“’Inspire’ Magazine Issue XI – First Issue Released Via Twitter – Review And Analysis: AQAP Praises Use Of Twitter, Reiterates Strategies Of Lone Wolf Jihad, Bringing Down U.S. Economy”
By: Steven Stalinsky and R. Sosnow*
SNIPPET: “On May 30, 2013, jihad supporters on Twitter disseminated links to Issue XI of Inspire, the English-language jihadi magazine produced by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).[1] The issue includes threats to the American people by the group’s military commander Qassim Al-Rimi; and in it, AQAP attempts to capitalize on the Boston and London attacks to incite further attacks.
Most of the articles in this issue of the magazine focus on the Boston Marathon bombing. Inspire’s publishers clearly believe that they deserve credit for providing the Tsarnaev brothers with the motivation and operational know-how for the attack. More importantly, in this issue, AQAP continues to incite Muslims in the West to carry out similar attacks, by emulating the brothers as well as the perpetrators of the May 22 Woolwich murder and attacks. Thus, featuring prominently in this issue is a message from Al-Rimi warning the American people that these attacks will continue, and that their government is helpless to stop them.[2]

Following the publication of Issue XI, on June 2, an audio warning by Al-Rimi was posted online; in it, he stated that that the Boston bombings revealed the fragility of security, urged Muslims to defend their religion, and said that making bombs such as the ones used in Boston was within “everyone’s reach.”[3]”
