The testimony of the former leader of Liwa Allahu Akbar, Saddam al- Jamal, may Allah protect him.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
" I am Saddam al- Jamal, leader of Liwa Allahu Akbar, part of the military council, previously following Alwiat Ahfad al- Rasul, leader of the eastern region of the SNC along with Salim Idrees.
Al- Hasakah, Deir az- Zour and Raqqah was under me and all the militant groups who operated in the area, including distribution of weapons and money etc... The SNC is full of Qatari, al- Salul and American mukhabaraat (spies) and I sat with the mukhabaraat ( spies) many times. On the outset they don’t put any conditions on you. They just tell you about fighting the regime they don’t say that you will be demanded to fight the Islamic groups later.
The relationship of Jabhat al- Nusrah with Liwa Allahu Akbar and any group under the SNC is a normal relationship, no differences exist between them. They fight in one row. The relationship of Liwa Allahu Akbar with Jabhat al- Nusrah was specifically with Abu Mariyah al- Harari, a top shari'i in Jabhat al- Nusrah.
The relationship was good, the man never told us about the riddah ( apostasy) we had gotten into in the military council, or in the SNC. He did the opposite, he commended us. Abu Yousef al- Masri, another top Jabhat al- Nusrah shari'i once said to me:
" Brother can you bring weapons from America and support the Mujahideen?" - " It's not a problem."
I myself didn't accept this at the time. The man came from his country to fight in the Cause of Allah. He knows the military council are apostates; the SNC are apostates, but they never said it to anyone of us.
They misled me and I misled thousands until Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, guided me and we found the right path. I sat with Abu Mariyah al- Harari on the second day of fighting in al- Qurriya city. Mahmud al- Matar, leader of Firqa al- Qaqa was with him, along with many leaders like Maher al- Nuami, Abul Bara al- Shahel and others. I asked him who is fighting us? Abu Mariyah al- Harari said:
" It's the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam. They will attack you with car bombs brother, these people are criminals, terrorists. I know them from Iraq."
I said to him:
" I want to go and sit with them. You are the top shari'i of Jabhat al- Nusrah and you must have a good relationship with them."
By Allah, in some matters it looked like he was lying to us. We used to think the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam and Jabhat al- Nusrah were one, so I said:
" I want to know the reason why they will attack me and blow up my house? I just wanted to know."
He said:
" Maybe they have decide that you are an apostate."
I never knew what I was. I never knew what murtad meant. I asked Abu Mariyah al- Harari if I am an apostate and asked him to explain the matter to me. He said:
" By Allah, if you were an apostate, I wouldn't be sitting with you."
And so the matter ended. An appointment was made with the brothers of the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam in Jadid, 3agedad. The appointment was after Isha prayers. I couldn't sleep the night before so I went early to the appointment. I went in the morning alone and they welcomed me like I became repentant.
By Allah, I didn't see killing and terrorism from them but the opposite, all I saw from them was the truth. I finished my repentance, I spread statements about my defection from the SNC, Maher al- Nuami, military council, I dissolved the battalion and gave up my weapons.
All praise is due to Allah that now I am a soldier of the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam, all praise to Allah. I declared my repentance in public, and I do not fear anyone but Allah. Everyone knows about it, it’s all over Facebook, and YouTube. It’s not hidden, so Jabhat al- Nusrah cannot claim that I am still in the SNC and that I am also helping the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam.
I was the leader of the eastern region, it was not an easy thing. When Saddam was an apostate and with the SNC they sat with me, and when he repented and joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam they fought him.
By Allah I am but a soldier in the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam and I am proud.
By Allah, I am no leader nor do I have any such ambitions. They claim I was a leader in the SNC and then became a leader in the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam.
By Allah I’m no leader. I am a lowly servant and soldier in the path of Allah.
