3:38Now PlayingThe Yemen-based Sunni militant group, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, was once one of the active militias in the Middle East. But now, it is rapidly losing ground. In a bid to stay relevant, Al-Qaeda’s Yemen group, or AQAP, is inserting itself into the Gaza conflict and declaring jihad on the US.
According to experts, AQAP chief Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki has been using the Gaza war to boost his global standing and counter Yemen’s Shiite military group, the Houthis. In his first-ever video-recorded message, Awlaki vowed support for the people of Palestine and called for widespread vengeance and violence. He called on his followers to assassinate leaders in Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab states for not showing support for Gaza.
In the video, Awlaki even called for the assassinations of US President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. Experts claimed that Awlaki’s violent threats are part of his calculated tactic to garner support for the group, which has been weakened after the US killed its leaders. Since the US attacks, the group lost dominance and is now trying to replicate the Houthis’s strategy to increase its popularity. The Houthis had gained prominence after they declared support for Gaza and started a military campaign against Israel and the US.
