Al Qaeda has issued its latest edition of Inspire magazine, Inspire 17.

The magazine is published by the media arm of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, but it covers Al Qaeda operations worldwide. In particular, Inspire 17 features the emir of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, Abu Musab Abdel al-Wadoud.

However, this latest issue of Inspire is noteworthy in that the most prominent personality in the magazine is Hamza bin Laden, son of Osama bin Laden. Hamza bin Laden is emerging as a global leader of Al Qaeda and has specifically vowed to take revenge on the U.S. for killing his father.

Here is a brief summary of the highlights of Inspire 17:

I agree that this type of information should be taken seriously and I have a much better confidence in President Trump’s team than the previous administration.

“Hamza bin Laden is emerging as a global leader of Al Qaeda and has specifically vowed to take revenge on the U.S. for killing his father.”

And this is exactly WHY we kill the enemy - and all of his family members, down to the pet goat!

It’s been WONDERFUL not to hear from Uday and Qusay *SPIT* Hussein for the past 14 years, No? ;)

I worry more about subway. Contained explosion or more likely (and worse) a gas attack in a closed loop atmosphere. Aum Shinrikro pulled one off in Tokyo 22 years ago, and they were amateurs.

Wow, it's been 14 years already?

14 years since the we sent a bird of paradise flying into their window.

I thought al Qaeda had inspired the latest issue of 17 magazine.

Pacific Surfliner (on the list) has been an apparent target for years and, in 2012-2013, when I was a weekly traveler, there were a couple times DHS secured everything and ran the dog teams, etc., through the train.
