In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Highness Colonel Mu`ammar al-Qadhdhafi, Leader of the Islamic country of Libya,
I acknowledge the receipt of your message on the sad disaster of the martyrdom of the honorable faqih (jurisprudent) and martyr of altar, Hadrat Ayatullah Sadouqi with appreciation. These martyrdoms will in no way weaken the Islamic Republic, but will rather strengthen and fructify this clean tree. These blind-hearted munafiqin with their indiscriminating crimes are ever greater disgraced and discredited before the deprived and Muslim nations. Architects of these crimes- the world-devouring US and its European and Asian accomplices, should know that our heroic and revolutionary people have been ready for such sacrifices in order to bring the Islamic Revolution to fruition and will not leave the scene for the criminal munafiqin with such blind and aimless crimes. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you!
