The NEFA Foundation has published a letter written by "Abu Mansoor al-Amriki"--an American mujahid recently featured in a Shabaab al-Mujahideen video from Somalia--dated January 8, 2008 and titled, "To the beloved Mujaahideen (in specific) and the Muslims (in general)." In the letter, Abu Mansoor scoffed that "the picture [that has been] presented to the world was the 'moderate' picture of the [Islamic] Courts [Union]... Despite these facts even the Kuffaar could see something else behind the scenes. They publicized that there is an 'extremist' group (according to their description) lurking within the government of the Courts. They were right on about most of this except for mistakenly believing that the leader of this extremist group was Hasan Thaahir Uways."
