political crisis which the operations will cause. We also anticipate a rise in the price of
petroleum even before the operations (take place) solely on account of the statement and the
study which are issued. In this there is a good media gain since we raise the price of oil by
merely issuing a statement, then we raise it again through some of the limited operations
against petroleum targets which were poorly protected.

Some may be surprised even more if we say that all of the previous is not important and that
all of the results which we mentioned in the previous paragraph are not important to us,
regardless if they are the negative results we have anticipated or a response to the demands
that has not been anticipated. Rather, what is important to us is the withdrawal of the elite
forces of the enemy in large numbers to economic locations in order to protect them. When
the best forces are positioned to protect thousands of petroleum or economic locations in a
single country, the peripheries (of that country) and the crowded regions will be devoid of
forces. Even if they are found there, they will be weak forces which will be easy to confront
if necessary and it will be easy to enlist the masses there through an unwritten agreement.
Therefore, we make no agreements or deals with the troops and officers of the regimes of
apostasy. However, we will not kill them if they leave us alone to train, to propagate our
message, and to enlist (other people) freely in crowded regions and in the peripheries (of the
country). If they oppose us, they will receive only the sword from us. By this means, large
steps will be taken towards the stage of the management of savagery and forcing the weak,
neglected troops of apostasy who are abandoned in the peripheries (of the country) and the
crowded regions—since the elite and the well-equipped forces are scattered between
guarding the governments and the Crusaders and guarding the economic regions and the
regions of amusement and tourism—to choose between killing or joining us, or fleeing and
