Second in command of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula Saeeda Al-Shahri called Monday on the Muslims in the peninsula to wage Jihad as he congratulated the Christmas Day alleged bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on the blessed conquest.
On the botched attack on the Detroit plane, international reports said on Monday that Al-Shahri has said the attempt was directly organized by Osama Bin Laden.
In an audio tape that was issued by the Malahim Corporation early today, Al-Shahri said he had survived an airstrike in the southern province of Shabwa in late December, vowing to continue his path until he gets martyrdom or he is killed.
He also called on the Yemeni people to support Mujahideen and thanked the Somali Shabab Movement which announced after the recent terror operations in north and south Yemen its readiness to send militants to fight with Al-Qaeda in Yemen.
International summits on Yemen such the one held last month in London or the upcoming meeting in Riyadh are crusade conferences to plot against the country because they are mainly aimed at preventing Mujahideen from controlling sea passages, particularly the Bab Al-Mandab strait, he said.
The conferences would be followed by applying the Petraeus Scheme aimed at dismantling Al-Qaeda's social and population structures, said the Saudi terrorist.
The plan was based on three axes: the first: mobilizing Muslims against themselves through what are called Alsahwat; second: distorting the image of Mujahideen through sabotage acts in the name of them such as bombing mosques and markets as well as assassinating Muslim figures; and the third axis, according to Al-Shahri, was based on planting spies and alluring the Muslim publics with money through the state's intelligence.
Al-Qaeda is against spilling the Muslim blood, he said, warning the Muslims of being misled by the media that publishes untrue information about Al-Qaeda Mujahideen.
Al-Shahri also accused the Saudi and Egyptian leaderships of protecting Israel, through beating Mujahideen and planning to prevent their growth.
Saeed Al-Shahri joined Al-Qaeda after he returned from Guantanmo and underwent a Saudi Munasaha Program for extremists.
