Sweden suicide bomber’s abridged audio message

LONDON - Following is an abridged text of an audio message attached to an e-mail sent to Swedish news agency TT shortly before two explosions in Stockholm on Saturday.

“In the name of God the merciful. Prayers and peace to the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him.

“Thanks to Lars Vilks and his paintings of the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, and your soldiers in Afghanistan and your silence on all this so shall your children, daughters, brothers and sisters die in the same way as our brothers and sisters and children die.

“Now, the Islamic states have fulfilled what they promised you. We are here in Europe and in Sweden, we are a reality, not an invention, I will not say more about this.

“Our actions will speak for themselves, as long as you do not end your war against Islam and humiliation of the prophet and your stupid support for the pig Vilks.

“To all Muslims in Sweden I say: stop fawning and humiliating yourselves for a life of humiliation is far from Islam. Help your brothers and sisters and do not fear anything or anyone, only the God you worship.

“To my family, try to forgive me. I could not sit and watch while all the injustice happens against Islam and the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, when the pig Vilks did what he did.

“Forgive me for my lies. I never went to the Middle East to work or earn money, I went there for jihad. I hope that you can understand me some time. I could never have told you all this or to anyone.”

The suicide bomb in Stockholm is thought to have been carried out by Taimur-Al-Abdaly, 28. (ANI)
