Qaeda offshoot urges more attacks on US target, Yemen al-Qaeda leader blasts Arab states in new tape‎, Qaeda cell in Yemen calls for US attacks 'everywhere

DUBAI — Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemen-based group that claimed a botched Christmas Day attack on a US airliner, on Monday called for more American targets to be hit around the world.
Yemen al-Qaeda leader blasts Arab states in new tap"American and Crusader interests are everywhere and their agents are moving everywhere," AQAP's number two Said al-Shihri said in an audio message posted on the Internet."Attack them and eliminate as many enemies as you can," the militant leader said in the statement also picked up by the US-based SITE monitoring service.SITE reported in December that Shihri, a Saudi, was freed from the American "war on terror" prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and was promptly elevated to the senior AQAP ranks.The US monitors quoted Shihri as saying Yemeni Muslims "must be united in this battle front and support the mujahedeen," and urged "Muslims elsewhere in the Arabian peninsula to do the same" and "embrace jihad."Shihri urged Yemeni tribes, "especially Al-Awalak, to fight the agents who are plotting with the Crusaders against the Muslims."Al-Awalak is the tribe of Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical Yemeni-American cleric with reported links to US Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who went on a deadly shooting rampage in Texas in November, and to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian suspected of trying to blow up a US passenger jet on December 25."We salute the glorious invasion of Farouk," Shihri said. "We repeat what our Sheikh Osama said, that America will not dream of security until we live in security in Palestine."He was referring to an audio message last month apparently by Osama bin Laden, in which the Al-Qaeda chief warned US President Barack Obama of further attacks and called Abdulmutallab a "hero."Shihri also criticised the governments of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, which "plays the most important role in the region... to protect the oil interests of the Jews and the Christians.""The criminals of Al-Saud family are carrying out a war on the Muslims as proxies for the Zionist-Crusaders," he added of the Saudi ruling family.An Al-Qaeda aim was to gain control of the strategic Bab al-Mandab strait which connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea, Shihri said.He emphasised "the importance of Bab al-Mandab which if we, God willing, controlled it and brought it back to the house of Islam, would be a great victory and would give us great influence."Then, he said, we could "close the door and tighten the noose on the Jews, because through (Bab al-Mandab), America brings support to them by the Red Sea."He thanked Somali Al-Shebab militants for offering to support AQAP, and called for cooperation "in our next battle against the leader of the infidels, America, for you and we are on the shores of Bab al-Mandab."At the beginning of January, a senior Shebab official pledged to help AQAP by sending reinforcements to Yemen.The announcement came shortly after Sanaa stepped up its campaign against AQAP, backed by US intelligence, as international pressure mounted following the failed airliner attack.Speaking on Sunday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that while a nuclear-armed Iran would pose a threat, the threat from Al-Qaeda was greater."I think that most of us believe the greater threats are the trans-national non-state networks," she said of Al-Qaeda and its affiliates in Afghanistan, North Africa, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.She cautioned that Al-Qaeda was evolving to become "more creative, more flexible and more agile."They are, unfortunately, a very committed, clever, diabolical group of terrorists who are always looking for weaknesses and openings and we just have to stay alert," Clinton said.

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
