Al-Qaida message aids Iraq
Terrorist network offers information on defeating U.S. forces


NBC News has obtained a copy of a message from the al-Qaida terrorist network to Muslims in Iraq, a message that is, in effect, a military playbook on how to defeat Americans. THE MESSAGE obtained by NBC News is in Arabic, and is addressed to “our brothers in Iraq.” It is written by Saif Al-Adel, the security chief for Osama Bin Laden, said to be the mastermind for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. Al-Adel is believed to be the third highest al-Qaida official alive and on the run.