Abu Kamal was a strategic place, necessary in fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam. All the groups who fought the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam came from outside and gathered there. Jabhat al- Nusrah fought alongside the military council, they never told us that the Military council were apostates, and that the SNC and the military council get aid from America, France, Saudi and Qatar. Previously they never fought together with these groups in a direct manner, but now they are in the same operations room, together in fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam along with the Free Syrian Army, Ahrar al- Shaam, and Asalah wal- Tanmiyah, who is under Abu Faisal who is famous for fighting against the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam.
Abu Faisal is a leader who defected from the Regime and now he is the leader of the mukhabaraat ( spies) in the eastern region in the SNC and his brother at the same time is a leader of Jabhat al- Nusrah in the city of 3ishara. The brother in Jabhat al- Nusrah knows that his brother is an apostate, but they sit with each other, and accept the support from outside ( countries) etc...
Omar Traad aid's Tlaas Abu Faisal who aid's Asalah wal- Tanmiyah who aid's Bashair al- Nasr who fight in Markadah alongside Jabhat al- Nusrah in one row, in joint control room. This is all proven in the media, they cannot deny that they are fighting with the apostates in one row to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam. They are in one trench fighting the Islamic State. Any aid that comes from outside gets equally divided between Jabhat al- Nusrah, the Free Syrian Army, Ahrar al- Shaam and other's. When a column is prepared to fight, for example, five vehicles from Jabhat al- Nusrah, five from Ahrar al- Shaam and five from Asalah wal- Tanmiyah.
Everyone knows that after I declared my repentance from Afhad al- Rasul, it dissolved. Joulani and Abu Mariya know Ahfad al- Rasul was ordered by France to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam or even Jabhat al- Nusrah when it was one with the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam. When the fighting between the Islamic State versus the Free Syrian Army, Ahrar al- Shaam and Jabhat al- Nusrah happened, Abu Suhaib declared that Ahfad al- Rasul was again part of the attacking force against the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam, alongside Jabhat al- Nusrah and Ahrar al- Shaam in the battle of Jafrah in Jadid, 3gedad .
All of this is evidence that Jabhat al- Nusrah and Ahrar al- Shaam know that these groups are agents of the West and yet they have no problem in aligning with them. They don’t care for the Manhaj of the group; if it's it secular or not. They are just happy it's there to fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam. Our main reason for fighting in Abu Kamal was to free our brothers from the Shariah board.
They say the Shariah board, but the board consist's of the Free Syrian Army and groups that are part of military council, the SNC, Jabhat al- Nusrah and Ahrar al- Shaam. From the time of Jabhat al- Nusrah, we never knew what the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam was. They used to tell us these people are criminals and terrorists. The strongest in this was Abu Mariyah al- Harari. Wherever he sat, he accused the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam. They knew for sure that the SNC, and military council are apostates, [ Note: Joulani said so in his speech ( laytak rathaytani 7: 09) ] Then is it not an obligation to fight against them? There were many groups, even part of the SNC and the military council that we did not fight.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam never started any fight, even with Ahfad al- Rasul, who started the fighting in Raqqah. I was a leader in Ahfad al- Rasul, and by Allah, the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam did not start the fighting, but Ahfad al- Rasul started the fighting with the order's from France. So the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam fought them, and defeated them.
After Ahfad al- Rasul, Ahrar al- Shaam began fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam. Ahfad al- Rasul and Ahrar al- Shaam are one. I was in the SNC and I know this matter. It’s all the Qatari support to both groups led by Maher al- Nuami and Hassan Aboud .They are one, and don’t differ in any way.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam defeated Ahfad al- Rasul, and it was the strongest group in the Eastern region which is why Ahrar al- Shaam was used as a backup. In the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam the soldier and leader are one, all praise is due to Allah. This is our way.
A message to all the groups and the civilians:
" Do not fight alongside the apostate groups who are fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam, and lie about us, saying that we will come and kill the civilians. It’s all lies. We only fight those who fight us. We will fight until the last drop of our blood."
A message to the tribes to stop its sons from fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Shaam.
" By Allah we will not fight them, or oppress them."
A message to ( the people of) Abu Kamal:
" I did not come to fight you, and they know this. By Allah, we don't want to fight you.."
Allahumma qad ballagna, Allahumma fashad."
