Dialogue between the publication, Al-Liwaa, and the official spokesman of Asbat Al-Ansar, Sheikh Abu Sharif Aql, was recently posted to the password-protected Al-Qaeda-affiliated forum, Al-Ekhlaas.  

Sheikh Abu al-Sharif Aql, one of the sheikhs of Asbat al-Ansar and its official spokesman, speaks in a forty-two minute audio speech which was distributed to jihadist forums, including the password-protected al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Hesbah network, today, Monday, June 11, 2007.

Two jihadist groups in southern Lebanon operating out of the Ein al-Hilwah Palestinian refugee camp, the Mujahideen in Ein al-Hilwah Camp and Asbat al-Ansar, issued statements announcing actions in defense of the Muslims in Nahr al-Bared camp in northern Lebanon.

A lengthy document containing the belief, curriculum, and reasons for the founding of Asbat al-Ansar was recently published by the group to jihadist forums, including the password-protected al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Hesbah Network.

A collection of 170 websites and forums which contain information about guns, ammunition, and explosives, and manufacture of these materials and distribution, was posted by a member of the al-Nusra, a password-protected forum affiliated with Asbat al-Ansar in southern Lebanon.

In a posting today, Tuesday, October 24, 2006, to the al-Nusra forum, which is a password-protected jihadist website affiliated with Asbat al-Ansar in southern Lebanon, a member suggested using remote-controlled cars and airplanes in insurgent attacks in Iraq.
