“Instead, everyday you will be hit by the unexpected and your leaders can repel nothing! Do not deny when evil befalls you, when you taste a bit of destruction that you inflict on others.

The war between you and us has not ceased...”“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.
