In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Mr. Holio Cezar Topi Ayala (?), President of Colombia,
I received your message of condolence on the tragic martyrdom of the beloved president and prime minister of our country. I appreciate your sympathy and kindness. I hope these nasty crimes committed by the agents of America will get the cry of our innocence through to the world and will present the truth of the accusations against us which have gone so far as to accuse us of buying weapons from and having ties with the occupying Israel. I beseech God to grant victory to the oppressed people and to destroy the colonialists.
