LONDON, Nov 17: The Al Qaeda network has issued a new manifesto setting out the strategy of the organization and making a series of chilling threats, a British paper said on Sunday, quoting an Al-Jazeera reporter.

Yosri Fouda, a London-based journalist for Al-Jazeera TV who in May interviewed two militants who planned the Sept 11 attacks, said he was sent the untitled document which he believes is from a senior Al Qaeda source.

“It is the closest the organization has come to setting out a strategy for its war against the ‘Jews and Crusaders’,” Fouda told the Sunday Times.

“It is time that we get even. You will be killed just as you kill and will be bombed just as we bomb,” the document said, according to Fouda.

Justifying its attacks on civilians, it stated that Americans freely vote for their political leader and voluntarily pay taxes that are used to conduct “unjust” wars against Muslims.

“The conclusion is that the American people are the financiers of the attacks against us; they are watching — through their elected senators — the spending of those taxes.”—AFP
