Subject: requests of the Tabuk Battalion

As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu

The brothers in the Tabuk Battalion are in urgent need of the following things:

– Increasing the allotments of fuels, especially mazut. This is because of the wide distances.

– Replacing individual weapons among most of the brothers as well as the medium ones on the ribat points, because they are in a bad state, and most of them are Chinese and German.

– Brothers for ribat and to open new ribat points, because there are great distances between the ribat points, which has given rise to smuggling routes for smugglers. So just imagine what it is like then for the enemy to penetrate.

– There is a problem with connections in terms of coverage as it is not present on some points and between them.

– 50 goggles for dust.

– In need of replacing two cars for the companies, and bringing a new one for the Iraq company.

– Replacing the anti-aircraft [?] cars as far as possible, because their technical state is bad (40%) and one is in need of replacing its engines.

– Shari’i military officials and not da’wa officials.

– Replacing the motorbikes and securing spare parts.

– Hilux car because of the sand and desert environment.

– Night and day vision binoculars because the land is exposed, so there is a need for reconnaissance at a distance.

– There are two mortar cannons and there have been no projectiles for some time. We also need rockets.

– Three phones for the amir, mortar and reconnaissance.

– Cash for the battalion for emergency matters.

– Reserve stock for all necessities (arms, ammunition, motorbikes, canned goods and walkie-talkies).

May God reward you best.
