The document is the first of its kind since Osama bin Laden issued the declaration of the founding of the World Islamist Front against the Crusaders and the Jews in February 1998. The document is an official stamp marking the opening of the anti-Iranian and anti-Shi'a front alongside the traditional anti-"Crusader-Jewish" one.
