NOTE: It appears that AQ is focusing on Algeria now since they have yet to bear any fruit from Tunisia, Egypt, or Libya. In Zawahiri’s video message released last week he stated:

As I congratulated our people in Libya on their victory over the tyrant, I call upon
our people in Algeria to follow their footsteps. Oh lions of Algeria, here are your brothers
in Tunisia and also in Libya have sent the two tyrants to the wasteland of history; why
aren’t you revolting on your tyrant? Oh lions of Algeria: you have given the best of
examples in sacrifice, resistance, jihad and defiance, so why are you silent before the
corrupt oppressors who are fighting your Shari’ah, communicating with Israel and stealing
the food bite from the mouths of your children to use it for corruption, and turn the
Algeria of jihad and defiance to a service agency to safeguard the interests of America
and France in the Maghrib and the coast of the Mediterranean.
Oh lions of Algeria and its free and zealous people in it, oh soldiers of Islam in its
western (the Maghrib) trench: the Muslim Ummah and all the oppressed in
the world are waiting for you to offer a jihadi example and resistance model in
resisting the corruptive tyrants. Take the help of Allah and take off in the face of this
tyrannical and abusive regime that has spilled your blood and wasted your money and
violated your honors.

al-Fajr Media presents a new book from Abū Yaḥyā al-Lībī: "Forty Virtues in Martyrdom and the Required Attributes"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

NOTE: Seems as if there is somewhat of a dissonance between the message of a book like this and the recent video release from ‘Aṭīyatullah Abū ‘Abd ar-Raḥman titled “Maximizing the Sanctity of Muslim Blood.” They are not mutually exclusive, but one wonders.
Also, it is important to note that this is the ninth release from al-Qā’idah senior leadership in the past five weeks, which compared to the past year or so is a blistering pace. Could they have found new safe houses not near where the drones are flying anymore?

New video release from Abū Yaḥyā al-Lībī: "'Aāfīa Ṣiddīqī…Captured and Subjugated…Where are the Heroes?"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

NOTE: Below are transcripts (in Arabic and Urdu) of the video that Abū Yaḥyā al-Lībī released yesterday titled “‘Aāfīa Ṣiddīqī…Captured and Subjugated…Where are the Heroes?” This is the first time we have heard from al-Lībī since June when he released a video that mourned the death of the Islamic State of Iraq’s [al-Qā’idah in Iraq] former senior leaders: Abū Ayyūb al-Maṣrī and Abū ‘Umar al-Baghdādī. For more background on the video see Florian Flade’s write-up about it. If I have time before I leave for vacation next Wednesday, I’ll try and add my two cents.
