Global Islamic Media Front: Statement Regarding the Distribution of Corrupt Asrar al-Mujahidin Software
Written by Administrator Friday, 16 December 2011 09:17
On December 15, 2011, the Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) released a statement “regarding the distribution of corrupt Asrar al-Mujahidin software.” The communication reported that “Some of our brothers…reviewed a fake copy of Asrar al-Mujahideen Software that included a trojan file, and it is a file for surveillance on computers.” The communique “warn[ed] all the members on what is known as Houri Lovers Islamic Forums, as the statement and fake program was released in this forum, and he who distributed it said that the program was excerpted [from another forum]. And after searching and checking, we didn't find the fake program or the statement to be distributed on any of the forums.” GIMF also cautioned the “brothers that Asrar al-Mujahideen program alone is not enough” and promised that “soon Allah-willing new links will be distributed for Asrar al-Mujahideen program.” Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has explained the purpose of the Asrar software: ”Sending an important message in the old days only required a piece of paper, a writing utensil, and a trustworthy messenger that knows the location of the party you need to reach…However, for the most part, this method has slowly evaporated and is now replaced with the Internet…Its harm is that the spies are actively paying attention to the Emails, especially if you are an individual that is known to be jihādī-minded. So how does one go about sending important messages without it being noticed by the enemy? Following is one method and that is by using an encryption software. One such software is a program created by our brothers called Asrar al-Mujahideen.”

On November 26, 2010, federal agents arrested 19 year old Corvallis, Oregon resident Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia, after he attempted to detonate what he believed to be an explosives-laden van parked near a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square. The FBI had been monitoring Mohamud for months and provided him with an inert device. Under the name Ibn al-Mubarak, Mohamud had published several articles in the English-language magazine “Jihad Recollections”, which was edited by former North Carolina resident Samir Khan, who is currently the editor of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula’s “Inspire” magazine. Mohamud also allegedly submitted an article for publication in “Inspire”. In this article, titled “Getting in Shape Without Weights” and published in the April 2009 edition of “Jihad Recollections”, Mohamud wrote, “the Mujahid who gives victory to Allah’s Deen must fulfill the obligation of preparing himself physically for Jihad, and by the permission of Allah I will teach you some exercises to help you strengthen your body and become fit.” He counseled, “the Mujahid must learn to get in shape and build strength and to continue to do so wherever he is with little or no resources and to be able to use his body and the ground alone to keep in shape.”

On November 26, 2010, federal agents arrested 19 year old Corvallis, Oregon resident Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia, after he attempted to detonate what he believed to be an explosives-laden van parked near a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square. The FBI had been monitoring Mohamud for months and provided him with an inert device. In the lead up to his arrest, when one of the undercover FBI operatives noted that there would be “a lot of children” at the ceremony, Mohamud responded that he was looking for a “huge mass that will...be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays.” He also said to the undercover FBI agent: “Do you remember when 9-11 happened when those people were jumping from skyscrapers…I thought that was awesome….I want to see that, that’s…what I want for these people.” He added, “I want whoever is attending that event to leave…either dead or injured.” On November 4, 2010, Mohamud had recorded what he intended to be a claim of responsibility for the bombing, changing into a white robe, a white and red headdress, and a camouflage jacket, to be “Sheik Osama style”. In the video, Mohamud said, “From the Americans and others. A dark day is coming your way. For as long as you threaten our security, your people will not remain safe…Did you think you could invade a Muslim land, and we would not invade you…” He also addressed his parents, whom he alleged “held” him “back from Jihad…”
