Lost amid all of the media focus on the Islamic State (IS) has been the focus on the threat al-Qaeda continues to present to the United States and the country’s security interests around the world. As the Afghanistan withdrawal policy was implemented in earnest last year, al-Qaeda largely slipped from the U.S. media radar, the faces […]
Terrorism strikes Paris, the heart of cultural Europe, and Europeans awaken from a very dangerous sleep. What happened in Paris shows that European Union governments have failed their policy against the jihad; they have maintained a low level of alert, but mostly, they have left the initiative to the terrorists. As explained by Boaz Ganor, founder […]
Five years ago this week, on December 30, 2009, Jordanian doctor Humam Khalil Abu Mulal al-Balawi carried out the single most successful direct attack on the American national security operatives responsible for targeting and killing al-Qa’ida members post-9/11, when he detonated his explosive vest within the wire of FOB Chapman—CIA’s Khowst Base—killing five CIA officers […]
In the hours following their attack on a school in Peshawar on December 16, Pakistani terrorist group Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) issued a claim of responsibility and cited reprisal for the Pakistani military efforts to root out and destroy the group this past summer. Under the orders of Maulawi (Mullah) Fazlullah, gunmen disguised in Pakistani military uniforms […]
The public’s focus on the seemingly endless number of human-rights abuses and territorial gains of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has left al-Qaeda somewhat on the margins of the debate over the strategic objectives of the international Islamist movement. This summer, as ISIS surged into Iraq and the conflict in Syria finally […]
If you were to ask a sampling of American security and intelligence officials for their pick as the gravest threat to face the United States from global jihadists, you might be surprised by the answer you would hear. If you listen to official Washington, or the establishment media, for your answer, you might hear: a […]
Several sources have reported a new merger between Syria’s Jabhaat al Nusra (Al Nusra Front) and the Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS). This is significant news, considering the recent falling out between Al Nusra and ISIS last year, when Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the emir of ISIS, claimed overall command over both […]
We have reported fairly extensively here on SOFREP about the Islamist rebels in Syria, but most of our reporting has been on their battlefield actions and some of their internet announcements and letters. Here we have an interview with Sheikh Abu Sulayman Al-Muhajir (Abu Sulayman The Immigrant), an Al Qaeda cleric who recruited for Al Qaeda […]
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O05EOkapXHY] Obviously, this has been put together for propaganda purposes, but some information can be gleaned from it. While they seem to be concentrating on maneuvers (though their dispersion is still pretty bad), marksmanship doesn’t seem to have made any headway on the list of priorities since the Iraq insurgency. The above video […]
In a statement released online, Al Qaeda’s senior leadership (sometimes simply referred to as AQSL) officially disowned the Islamic State of Iraq and as Sham, led by Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. In the statement (which does not name any of the AQ senior leadership, not even Zawahiri), it is said that the ISIS has repeatedly […]
On Tuesday, Oct 15, Abu Anas al Libi, captured in Libya on Oct 5, was arraigned in federal court in New York. He is believed to have been instrumental in the bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1998. He has pleaded “not guilty” to terrorism charges, and his lawyer is claiming that […]
The Syrian Civil War appears to be becoming increasingly three-way (four-way if you count the Kurds). The Islamic State of Iraq and as Sham assassinated Ahrar al Sham’s chief humanitarian aid worker on Sept. 11, apparently in keeping with an operational strategy voiced by Ayman al Zawahiri the next day. On Sept. 12, Zawahiri issued […]
