Press Release: "Wait For The Flames And The Fire"
"A press release by the 'Jihadi Barq Unit:'
"Permission is given to those who fight because they were wronged. Allah has power to grant them victory:[2]
"At a time when the occupation thinks that we will fail to support the blessed Al-Aqsa mosque, it was necessary for us to have our say in the field. Accordingly, we in the 'Jihadi Barq unit' [hereby?] officially announce the mobilization among our ranks in all areas of the[Gaza] Strip, and tell the occupation settlers: 'Wait for the flames and the fire.'"[3]
