Jihadists Hope Boston Bombings are Acts of Jihadi Terrorism

Administrators of Shumukh al-Islam, a top-tier jihadist forum and primary source for official messages from al-Qaeda, placed a two scrolling messages atop the forum, the first stating: "Urgent // Casualties and Injuries in an Explosion that Shook the US State of Boston, and a State of Panic and Chaos Spreads Across America in General," and the second giving an oft-repeated statement from former al-Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden: "I swear by Allah the Great, who raised the sky without pillars, that America and those who live in America will not dream of security until we live it as a reality in Palestine and until all the disbelieving armies are expelled from the land of Muhammad, Allah's peace and prayer be upon him."

Following is a translation of a sampling of the postings:

Everything is possible, O beloved one. There are many separatist groups in America, including states that want to rebel against the central government, and would seize the opportunity for the first clear American defeat in the world, which will strengthen the separatists very fast.
However, a Free American Army will not work. Maybe the brigades of "Head and Shoulder".

Closing New York's airspace and the road to the White House and other things wouldn't be done if it wasn't clear to them that the enemy is domestic. It seems that the act is big and it's in its beginnings.

This day coincides with the anniversary of Lincoln's assassination. Two weeks from now is the anniversary of Usama bin Laden's assassination. The attack decision on Abbottabad was taken on April 15, according to the American version of the story.

American soldiers who recently returned from Afghanistan and were participating in the marathon say that the sound of the explosions resemble those from the Taliban and al-Qaeda devices.
