The extremist Al-Qaeda organization in Yemen threatened to launch strikes against French and Swedish targets, claiming that they are hostile to Islam.
Le Figaro and the BFM news channel today, Friday, reported parts of what was published in the latest issue of the magazine issued by the organization, Through the “Telegram”, “Rockat Chat” and “WhatsApp” applications.
The organization threatened to launch a strike against a French ministry and another against a Swedish embassy.
French media reported from what was stated in the organization’s propaganda magazine “Sada Al Malahem” that “it has become It is clear that Sweden chose to take the lead in the war against Islam and Muslims among the European Union countries, competing with France, Denmark, and other countries for first place in the race to be hostile to God and His Messenger.”
The organization added, “They will not understand until they hear news like ‘the Swedish embassy’.” “It was crushed by a violent bombing” or “an armed attack against a ministry in Paris.”
BFM quoted the head of the French Center for Intelligence Research, Alain Rodier, saying, “It is difficult not to make a connection with the decision to ban the wearing of the abaya in French schools, even if it does not It is mentioned. Just referring to a ministry, for France, the matter is related to the state, specifically the country’s internal policy.”
Rodier continued, “As for Sweden, the repeated burning of copies of the Qur’an in recent months places it as a main target.”
According to the “Center for Terrorism Analysis.” Al-Qaeda is working to rebuild its capabilities in directing external threats, especially in Afghanistan but also in the Sahel region and the Iraqi-Syrian region.
The Center believes that the branch of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in particular, which claimed responsibility for the attack that occurred In Paris against Charlie Hebdo in January 2015, he has always been very active despite the major setbacks in Yemen.
The expert Alain Rodier warned that Al-Qaeda had issued threats against the newspaper “Charlie Hebdo” two years before the attack was carried out. Bloody against the newspaper, which means they have the ability to wait. “When they threaten, they often carry out,” Rodier added.
