Unknown Jihadi Group Claims Responsibility For Bombing In Benghazi On Facebook Page, Promises More On May 13, 2013, The Islamic Front for the Mujahideen Army in Derna, a group about which very little is known, claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack near Al-Jala' hospital in the city of Benghazi, which claimed the lives of at least 12 people and wounded dozens of others. An individual posting on the group's Facebook page who called himself "Abu Moussa" announced shortly after the attack that the "operation" had been "successful," adding, "we, the Islamic Front in Derna, stand up when we promise, and when we stand up, we will win."

New Issue Of Jihadi Magazine Fursan Al-Balagh Dedicated To Anti-France Incitement The jihadi media company Fursan Al-Balagh has published the third issue of its Al-Balagh magazine (dated April-May 2013). The issue focuses mainly on anti-France incitement, in response to that country's involvement in North Mali. Head Of AQIM Political Committee: The War With France Will Continue Until The Day Of Judgment The magazine includes an article by Ahmad Abu 'Abdallah, head of the political committee of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and of its media company, Al-Andalus. The article, titled "What Is Behind the French Occupation of North Mali," calls on Muslims to unite forces and thwart the French "Crusader attack" on Muslims in North Mali. It accuses France of looting the treasures of Muslim Africa and warns that replacing the French troops with UN forces is only a means of lending international legitimacy to the ongoing "Crusader occupation" of the land. Finally, it promises that "the Muslims will restore their glory, sovereignty, and property, after hanging the last occupier by the intestines of the last collaborator ruler" and that the war against the French will continue until the Day of Judgment. Following are excerpts from the article: Abu 'Abdallah starts by urging Muslims to unite forces in the war on "Western hegemony and the Crusader attack" against the Islamic ummah, and to start this war with a campaign to defend Mali. This is in order to put "international pressure on the exploitative, aggressive France and its beastlike partners, so that they are faced with only two options: to [fight] a losing war in which they will bleed to death, or to retreat in defeat, [after which] they will never even consider occupying [another] Muslim country." TTP Commander Waliur Rehman Rejects Pakistan Elections, Says: Taliban 'Are Waging Jihad… Against The People Disloyal To Allah And The Flag Bearers Of Democracy' The video, which was released through a jihadi internet forum, begins with a verse from the Koran: "Do they seek the law of (the days of) ignorance? And who is better than Allah in (giving) judgment for a people who have firm faith." The verse is followed by a song, "Oh, the protectors of faith [of Islam], wake up and revolt against this evil system." Urging the Pakistani people to support the Taliban's jihad, he states: "Oh, Muslim brothers, revolt against this system and unite under a single banner for the establishment of Khilafah 'Ala Minhaj-in-Nubuwah [Islamic caliphate]. "In The Bazaar Of Sexual Freedom, The Offsprings Of Adam Appear As If They Are The Offspring Of The Pig Or Monkey"; "In Democracy, A Human Or An Institution Consisting Of Human Beings Is Called Sovereign While In Islam, Sovereignty… Belongs To Allah" Speaking about the eternal struggle between Islam and falsehood, Waliur Rehman declares: "The war between ignorance and Islam has been continuing since the day one of the advent of the world. No problem, if it comes in any decorated and attractive shape. The seal on its forehead, as is on Dajjal's [Antichrist] forehead, tells us that it is not new; rather the old Taghoot [false deity] has disguised itself to deceive us…. Today's falsehood is the same as was yesterday's. The leader of yesterday's falsehood was Ibne Hashaam [from early Islamic era], while the leaders of today's falsehood are the UN, the gangster America, and Pakistan's evil democracy gang." Jihadi Commander Syed Salahuddin Warns Pakistan's Incoming PM: 'No Government In Pakistan, Whether It Is Nawaz Sharif Or Anybody Else, Will Remain In The Chair If It Abandons The Kashmir Cause' Jihadi commander Syed Salahuddin (image courtesy: indianexpress.com) Syed Salahuddin, the chairman of the Pakistan-based Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC, or the United Jihad Council), has warned Nawaz Sharif, who is set to take over as prime minister of Pakistan, against abandoning the Kashmir issue.

In an exclusive interview in Islamabad, Salahuddin, who is also the Supreme Commander of militant group Hizbul Mujahideen, said: "No government in Pakistan, whether it is Nawaz Sharif or anybody else, will remain in the chair if it abandons the Kashmir cause."
