Al-Jazeera: What are you saying?
Al-Asuquf: There are already seven nuclear devices on American soil which were put in place before September 11th and are ready to be detonated.
). However, I'm not surprised at all about that. Pakistan is a nuclear power where the fundamentalists are controlling both the secret services and the army. So it's really easy for them to get a nuclear head if they want.
