Al Qaeda leader calls for new terror attacks against US, allies
[NYPOST] Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri...Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit.Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodox al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra... called for Islamic murderous Moslems to strike at the US, Israel and their "Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an allies" in a new video tied to the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. In an Arabic-language speech addressed to "Moslem brothers the world over," al-Zawahiri urged his followers to be "inventive and creative" as they concoct their diabolical plans. "The interests of Israel and its American, British, French, Russian, and European allies are spread all over the world," he said, according to an English-language transcript distributed with the video. "So just as they conspire and join forces against us everywhere, we must chase them down everywhere ‐ at a time and place of our choosing." Al-Zawahiri noted that that "18 years have passed since the blessed raids in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania" and also appeared to reference President Trump’s recent decision to cancel secret peace talks with the Taliban  ...Arabic for students... "The Islamic Emirate dealt severe blows to America. This is why the Americans showed keenness to negotiate with them a withdrawal from Afghanistan," he said. The 33-minute recording was discovered Wednesday morning by Raphael Gluck, co-founder of JihadOScope, a company that monitors terrorist communications on the Web and elsewhere. The video ‐ produced by al Qaeda’s propaganda arm, "Al Sahab Media" ‐ was uploaded to several Internet cloud-computing storage sites after being "teased" in messages posted Tuesday on the encrypted Telegram app, he said.
“If you want Jihad to be focused solely on military targets, the American military has presence all over the world, from the East to the West,” he said. “Your countries are littered with American bases, with all the infidels therein and the corruption they spread.” As an indicator of when the speech may have been recorded, al-Zawahri references US President Donald Trump’s recognition of the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, which was announced on March 25. He calls on Palestinians to seek “martyrdom” by attacking Israelis with a suicide vest in response. Posted by: Fred 2019-09-12 |
