an al-Qaeda official recently warned in a Jihadist ‘Inspire’ magazine interview that the west should brace themselves for more lone wolf attacks.
Sheikh Nasr Al Ansi warned all infidels that more attacks are being prepared.
Inspire is an English language online magazine reported to be published by the organization al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The magazine is one of the many ways al-Qaeda uses the Internet to reach its audience.
Numerous international and domestic extremists motivated by radical interpretations of Islam have been influenced by the magazine and, in some cases, reportedly used its bomb-making instructions in their attempts to carry out attacks. The magazine is an important brand-building tool for all al-Qaeda branches, franchises and affiliates.
Western intelligence experts have voiced fears at the threat posed by individual jihadists without obvious connections to Islamist militants.
Their fears appear to be well-founded, according to the interview.
“The Lions of Allah who are all over the globe, some call them lone wolves – should know they are the West’s worst nightmare. So do not belittle your operations. Do not undermine your Jihad,” Al Ansi tells the magazine.
Written in the style of a commercial cookbook, the “AQ chef”, describes how commercially available ingredients can be used to make a device.
The devices can be made in a kitchen, the magazine adds.
