Saif al-Adl is the Al-Qaeda Chief in Afghanistan. In a statement aimed at foreign fighters around the world, he told them to come to Afghanistan to train, and in so doing, they should target the West as a member of the terror group. In effect, they are stating that Afghanistan is now a safe haven for terrorists.
JPost The al-Qaeda terrorist organization is having a resurgence in Afghanistan under the ruling Taliban, setting up eight new training camps alongside five madrasas, Islamic educational institutions, around the country, a report from the UN Security Council in late January has revealed.
The report said that the training camps are located in various provinces, including Ghazni, Laghman, Parwan, and Uruzgan. It also listed sites used by al-Qaeda to move its operatives in and out of neighboring Iran, and said that a new base to stockpile weaponry has been established in the Panjshir Valley, north of the capital, Kabul.
“The group maintains safe houses to facilitate the movement between Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran in the provinces of Herat, Farah, and Helmand, with additional safe house locations in Kabul,” the report said.
ConservativeFiringLine (h/t Nita) The Taliban attained full control of Kabul, Afghanistan in 2021 after the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal. Since then, various terror groups have taken up residence or seriously increased their presence there, including Al-Qaeda. The al-Qaeda chief in Afghanistan is only one of many people beckoning foreign fighters to the country.
Al-Adl envisions the Taliban as a great “model” for Islamic governance and looks forward to having more terror attacks worldwide. With severe restrictions for women on dress, behavior, schooling, and religion, that ‘model’ is an egregious disaster for all women trapped under the rigid Islam of Afghanistan.
It’s only one of the many problems that can be directly laid at the feet of the Biden administration.
Then there’s specter of another 9-11:
I thought Al Qaeda was finished with the death of OBL.
This is a disturbing and dangerous development.
They all but were. And stayed dormant under Trump for the most part. But under Biden, they have been inspired to regroup, knowing that they have nothing to fear from the US military.
Muslims think they have the advantage due to their over breeding & Satanic god. We are still ahead of them due to our intellect & superior technology because we have the forces of good on our side. We need to take advantage and keep them in their place. Those royal families in the oil countries would at best go broke, at worst all be slaughtered by the likes of al Qaeda, etc. If they are smart they will align with the West.
Thanks, Joe.
This is inevitable, given the mess that Biden has made in America and elsewhere. This bumbling idiot left all the weapons behind when he withdrew from Afghanistan. I’ll never forget those images shown on our TV of evacuees boarding the plane for America. Our media hailed it as a gallant rescue effort but most of those boarding were CLEARLY NOT AMERICANS! Many of the American troops and their allies were left behind.
I just heard that 8 ISIS terrorists were found and arrested in New York. I wonder how they got in?
Southern Border. I heard they were located in 3 different cities.
Al-Qaeda’s former and current leader was/is of Egyptian partial or complete lineage/extraction.
Another proof that almost all Moslems of partial or complete Egyptian heritage/descent are avid supporters of the M.B., the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and, above all, the Islamic State!
