American Al Qaeda calls for lone wolf attacks
American Al Qaeda bigmouth Adam Gadahn Saturday urged terrorist wannabes to act alone instead of trying to join cells. His 40-minute tape supported a call last week by Al Qaeda for sympathizers to mimic the Ft. Hood killings and attempted bombings over Detroit and in Times Square.
"My brothers, know that jihad is your duty," Gadahn harangued in Arabic. "You have an opportunity to strike the leaders of unbelief and retaliate against them on their own soil."
The message seems to confirm that Al Qaeda is scaling back the size of their terrorist attacks. Last week Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's online "magazine", Inspire had essays by Anwar al-Awlaki also urging individual jihad.
The AQAP how-to manual offered suggestions for individual mass murder, such as gunning down feds at DC eateries during lunch and welding blades to the grill of a large truck to "mow down" pedestrians.
"Here you are in the battlefield, just like the heroes before you," said Gadahn.
