LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Nasr Al Ansi said that the attacks would not stop, would only increase in tenacity and frequency. He applauds the recent wave of terrorist attacks in Canada. the U.S., Europe and the rest of the world.
Act now, please help save fellow Christians from genocide!
The magazine glorifies the string of lone wolf attacks that have occurred but also provides instructions to make a bomb which it claims is undetectable at most airports.
Al-Qaeda has not traditionally advocated lone wolf attacks, instead acting as the facilitator of large-scale, well organized and highly destructive attacks. The Islamic State, especially since its meteoric rise in 2014, has been the major terrorist organization advocating lone wolf attacks in the west, even if by Muslims who are not associated with the group.
Intelligence experts have warned that lone jihadists are a greater threat to Europe, America and western targets. A single person is hard to find, hard to predict, especially if they don't broadcast their plans, and the targets that are struck do not need to have any strategic or symbolic value, the killing and destruction is just intended to strike terror.
"The Lions of Allah who are all over the globe, some call them lone wolves-should know they are the West's worst nightmare," Al Ansi said.
"So do not belittle your operations. Do not undermine your Jihad, because some deaths are caused by a thousand cuts. And a small blood clot paralyzes the whole body.
"Allah the almighty has facilitated for them capabilities that are absent to other Muslims," he continued. "Reaching the heart of the enemy's land and other targets."
The magazine's advice on bomb making describes what kind of publicly available ingredients can be used to make the weapon.
"If a Mujahid can prepare a bomb from materials used in the kitchen instead of lab material and instead of lab materials use cooking utensils, then we have a double success and we have overcome the security hurdle," the magazine advised.
