“Your leaders are assaultive, oppressive and tyrannical, and you stand behind them cheering, supporting and voting for them. Do you think anyone will excuse you while your leaders induce you to err, kill Muslims and support whoever kills them just for being a suspect? Then you come about claiming you have the right to defend yourselves! How about the aggression which is clear to your fools, and is not denied by your young, will you be excused of?” “Al-Qaeda Arabian Peninsula’s (AQAP) Qasim al-Rimi Video Indicator of Upcoming Attack Against Americans,” IntelCenter, June 2, 2013, http://intelcenter.com/reports/AQAP-ThreatWarning-2Jun2013.html.

In Their Own Words:

We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].
