Al-Qaeda Magazine Urges Attacks on ‘Soft’ Targets
Shooting up a Washington, D.C., restaurant hoping to "knock off a few government employees" is just one helpful suggestion coming from the Yemeni-based terror outfit.The latest issue of the magazine published by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula confirms what we’ve learned from the European terror alerts: the al-Qaeda leadership is commanding the network to focus on “soft” targets that can be struck with ease. This is a reflection of the group’s degraded capacity, but this shift means an attack is far more likely, albeit with a much smaller casualty count than on 9-11.
The most frightening suggestion in al-Qaeda’s magazine is that jihadists carry out shootings at restaurants in Washington, D.C., as it’ll garner media attention and “might end up knocking out a few government employees.” Other ideas are more creative, such as creating “the ultimate mowing machine” by driving a pickup truck with blades welded onto the grill to “mow down the enemies of Allah.” It advises that “you need to pick up as much speed as you can while still retaining good control.”
