(a.k.a. German national Javaid Siddiqi) (December 2009)
The NEFA Foundation has obtained a video recording released by the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) paying tribute to a German national "Abu Safiyya" (a.k.a. Javaid Siddiqi) who was "martyred" in late October during fighting alongside mujahideen forces in Afghanistan.
The video shows Siddiqi on the frontline along the Afghan-Pakistani border accompanied by other German recruits--and at a terrorist training camp that was organized last May.
According to narration in the video, "Abu Safiyya, may Allah have mercy on him, died with honor on October 17, 2009.
He died on the battlefield as a martyr.... [He] left in the spring of 2009 from his home country of Germany. He emigrated with his family to stand alongside the mujahideen carrying the banner of truth. After he was trained as a fighter, he took part in the jihad of Khorasan (Afghanistan/Pakistan) and he fought on three different fronts."
The NEFA Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt, charitable organization created after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The Foundation strives to help prevent future tragedies in the U.S. and abroad by exposing those responsible for planning, funding, and executing terrorist activities, with a particular emphasis on Islamic militant organizations.
