Directing his first message to Al-Qaida leader Usama Bin Laden in Afghanistan, Wadoud beseeched, "only Allah knows how much we miss you, and how hard it is for us to be far from you. In the name of Allah, if we could be carried by birds, we would come to you. We remember you in our hearts and visualize you in our minds. We ask Allah to reunite us after missing you for so long." While addressing Bin Laden, Wadoud likewise declared, "We are eagerly awaiting your instructions and orders regarding the next phase."
