The Afghan Jihad: Migration and Preparation, By: Dr. Aymen Al-Zawahiri

(But verily thy Lord,- to those who leave their homes after trials and persecutions,- and who thereafter strive and fight for the faith and patiently persevere,- Thy Lord, after all this is oft-forgiving, Most Merciful) 109 Surah Al Nahl

1- After Allah – Subhanah wa Taala - has who blessed me with getting out from the
prison – with only His mightiness and Power – the first thing that came to my mind was
getting out of Egypt and establish a base for the jihadi actions away from the reach from
the regime, based on stages that I participated in drawing it with Essam Al-Qimari –
rahimaullah -.
The necessity of this was ensured to me, when the government kept me under two kinds
of surveillance: one public, which is a forced surveillance, which is done by the regular
police, and the other was secret, done by the state security intelligence. The meaning of
this was very clear to me, that I was on the head of the arresting list in all the arresting
campaign. This surveillance is their way to ensure my arrest immediately after the
issuance of the arrest decision.
The submission to that regime meant that either I leave the jihadi action completely,
until the regime becomes confirmed from its surveillance and investigations that I
withdrew from the jihad and left it, or to demolish all that I build and my brothers with
every arresting campaign that might be followed by trails then prison sentences .. to the
end of the known story.
And if I refuse to submit to that regime and decide to continue the jihadi action so I had
before me one of two matters: the first is to disappear, and live underground, and that
action will stir the security services very much, and provoke them from launch a wide
search campaign, and it could extent to the arrest to everyone who is linked to me, and
torture them if that was needed, until they reach to me for my arrest, even if I didn't do
anything. Let alone the lack of means of this disappearance since I was still tyro with
freedom. The second matter was the logical solution, which was the sunnah of the
prophets, messengers and righteous, migration for the sake of Allah.
