Is another 9/11 on the way? Al-Qaeda urges lone wolves to target airlines and the U.S.

Al-Qaeda's online, English-language jihadist magazine, "Inspire", just published a new edition which aims to rectify the apparent lack of recent terrorist attacks in the United States.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The 13th issue since the Yemen affiliate began publishing, the new edition offers advice and suggestions to lone wolf jihadists who wish to damage America.

Act now, please help save fellow Christians from genocide!

Lists of potential targets include American figures, sites and commercial airlines.

This is not the first time "Inspire" has asked jihadists to attack America.

The magazine's founder, Samir Zafar Khan, was raised in New York state before moving to Yemen to join al-Qaeda, where he was killed by an American drone in 2011.

He published an article titled "How to Build a Bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom" which was subsequently used by two eastern European Muslims who used the information to attack the 2013 Boston Marathon, killing three Americans and wounded over 250 more.

Utilizing "Inspire" as a helpful guidebook to potential and current jihadists is part of a new al-Qaeda campaign to help terrorists become better at insurgency. Lacking the ability to fight a modern military in a straight fight, major terrorist groups are looking back to the insurgent campaigns waged in Afghanistan and Iraq, and focusing on more traditional, civilian-targeting terrorist acts.

Another militant group released a video which helps jihadists learn to avoid being detected by drones.

In the video, jihadists are instructed to make a camouflaged "insulation cover" from everyday materials like canvas or aluminum foil, this will help hide the fighter from visual and heat sensors.

The video also instructs jihadists to travel in cars that aren't known to be used by terrorist groups, and to make frequent stops to look for overhead drones or surveillance planes.

This new focus on targeting and attacking civilians and learning to avoid being detected by the air should be a wake up call to the west. Jihadist groups are not going away, they are dedicated to fighting and killing for Islam until they are all killed or the world is burnt or converted.

What the west needs to ask itself, is if it is willing to fight as long or as hard.
