“Afterwards, I called Al-Jazeera TV channel and they conducted an
interview with us that they did not broadcast. I told them that I was
talking to them from inside the compound, and that we were only targeting
infidels.
“Then I headed to one of the rooms and watched the news on television.
About five hours had passed since the beginning of the operation,
and the reports said that emergency forces were forcing their way into
the complex at that time! So I distributed the brothers into various
areas of the hotel in preparation to return the attack of the dogs of the
state if they forced their way in.
“At 2:00 o’clock {sic} they forced their way in, and they had with
them an officer. We could see them from where we were, so we threw
bombs at them and the officer was killed, praise God, and his soldiers
were wounded. They were screaming at the men behind them:
‘We want to get out. Come on, let us out.’ We were shouting: ‘God is
greater’ and saying: ‘God is our ally and you have no ally. To Hell [with
you] and the worst destiny.’
“Nimr would shout to one of them: ‘Come close, coward,’ and the
man would flee.
“They began to fire heavy weapons at the hotel and continued to
do so until the time for mid-afternoon prayers. During this period,
we slaughtered the evil Hindu who had been preventing his employees
from praying. We put the Muslims on the higher floors so that they
would not be hit by the bullets of the emergency forces and their stray
projectiles. We stayed below to wait for those cowards.
“During this time, brother Hussein was on the stairs and saw the
Italian infidel, so he pointed his weapon at him and commanded him
to approach. The infidel approached and we saw his identification
papers. We decided that he should call Al-Jazeera TV channel to talk
to his countrymen and send them a message of warning against waging
war on Islam and the Muslims, then we would slaughter him and dedicate
him to the Italians who are participating in the war against our
brethren in Iraq and the idiot president of Italy who wants to enter into
a confrontation with the lions of Islam.
“We called Al-Jazeera and asked the anchor to speak to him, so he
did. The anchor asked me whether the Italian spoke English. I asked
the anchor whether he had any Italian translators. He said yes. I said:
‘Then let him speak in his own language,’ so he talked for a few minutes.
Then I asked the anchor: ‘Did you record?’ He said yes, so the
heroic Nimr cut [the Italian’s] throat.
