“Go After The Scum Of The Earth” – Al-Qaeda Leader Urges Followers To Assassinate Trump, Vance, Musk, Rubio, Hegseth Over Gaza War<\/span><\/p>\n

The leader of al-Qaeda\u2019s Yemen branch is urging fellow Islamists in the United States to assassinate President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, tech billionaire Elon Musk, and other U.S. leaders, calling them \u201cscum of the earth and its greatest criminals.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In a chilling video message that appeared online Saturday, Saad bin Atef al-Awlaki encouraged his followers to assassinate the leaders because they support Israel\u2019s war against Hamas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no red lines after what happened and is happening to our people in Gaza,\u201d al-Awlaki said in his first propaganda video since taking over the terror group last year. \u201cReciprocity is legitimate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI call upon every Muslim in the infidel, criminal, and arrogant United States \u2026 I am saying to all of them revenge, revenge!\u201d <\/strong><\/em>he declared.<\/p>\n

Al-Awlaki stressed that it doesn\u2019t matter whether the terrorists are \u201cArab, American or other descent, what matters is that should be Muslims whose prophet is Muhammed.\u201d\u00a0 He correctly noted that there are roughly 4.5 million Muslims in the United States.<\/p>\n

The al Qaeda leader went on to caution his followers hatch their assassination plots in secret.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>he said, before specifying who should be targeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo after the scum of the earth and its greatest criminals:\u00a0This is Trump and his vice president; this is Elon Musk, his advisor; these are his secretary of State and his secretary of Defense,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>al-Awlaki said.<\/p>\n

As the terrorist said these words, images of Trump (alongside Archbishop Elpidophoros of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America), Vance, Musk (with images of Musk\u2019s business logos), Secretary of State Marco Rubio (with Ash Wednesday ashes on his forehead), and Secretary of State Pete Hegseth flashed across the screen.<\/p>\n

Al-Awlaki encouraged his followers in the United States to also \u201cgo after their families\u201d and \u201call those who have any ties or are close to the politicians in the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

The half-hour propaganda video also included calls for lone-wolf terrorists to assassinate leaders in Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf Arab states over the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Al-Qaeda\u2019s Yemen branch, known by the acronym AQAP, is considered the most dangerous branch of al-Qaeda, according to\u00a0the Times of Israel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Al-Awlaki already has a $6 million US bounty on his head, as Washington says he \u201chas publicly called for attacks against the United States and its allies.\u201d He replaced AQAP leader Khalid al-Batarfi, whose death was announced by the group in 2024.<\/p>\n

AQAP seizing onto the Israel-Hamas war follows the efforts of Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels to do the same. The Iranian-backed group has launched missile attacks on Israel and targeted commercial vessels moving through the Red Sea corridor, as well as American warships.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration launched an intense campaign of strikes on the Houthis, which only ended before the president\u2019s recent trip to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that AQAP has between 3,000 and 4,000 active fighters and passive members. The terrorists reportedly raise money by robbing banks, smuggling weapons, counterfeiting currencies and conducting ransom operations.<\/p>\n

In his video message, Al-Awalaki praised those who have carried out antisemitic terror attacks on civilians.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not leave a single safe place for Jews \u2014 just as they have not left any homes, shelters, or respite for the Palestinians,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> he said. \u201cEven hospitals are being bombed over the heads of the sick and wounded, and the heads of the women, children and the elderly. Take revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
