Al Qaeda Central (AQC) has launched a threat against the United States in which it announces “a duplicate 9/11” for its support for Israel. For its part, its franchise in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) publishes in the renewed magazine “Inspire”, in video format, a manual for destroying aircraft in flight. The reason for making these threats is the support that the Americans provide to Israel in its war in Gaza, after the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 of last year.
The jihadist group has been announcing for some time that it is going to carry out a major attack, in the style of those of 9/11 or those committed against the US embassies in Kenya, Tanzania and Libya; or the destroyer USS Cole, in Yemen. Terrorists are obsessed with once again raising their “sinister calling card” in the face of global jihadism, in which the Islamic State (Daesh, Isis) has played a large part.
Anti-terrorist experts consulted by LA RAZÓN assume that the ringleaders are indeed working on planning a major attack, which does not have to be against the United States but against one of its Western allies. This is what they say in a recently released video.
Al Qaeda continues to use the figure of Ayman Al Zawahiri, killed while hiding in Kabul under the protection of the Taliban, as a reference leader. It is assumed that his successor has already been appointed and there is speculation about several names without the band having made anything public about it. Perhaps they are security reasons to prevent any operation being mounted against them.
Al Qaeda and its affiliates remained resilient and determined, even after the death of leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in July 2022, according to the latest report from the US State Department. “Senior Al Qaeda leaders continued to oversee a global network targeting the United States and its interests, particularly in Africa and the Middle East. In East Africa, Al Shabaab (AS) maintained de facto control over significant portions of south-central Somalia. AS also maintained its ability to carry out high-profile attacks in the region, including against US citizens and infrastructure, and aimed to coordinate attacks against the US homeland and Europe. In West Africa, Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) intensified attacks in the Sahel, increasingly threatening US capitals and embassies in the region, and expanded its operations in the northern border regions of the Sahel. western coast of Africa.
“In Afghanistan, elements of Al Qaeda, ISIS and terrorist groups with a regional focus remained active in the country (…). While the Taliban has pledged to prevent terrorist groups from using Afghanistan to carry out attacks against the United States and its allies, its ability to prevent elements of Al Qaeda, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, and ISIS-K from mounting external operations remains without being clear. . “The Taliban hosted and protected Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul before his death in a US airstrike on July 30, 2022,” he adds.
