The leader of al-Qaeda’s Yemen branch has threatened both US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk over Israel’s war on Gaza in his first video message since taking over the group last year.

The half-hour video message by Saad bin Atef al-Awlaki also included calls for lone-wolves to assassinate leaders in Egypt, Jordan, and Gulf Arab states over the war, which has decimated Gaza.

“There are no red lines after what happened and is happening to our people in Gaza,” al-Awlaki said. “Reciprocity is legitimate.”

Those guys always show up when they're needed, don't they?

I have never even heard of the Yemen Al Qaeda. Very unknown. But you put a dude with a beard on a screen and make him scream angry words about killing Americans and suddenly America is all good to go to invade another country in the middle east.

It's funny that he is calling for the assasination of Israeli and Arab regimes collaborating with Israel though. The classic Yall Qaeda strategy probably doesn't work in Yemen so they have to swap it up a bit.
