To: our dear brother and shaykh the wali of Aleppo, Abu Ayat al-Joufi
May God protect and guard him
As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu
As for what follows:
We inform you, our dear shaykh:
There is an Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Tunisi, who is disabled and is affiliated with the office of the wounded. With him is an Abu Ghayth al-Tunisi who is affiliated with the Dabiq Division and is a companion for the disabled Abu Abd al-Rahman and Abu Hurayra al-Tunisi. They have departed to Wilayat al-Raqqa and when they were loading household items, the brother Abu Hassan al-Babi asked them: Why are you taking these household items? They told him: The wali allowed us to take these items, and this person [who owned them] is an apostate. He said to them: Why is he an apostate? They said: Because he has in his house photos of himself with officers.
(And God knows best: these photos are from the days of the house owner’s military service).
Our shaykh, we ask you to inform the brothers in Wilayat al-Raqqa to follow up with them.
——————
There is a person called Abu A’isha al-Tunisi. He came to al-Hasawi gas station to fill up on gasoline. So he asked the worker at the station to fill up his car with 40 litres of gasoline and without a receipt or money. Abu A’isha intended to force the worker to do this, so the worker shut the gas station. Then Abu A’isha hit the worker, loaded him into the car, and took him to the al-Sawami’ area. There also Abu A’isha hit him and said to him: You are a disbeliever. So the worker asked him: Why are you hitting me? Is it for the sake of gasoline? He said to the worker: No, because you are a disbeliever, and were I the Dawla, I would fire 100 bullets into your head. The worker made a complaint against him. Days later, Abu Sayf al-Hadidi came and said to the worker: You have committed kufr [disbelief], and God willing we sill sort out matters for you and we will see Abu A’isha for you. Perhaps these matters will require punishment, because you have committed kufr. But it should be noted that the worker did not commit kufr. Abu Sayf asked him to withdraw the complaint, and so the worker did that out of fear, and there is an audio recording of the worker.
—————–
As you know, our shaykh, there is work on the Internet on a daily basis, whereby we shut the accounts of the takfiris and Khawarij.
—————
Our dear shaykh, we inform you that we have installed the eavesdropping device in the al-Bushi mosque, but the device performs weekly, and we have not found one better than it in the marker. So we need a high quality eavesdropping device.
—————-
We inform you, our dear shaykh, that the amnis in the Muslima sector arrested a smuggler who had a van with him. They sold the vehicle for a sum of money (though we don’t know how much), and they gave its owner half of the sum, and the truth of these words is 80%. And God knows best.
Do you want us to follow up on the matter?
——————
We also inform you, our dear shaykh, that it has become clear to us that in every wilaya in the Islamic State, there are contingents of Turkistanis, and each contingent has an amir in every meaning of the word. This amir is not appointed by the Islamic State. Who is the one who appointed that person as amir??? It is not known, AND god knows best, our dear shaykh, who are these groups. We have not encountered any problem [from them] but they stir up astonishment and worry.
And may God reward you best.

As for what follows:
Our dear brother: the brothers in the military police (may God protect them) have a report about the contingent of Abu Muqatil al-Albani. We need this report. We ask you to send them a letter so we can get the report.
May God reward you best.

To: our dear brother and shaykh, the wali of Aleppo, Abu Ayat al-Joufi (may God protect and guard him)
As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu. As for what follows:
Our dear shaykh, we ask you to address and ask the military brothers in the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq battalion if they have a brother called Abu Harun al-Husayni, who is an ansari, and to askt hem what work does he do in the battalion. The reason we ask, our dear shaykh, is that this person does intelligence work for the interest of Abu Anas al-Tunisi, who was the amir of the brigade and has now been on sick leave for around a month in al-Tabqa.
Also, our dear shaykh, ask them if they have a brother called Abu al-Abd al-Tunisi, who was in Liwa al-Sadiq and is now working in military connections- and God knows best. The reason we ask if that he was among those closest to Abu Mu’adh al-Tunisi, who has fled outside the land of the Caliphate.
That is all, and God knows best.
May God reward you best.

As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu
Report about the situation of some people against whom cases of extremism in the wilaya are recorded:
1. Abu Musa al-Tunisi:
He says about those of the brothers who are killed that they are fata’is [NB: a derisive way in Arabic of referring to people who are killed]. He also says that resorting to the arbitration of the Islamic police should only be in the event of necessity. He also calls the brother Abu Abdullah al-Ifriqi an enemy of God, and he describes the brother Abu Ahmad al-Halabi as being a “pig and enemy of God,” and there is a recording of that. He has left the wilaya and it is believed that he is in al-Tabqa.
2. Abu Nabil al-Tunisi:
A friend of Abu al-Rabab and a friend also of Safwan al-Tunisi, who are known for their takfir against the Dawla. Abu Nabil has been seen meeting with Safwan al-Tunisi more than once, after Abu Nabil was imprisoned for the first time.
3. Abu Uqab al-Muhajir (al-Homsi)
He declares takfir on his father and mother who live in the area of the Nusayri regime, and he tests the brothers in creed and asks them about memorisation. He declares takfir on the one who does not answer.
He is in contact with a person from Germany and sends him 3000 euros each month and says he is his brother. He has been known to lie frequently, and he works in the Sa’d battalion in the northern countryside.
4. Abu al-Harith al-Tunisi
He said he wants to treat Abu Asad al-Masri’s wife as a sabiya, and he will strive to expel her from the office of martyrs because her husband is a disbeliever. He is wanted by the diwan.
5. Abu Dujana al-Tunisi (amir of the wilaya’s battalion).
He says that the Dawla should deal with the masses just as the Prophet (SAWS) dealt with the three who refrained from going on expeditions with the Messenger of God (SAWS). He asserts that the Dawla must expel the masses from their homes because they do not want to fight with the Dawla.
In addition, he does not give the salam greeting to the masses.
6. Abu Hudhayfa al-Tunisi:
A brother saw him take money from a car of the masses that was heading towards the areas of the apostates (ihtitab), and after Abu Hudhayfa al-Tunisi took the money, he concealed it, and Abu al-Walid has seen it with his own eye (the witness: Abu al-Walid al-Ansari).
