Is this a Jehadi Attack by Khalid?
I received this ominous sounding email in my Inbox a couple of days back. I was reasonably sure that an email bomb hadn't been invented yet and moreover the terrorists had white people to kill. What would a brown skin like me be worth anyways.Moreover I have never traveled on a transatlantic flight. But hey i've taken a Mumbai local....does that mean I qualify as a target.....Shudder!
Coming back to my dilemma....its about this amail (see in Italics below) the text of which reads like a mix of a Hindi movie, a Jehadi's diary and a bank's solicitation mail.You'll agree that its obviously a crude way to identify suckers who will provide Khalid, he's got a name you see, with their bank details or maybe gullible fools like me who will dedicate a blog entry to him. I might actually be furthering his cause by writing about it here but what the hell no one reads my blog and those who do don't take it seriously so.....
Coming back to Khalid's email, he also makes me feel insecure about whether the CIA might be tracing this email and seeing who's furthering its cause. It just might be a bunny being circulated by Dept of Homeland Security to identify potential Jehadis around the world.... so be warned that by reading this you might just be earning yourself the tag of terrorist.
Meanwhile I have half a mind, in fact more than that to respond and see where this goes or maybe where I go.
If u see me on tv soon totting a gun and uttering satanical verses while I hold
a hostage remember, you saw signs of it first on my blog!
Dear Beloved

BISmillahi irrahman irrahim! Assalamu alaikum WA rahamtullahi WA barakat.
I have seen war and I have seen peace, I have seen riches and I have seen people die of hunger on daily bases. And I am quite certain that life is vanity; the only life worth living is a life of service to the almighty One God, most merciful, most compassionate and most benevolent. This is the reason for my present decision based absolutely on taqwa.
I am Khalid the only surviving child of the Gen. Abdulaziz Shihab, one of the UNITA rebel leaders of Angola. My late father fought the agonizing protracted Angolan civil war from the very scratch, and was in charge of selling diamonds and other solid minerals of the rebel stronghold area, as well as purchasing arms and ammunitions in return.
This position made him very rich and powerful. So powerful that the late Dr. Jonas Malheiro Savimbi the head and founder of the UNITA guerillas felt threatened that he planned to get rid of my father. As much as I can remember, one Sunday I was away with my mother when a handful of soldiers obviously sent by the late Dr. Jonas Malheiro Savimbi went to our house and killed my father, my two sisters and brother.
They also executed everyone that beared the same surname with us in my village, thus making sure that we were completely wiped out the surface of the earth. An aid loyal to my father met with me and my mother and sneaked us to Zambia a neighboring country, from where we travelled to London, My mother died of extreme cancer a month ago here and here am I on my sick diagnosed of HIV 1 & 2 i.e. full blown AIDS and I have a few months to live.
Three months ago my late mother took me to the Bank Finance Company where my late father deposited large sum of money ($12.5m) he acquired during the war, and I took possessions.
I do not want this money to get into wrong hands by means of intestate laws. My late father probably did not do thing right and fate has dealt with us decisively, but lying here on my dying bed I am determined to do thing right to enable me die in a state of Taahir, by passing this fund on to a God fearing person not minding his or her religion or an Organization that will use it to probate Peace to the glory of the almighty One God, take care of the weaks of the earth (the widows, old and orphans).
If you know and believe in your heart that you stand up for a good course and bring glory to the name of Allah, distinguish yourself in this world full of evil and corruption and use this money just as I have said, then get in touch with me immediately forwarding the following details.
(1) Your full contact detail
(2) Your telephone and fax number(s)
(3) Your Date and place of birth
(4) Your Occupation
Note: My mother told me before she died that my father did not disclose to the security company that he was depositing money with them with the fear that they might run away with it, he deposited it as family treasure. So they don't know the content because is in a TRUCK BOX.
So that I can forward to the security company to contact you, Time is of the essence, because it is imperative that you pull this fund to your bank account now that I am still alive to avoid eminent confrontation and refusal by the Finance company when I am gone.
Awaiting your immediate reply.
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Yours in faith,
Khalid
