Incident Appendix

The eye sheds tears and the heart grieves, and we are saddened by your separation… We say only what pleases our Lord: “We belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return.” To Allah belongs what He gave, and to Allah belongs what He took, and everything with Him has an appointed term. We mourn my uncle, the martyred Hajj Mahdi Ali Naseer, Abu Muhammad, and his son, the martyred mujahid Ibrahim Mahdi Ali Naseer, and my aunt’s husband, the martyr Ahmad Eid Naseer, Abu Haitham, and my aunt’s sons: the martyred commander Musa Ahmad Eid Naseer, the martyred commander Haitham Ahmad Eid Naseer, and the martyr Ahmad Haitham Naseer, and the martyred mujahid Taher Aref Naseer.
