Al-Qaeda’s 22 Tips for Avoiding a Drone

• 1 – It is possible to know the intention and the mission of the drone by using the Russianmade "sky grabber" device to infiltrate the drone's waves and the frequencies. The device is available in the market for $2,595 and the one who operates it should be a computerknow-how.
• 2 – Using devices that broadcast frequencies or pack of frequencies to disconnect the contacts and confuse the frequencies used to control the drone. The Mujahideen have had successful experiments using the Russian-made "Racal."
• 3 – Spreading the reflective pieces of glass on a car or on the roof of the building.
• 4 – Placing a group of skilled snipers to hunt the drone, especially the reconnaissance ones because they fly low, about six kilometers or less.
• 5 – Jamming of and confusing of electronic communication using the ordinary water-lifting dynamo fitted with a 30-meter copper pole.
• 6 – Jamming of and confusing of electronic communication using old equipment and keeping them 24 hour running because of their strong frequencies and it is possible using simple ideas of deception of equipment to attract the electronic waves devices similar to that used by the Yugoslav army when they used the microwave (oven) in attracting and confusing the NATO missiles fitted with electromagnetic searching devices.
• 7 – Using general confusion methods and not to use permanent headquarters.
• 8 – Discovering the presence of a drone through well-placed reconnaissance networks and to warn all the formations to halt any movement in the area.
• 9 – To hide from being directly or indirectly spotted, especially at night.
• 10 – To hide under thick trees because they are the best cover against the planes.
• 11 – To stay in places unlit by the sun such as the shadows of the buildings or the trees.
• 12 – Maintain complete silence of all wireless contacts.
• 13 – Disembark of vehicles and keep away from them especially when being chased or
  during combat.
• 14 – To deceive the drone by entering places of multiple entrances and exits.
• 15 – Using underground shelters because the missiles fired by these planes are usually of
  the fragmented anti-personnel and not anti-buildings type.
• 16 – To avoid gathering in open areas and in urgent cases, use building of multiple doors or exits.
• 17 – Forming anti-spies groups to look for spies and agents.
• 18 – Formation of fake gatherings such as using dolls and statutes to be placed outside
  false ditches to mislead the enemy.
• 19 – When discovering that a drone is after a car, leave the car immediately and everyone should go in different direction because the planes are unable to get after everyone.
• 20 – Using natural barricades like forests and caves when there is an urgent need for training or gathering.
• 21 – In frequently targeted areas, use smoke as cover by burning tires.
• 22 – As for the leaders or those sought after, they should not use communications equipment because the enemy usually keeps a voice tag through which they can identify the speaking person and then locate him.

Ansar al Sharia Egypt calls on Muslims to resist France in Mali

Ansar al Sharia Egypt, an extremist group headed by an al Qaeda-allied jihadist, has called on Muslims to pray for a jihadist victory in Mali and to "[q]uickly offer material and moral support for the Muslim Mali people." The group's statement, which was authored by an Egyptian Salafist named Jalaluddin Abu al Fotouh and released online in late January, was translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.

Al Fotouh argues that France's "real motives" for the war, which is "supported by Crusader Europe and tyrannical America and the rest of the forces of evil against the Muslims in Mali," are to prevent the implementation of sharia law. This is a common argument advanced by Salafi Jihadists in the wake of France's intervention.

"The forces of evil and disbelief cannot be silent about the establishment of a real Islamic State that is committed to the Qur'an and the Sunnah [traditions of the Prophet Muhammad], especially regarding its foreign relations with the countries of the world," Al Fotouh claims, according to SITE's translation. "They want Mali to be subordinate, servile, and weak and frail so as to be able to loot its resources and steal its wealth."

In a separate entry on Ansar al Sharia Egypt's Facebook page earlier in January, the group threatened France by re-posting an image of the Eiffel Tower being attacked. The graphic was originally produced on another jihadist web site. An Air France airliner can be seen approaching the tower from the left.

The Long War Journal captured a screen shot of the image, which is reproduced at the beginning of this article.

The Arabic text of the image, which can be seen at the top of this article, reads: "France, beware! We are able to carry this out and it would not be the first time." According to a translation obtained by The Long War Journal, Ansar al Sharia Egypt added a caption to its Facebook post that reads, "Is France unaware of who it is fighting?"
