Al-Qaeda threatens NYC energy, transportation with suicide bombers, relaunches English magazine

By promoting "open source jihad," Al-Qaida, the group responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is hoping to decentralize weapons manufacturing instructions and materials.

Al-Qaeda's Arabian Peninsula branch released a video in English threatening New York City's energy grid and subway system, as well as airplanes in general, with suicide bombers as the group relaunched its English-language magazine, "Inspire."

The Transportation Security Administration said Monday that it is monitoring the potential threat posed by the al-Qaeda affiliate, according to NewsNation.

Al-Malahem Media, Al-Qaeda Arabian Peninsula's media arm, published the video late last month. It opens with a picture of Al-Qaeda's logo and the translated Quran verse: "And fight in the way of Allah, you are not held responsible except for yourself ... and inspire the believers."

The video features a video of the American flag followed by Israeli flags being burned as a voice says, "Our enemy is one and that is why we strive jihad against this enemy."

The video then shows what appears to be a bomber as the narrator says: "We have returned to you again in a new form, and we present to you Open Source Jihad."

"Inspire" was last published in 2017, and the video suggests that the brand has been reinvented in an expanded form.

The video flashes between scenes of busy areas of New York City, an exploding aircraft, the subway system, a person assembling a bomb, and operatives with suicide vests wearing Palestinian keffiyehs.

"We are not aware of any credible threats resulting from this video to date," the TSA said. "Foreign terrorist organizations routinely highlight transportation modes during the holidays. TSA is operating at a high level of security and constant state of vigilance, as always."

By promoting "open source jihad," Al-Qaeda, the group responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is hoping to decentralize weapons manufacturing instructions and materials.

A longer video was released days after the first. It issues a call to action to take revenge for what is happening in Gaza after Israel responded to the Hamas invasion on Oct. 7, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute....

This could all be bluster, it still should be taken seriously, given our open border, it would not be difficult to get suicide bombers and explosives into the USA to carry out attacks.

It is easier than ever under Xao Bi-Dung. Walk across the southern border. Free bus ride to NYC. The NGOs coordinating the illegal immigration could probably check the electrical connections on the vests to make sure they meet code.

It only takes one disease infected fool to kill 100,000.

all of the bin Laden lovers who came out of the woodwork after 10/7 might be place to start looking, not to mention the hoards of antifa/pro-Hamas idiots.

Well, it's good to know TPTB are on top of this watching out for us. What a relief.

SMH......(Actually, that makes me feel less safe. Tells me they know something is in the works and they are allowing it.)

It looks like America’s “strength” is getting ready to kick our ass again like they did back on 9/11.

“..It looks like America’s “strength” is getting ready to kick our ass again...”

Under the jackboot authority of Xao Bi-Dung’s seditionist regime, it’s practically a given.

Yup. While America sleeps, this country is littered with thousands of terrorists, and the number is growing. The Obama/Soros network is winning.

9/11 was nothing compared to what’s in store for this country. Obama is pulling the strings on Mr. Magoo and the populace doesn’t give a tinker’s damn.

I’m sure they are along with terrorists from any number of countries that don’t like the US and want to do harm to us, all they are waiting on is a signal to begin.

I agree. The “media” has never suffered from the fake news syndrome as they are now. You can’t believe a damn thing the “media” throws out there anymore. Not a damn thing.

I’d bet $5 that all that stuff is already here, stockpiled in mosques, and ready-to-go, as soon as they get their “go orders”. We’re way “overdue” (thankfully) for another 9-11. I don’t trust the TSA, DHS or FBI

Especially since it only requires one to visit Lowes or Home Depot, an Auto Parts store and a Grocery store to legally purchase the necessary ingredients to produce them yourself.

You’re right; all that stuff is legally and readily available, as well as ammonia-diesel fuel bomb material, with the right agricultural connections.
