Fisher specifically refers to a recent pronouncement by U.S. born and Yemen-based AQAP leader Anwar al-Awlaki, the inspiration behind several attacks against the U.S. in the past year.
Fisher writes:
In a video posted to jihadi forums on Monday, Anwar al-Awlaki, an ideological leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and influential figure to allied jihadist groups worldwide, denounced Iran. He urged his followers to place the Iranian regime in the same category as traditional al-Qaeda target, “the American occupation.”
Bu- bu- but they’re all “jihadists”!
