Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) Mourns Abu Jandal al-Qasami
The NEFA Foundation has obtained the first issue of the "Martyrs of the Arabian Peninsula" released by Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQP), which records the life and death of Abu Jandal al-Qasami, a.k.a. Ibrahim Saleh Mujahid al-Khalifa.
After arriving in Yemen, he "learned much about weapons and took classes in guerrilla warfare, electronics, first aid, explosives and some Shari'a sciences. He was very enthusiastic."
According to the document, "He took part in some battles in Yemen, including the battle of Ma'arib, and also participated in some raids. He was a member of the Abdullah Batees' battalion which killed three officers and a number of soldiers who wronged and tortured our brothers in their prisons at Hadramawt."
Further, "He was a spark in battle, urging his brothers to fight the tyrants and apostates, until Allah blessed him and chose him in one raid to clash with the soldiers of apostasy and agents of America, form the front and not from the rear. He was the commander of that company..."
