Bin Laden frustrated with local jihadi groups: OBL letters
May 03, 2012  19:48
Osama bin Laden seemed frustrated with the local jihadi groups that caused sufferings on the Muslims and urged them to abort such attacks and instead focus on the US, documents seized by US forces from his Abbottabad safe house in Pakistan a year ago say. 

"He (bin Laden) is at pain advising them to abort domestic attacks that cause Muslim civilian casualties and focus on the United States, 'our desired goal'. "Bin Ladin's frustration with regional jihadi groups and his seeming inability to exercise control over their actions and public statements is the most compelling story to be told on the basis of the 17 de-classified documents," Combating Terrorism Center (CTS) at West Point said today. 

 The CTS of the US Military Academy released 64-page 'Letters from Abbottabad: Bin Ladin Sidelined?' based on the 17-declassified documents provided to it by the US government. These documents consist of electronic letters or draft letters, totaling 175 pages in the original Arabic and 197 pages in the English translation.
