Al-Qaeda spells out Iraq attack strategy in handbook: report:
"But most of the chapter is about Spain, considering that the pullout of Spanish troops would 'constitute a pressure on the British (military) presence that (Prime Minister) Tony Blair would not be able to bear.'
'It will not take long for pawns to fall, but the headpiece (US) still has to be knocked down,' it said.
It called for striking US forces in Iraq on a daily basis in order to force them 'to disperse on the territory, weaken their efficiency and strike the morale of the soldiers.'
'The operations should be concentrated on the Arab Sunni sector... (given) the absence of motives for the explosion of the situation in the Shiite southern regions and the Kurdish north,' it said.
The booklet, presented as a handbook for the 'Mujahedeen,' called on the 'Iraqi resistance (to form) a movement which gathers the factions of the Jihad... and unite in the same objective, as currently they are not united in the same organisation.'
'The Mujahedeens in Iraq should now concentrate on the complete pullout of all foreign forces from all Iraqi territory,' it said.
'They should not carry out any operation targeting the daily life of the Iraqi people or its future, such as the basic services or education, except for oil which should not be exploited under occupation,' it said.
'Oil exports are the main American hope to gain the financial resources necessary for the occupation,' it said.
The document also contains a chapter on the economic situation of the United States, seen from the angle of the occupation of Iraq.
It said the US plan was 'to build an Iraqi state as conceived by the United States...and enslave Saudi Arabia politically, fight against Islamic proselytism as a salafist and jihadic movement.'
'This would be (for the US) the first step toward the eradication of hardline Islam in the entire world,' it said."
