| [Egypt Independent] Al-Qaeda's military chief in Yemen warned Americans in an audio message posted online Sunday that the Boston bombings revealed a fragile security as he urged Musselmens to defend their religion. Qassim al-Rimi, the military chief of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, said making bombs such as the ones used in the twin blasts in Boston in April, is within "everyone's reach". "The Boston events... and the poisoned letters (sent to the White House), regardless of who is behind them, show that your security is no longer under control, and that attacks on you have taken off and cannot be stopped," he said, in the message entitled: "A letter to the American people." "Every day you will be hit by the unexpected and your leaders will not be able to defend you," warned the man whose organization is considered by Washington the world's most dangerous Al-Qaeda branch. Rimi said the killing of Al-Qaeda's founder the late Osama bin Laden ... who doesn't live anywhere anymore... in May 2011 and top Yemeni-American holy man Anwar al-Awlaki ... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, zapped in Yemen, al-Awlaki was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen. He was an Islamic holy man who was a trainer for al-Qaeda and its franchises. His sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers, by Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hussein, and UndieboomerUmar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He was the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list... in September 2011, had not ended the struggle. "Have you eliminated the jihadist groups that have spread everywhere after they had only been in Afghanistan? Today, they are in your land or close to it," he warned. To the Musselmens in the United States, he said: "We encourage you to carry on with this way, be steadfast in your religion. "Carry out your obligations, defend your religion and follow in the footsteps of those who supported their religion and Ummah (Musselmen nation) while they are in their enemy's den," he said. Two brothers, 19-year-old Dzhokhar and 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, are accused of being behind the April 15 attack near the finish line of the Boston Marathon that killed three people and maimed more than 260. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police, and Dzhokhar was captured and taken into custody after an extensive manhunt. |
