“All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, Allah has blessed us with effective operations against the transgressing Americans and we ask Allah to grant us more… All of the branches of al-Qa‘idah have succeeded in powerful operations against the Americans and the latest is the car bomb in New York. The different branches have good competition in fighting the Americans and their allies. All of them want to win the race of destroying the idol (i.e., America) and to have the greatest share in that effort.”“Interview with Shaykh Abu Basir: the Head of al-Qa’idah in the Arabian Peninsula,” Inspire Magazine 1 (2010): 13-17.
