Al-Qaida urges 'strike America in its own home'
Yemen branch ratchets rhetoric, calls for terror in U.S.
Published: 4 hours ago
The Yemen branch of al-Qaida has put out a call for terror attacks against Americans, saying lone wolf radicals ought to launch immediate strikes on U.S. soil.
“We urge you to strike America in its own home and beyond,” read a letter believed to be written by Ibrahim al-Asiri, the leading bomb-maker with al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, CNN reported.
SITE Intelligence Group said the letter states, “America is first.”
Here’s the unprecedented story of terrorists from some of the most dangerous organizations in the world, in “Schmoozing With Terrorists.”
The letter comes just as another AQAP leader, Khaled Batarfi, released a video containing a similar call to arms.
The United States hasn’t verified the authenticity of the letter, yet. But one counterterrorism agent told CNN it is “consistent with rhetoric the new leader stated upon taking over al-Qaida’s most active affiliate that is known to threaten Western interests.”
