Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

Qasim al Raymi, the military commander of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, said the US has given the terror group “1,000 new excuses and reasons to attack you” after local al Qaeda leader Jamil Nasser Abdullah al Ambari was killed. Ambari was killed in an airstrike in Abyan province on March 15.
