Al-Qaedakopplade Islamic Movement of
Uzbekistan meddelar att ytterligare en
tysk medborgare har dött strid med de
allierade i Afghanistan.
"Abdullah från Essen", känd under täck-
namnet Miqdad, som stred för talibanerna,
dog nyligen enligt ett IMU-meddelande på
nätet. Det framgår inte om Miqdad var
konvertit eller arab med tyskt pass.

Miqdad kom till träningslägret i Waziristan
i november 2010 och sändes vidare till norra
Afghanistan för kort tid sedan.
Enligt IMU:s talesman Yassin Chouka:
"Brother Miqdad recently came to Waziristan and
he said to us:
please send me right away to Kunduz, because I
really want to kill Germans," Chouka said, according
to the SITE translation.
"He recently lived in Germany and saw the criminal
acts of the Germans, but when Allah the Almighty
put him on the path and allowed him to carry a weapon,
he didn't hesitate and he hurried and went into action
in the Cause of Allah."

Miqdad also makes a brief statement in his martyrdom
tape, in which he encourages Muslims worldwide to
flock to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"Praise be to Allah that the mujahideen came here
to Afghanistan and Pakistan to fight NATO," Miqdad said.
"I advise all the brothers worldwide to join the mujahideen
here in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

In the tape, Chouka, the IMU spokesman, chastises his
"Afghan brothers who live in Germany" for failing to fight
in Afghanistan. He also defends the Taliban and denies
that the group is made up of "radical extremists."
"The fight is in your land, in your home, and you are where?"
Chouka said. "You turned your backs to the battlefields and
sought the transient worldly pleasures while the enemies are
here in your land."

Ett stort antal islamister med tysk bakgrund
slåss för IMU eller Islamic Jihad Union i Waziristan.
Bara under det senaste året har bl a Eric Breininger
och Bekkay Harrach (imam från Bonn) dödats.
I oktober 2010 dödades åtta tyska medborgare
under talibanutbildning vid ett dronangrepp i
Waziristan.
Enligt pakistanska mediauppgifter fanns då
minst 150 islamister med tyska pass i lägren.
