Khubayb al-Sudani, a leader in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, praised Humam al-Hamami’s attempted hijacking of a Flydubai jet,urged pilots to carry out attacks using civilian and military aircraft against Americans and Israelis, and attacked the Houthis. His posts focused on:
Jihadist groups use the Hijri calendar to mark dates,As the Hijri anniversary of bin Laden’s death nears,al-Qaeda media outlets are circulating his threats and predictions at unprecedented levels compared with prior years,This activity may precede an event tied to the anniversary

Al-Qaeda members say Yasin al-Suri defrauded al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, using his connections with admins of pro-al-Qaeda online channels and groups to launch a fundraising campaign in its name, prompting the group to warn about him.I previously reported on the campaign👇
Al-Qaeda warned against dealing with Yasin al-Suri, saying it had expelled him approximately ten years ago over financial embezzlement and other matters. It accused him of continuing to collect donations in the group’s name for personal purposes.
