TIMBUKTU, Mali — In their hurry to flee last month, Al Qaeda fighters left behind a crucial document: Tucked under a pile of papers and trash was a confidential letter, spelling out the terror network’s strategy for conquering northern Mali and reflecting internal discord over how to rule.
The document is an unprecedented window into the terrorist operation, indicating that Al Qaeda predicted the military intervention that would dislodge it in January and recognized its own vulnerability.

Al Qaeda has declared war on every sovereign nation in the world. Harsh as it is, the only appropriate response to an enemy determined to kill you is to kill him first.
