Message [Response to message of congratulation on the occasion of the auspicious feast of Fitr]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Mr. Shadhli Bin Jadid, President of Algeria,

I acknowledge the receipt of your message congratulating me on the occasion of the auspicious feast of Fitr on 13 th of Dhu'l-Qa'dah al-Haram. Reciprocally, I congratulate you and the brotherly people of Algeria on this great Islamic feast. I hope that Muslims will appreciate the sensitivity of the time and try to uncover a thwart the many conspiracies designed by the enemies of Islam, particularly the world-devouring US, to be carried out through some values of Islamic countries, for the destruction of Islam and Muslims, and to dissociate themselves from mercenaries and lackeys such as the criminal Saddam. May God's peace be upon you!
