In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Mr. Muhammad Zayad Bareh (?), President of the Democratic Republic of Somalia,
I received your message of condolence on the tragic martyrdom of the beloved President, Muhammad-`Ali Raja'i and the committed Prime Minister, Dr. Bahonar, in a bomb explosion with appreciation. It is hoped that these disgraceful plots committed by the agents of world-devouring America, will expose the true image of these criminals to the world, especially our `Arabic-speaking and Muslim brothers so as not to fall for their poisonous propaganda which has gone so far as to brazenly accuse us of buying weapons from and having ties with the occupying Israel.
