"New evidence has emerged that key agencies of the United Arab Emirates may have been infiltrated by al-Qaeda. In May or June of 2002, al Qaeda officials wrote a letter to the UAE government claiming the emirates were “well aware” of the infiltration.

The letter, translated by the United States Government, is publicly available on the website of the West Point Combating Terrorism Center. "

The Letter (pdf):


"You are well aware that we have infiltrated your security, censorship, andmonetary agencies along with other agencies that should not be mentioned.Therefore, we warn of the continuation of practicing such policies, which do notserve your interests and will only cost you many problems that will place you inan embarrassing state before your citizens. In addition, it will prove youragencies’ immobility and failure. Also, we are confident that you are fullyaware that your agencies will not get to the same high level of your AmericanLords. Furthermore, your intelligence will not be cleverer than theirs, and yourcensorship capabilities are not worth much against what they have reached. Inspite of all this Allah has granted us success to get even with them and harmthem."
