“Al-Qaida in Yemen Claims Responsibility for Christmas Day Airline Terror Plot”
By Evan Kohlmann
SNIPPET: “Al-Qaida’s network in Yemen (otherwise known as “Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula”) has issued an official communique claiming responsibility for the failed terrorist bomb plot targeting a Delta/Northwest airliner traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas day. The communique included original photographs of would-be bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab grinning in front of an Al-Qaida banner. The group acknowledged that the device had failed to properly detonate, but promised that it would “continue on this path until we achieve success.” The statement also congratulated Ft. Hood shooter Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan and urged fellow Muslims to follow in his footsteps and kill American soldiers.
A complete translation of the communique from AQIY/AQAP can be accessed via the NEFA Foundation website.

Most Americans have never heard of Anwar al Awlaki, but the radical Muslim cleric who may have inspired a young Nigerian man to try to blow up a plane on Christmas Day has been linked to the alleged perpetrators of the deadliest terror attacks on U.S. soil this decade, from 9/11 to the massacre at Fort Hood....

Awlaki is regarded as a protege of Abd-al-Majid Al-Zindani, who was designated by the U.S. Treasury as a terrorist on February 24, 2004. Zindani was a close associate of Osama bin Laden, and he set up the Al Iman University in Sanaa in Yemen.
As reported by the Jamestown Foundation, there have been rumors that Al-Zindani gave a fatwa that resulted in the attack on USS Cole in the Gulf of Aden in 2000, an event that killed 17 U.S. sailors.

The terrorists who flew the plane into the Pentagon lived here in San Diego as well as the Imam Anwar al-Awlaki
Awlaki also received a M.A. degree from San Diego St. Univ.

Awlaki returned in 1991 to study engineering at Colorado State University.
That’s interesting - Yemen supported Iraq in the Gulf War which was going on about that time. Yemen has a few political parties of note- one is the Baathist Party, which is also found in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and which was born in Syria.
I wonder if the Baathist party sent an operative to the US under his name on purpose , not unlike the 1993 WTC bomb plotter Michell Malkin often talks about ...
