Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said it would continue to attempt to carry out low-cost, small-scale attacks against the US, particularly against aviation companies. “We will continue with similar operations and we do not mind at all in this stage if they are intercepted,” AQAP said in the latest release of Inspire magazine. “To bring down America we need not strike big.”
