As-Saḥāb Media presents a new video message from al-Qā’idah's Ustāẓ Aḥmad Fārūq: "Rise From Your Slumber and Shake the World: On the Genocide of Muslim Minorities in South Asia"

Check out my new article for Foreign Policy's AfPak Channel: "Dodging the drones: How militants have responded to the covert US campaign"

 

Over the past decade U.S. drone strikes have killed between 1,800 and 3,100 people in Pakistan, along with hundreds more in drone attacks in Yemen and Somalia, as a result of the United States’ efforts to combat al-Qaeda and its affiliates. The rise in strikes since the beginning of the Obama administration, and the growing stridency of questions surrounding the legal, moral, and practical efficacy of the program, have led to a lively debate among the commentariat. This debate is indeed important, but it is also crucial to understand how the drone program has affected the jihadis, and how jihadis have deployed the issue of drones in their propaganda. This is a necessary part of gaining a wider understanding of whether the program is a worthwhile endeavor.
Surprisingly, one does not see much discussion of drones by al-Qaeda Central (AQC), or by the Taliban (though it is possible that individuals in these groups are talking more about this in face-to-face encounters than online). Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), on the other hand, has exploited the drone issue extensively in the newsletter put out by their front group, Ansar al-Shari’ah (AS). As a result, question of whether drones are drawing more individuals into the arms of AQAP has been raised frequently in the past year.

New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Zabīhullah Mujāhid: "Regarding Badr ad-Dīn Haqqani"

Shawwal 07, 1433 A.H, Sunday, August 26, 2012

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

A number of western media outlets are reporting that Badruddin Haqqani has been killed. We would like to inform all media that this rumor is not correct, Badruddin is alive and in good health in Afghanistan. Badruddin Haqqani is in the country and is occupied with his operational responsibilities. The rumor about him being killed is enemy fatuous propaganda to divert peoples attention from its humiliating defeat.

Spokesman of The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
Zabihullah Mujahid
