The way towards the country of the two rivers

I Stum­bled across this (Route descrip­tion to enter Iraq ille­gally) in one of the Islamic forums, I made it avail­able for the pub­lic to read and make use it or for­ward it to any author­ity (Police, Military.……etc) to pre­vent the insur­gents from killing peo­ple. I pub­lish it as it is with­out any edit­ing or spellcheck­ing, by pub­lish­ing what I found I am not respon­si­ble of the con­tent my aim is to save some lives and I hope it helps. (LadyBird)

Appar­ently aimed at young Jihadist recruits from Per­sian Gulf states, al-Islami’s guide iden­ti­fies Syria as the best entry point into Iraq. Included is a man­ual on border-crossing tech­niques packed with infor­ma­tion rang­ing from ter­rain con­di­tions to sug­ges­tions on how to receive a warm wel­come and sup­port from the local population.

The fol­low­ing excerpts indi­cate the level of detail provided:

Zone B) is the best area in which to cross into Iraq… for the fol­low­ing rea­sons:
1) The strong bonds link­ing the Arab tribes on both sides of the bor­der.

3) The fer­vent attach­ment of these peo­ple towards Islam and Arab tra­di­tions.
4) The hatred they have for the Syr­ian regime.


7) Of the 12.2 mil­lion peo­ple orig­i­nat­ing from Syria’s Dir al-Zur region, some 350,000 work in the Gulf states, so it is easy for you to befriend them. They will teach you the best way to cross their coun­try to reach Iraq.
It will take you a half-hour walk to reach the Iraqi city of Qaim (pop­u­la­tion 50,000) if you set off from the densely pop­u­lated city of al-Bukamal in Syria…
9) The high level of inten­sity in clashes with the Amer­i­cans is some­thing which is being main­tained to keep them occu­pied and thus ease the task for mujahidin cross­ing the bor­der…
10) Some of the vil­lages along the bor­der are divided into Syr­ian and Iraqi sec­tors.

Besides describ­ing the routes in great detail, the mes­sage also incor­po­rates prac­ti­cal tips on bed and board­ing arrangements.
