Al-Qa‘ida and its Yemen-based affiliate al-Qa‘ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), is actively calling for attacks in the United States.
DNI has just released new documents on AQAP.
AQAP leader Sa'd Atif al-Aulaqi, urges supporters to target US officials, government figures, law enforcement, and supporters of Israel using simple methods like firearms, explosives, knives, vehicle-rammings, or Molotov cocktails.
These calls for violence, including lone actor attacks, often exploit global conflicts involving US support and focus on targets like aviation, government facilities, symbolic sites, and the public.
Authorities and first responders are advised to stay vigilant and monitor potential threats.
