This document is a communiqué from al-Qa`ida in the Land of the Two Rivers to the members of the Islamic community, aimed at inciting them to join the jihad against the Americans and the Iraqi government. The author begins his letter by bringing attention to the state of affairs in al-Fallujah. He questions the reader about why he has not joined in the jihad against the Americans and the Iraqi government. He says that he understands that the people are tired of the fighting, and want to settle down, but that there is still much that needs to be done now so that they can relax later, once the Americans are defeated. The author ends the letter by asking Muslims to join in the fight and pledging never to give up until victory is achieved. The document is signed by ‘the al-Qa`ida Organization in the Land of Two Rivers’.
