The Islamic Revolution Movement is al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), and what prevents it from openly acknowledging this is the same reason that has kept al-Qaeda’s leadership from officially announcing Ayman al-Zawahiri’s death to this day.
جھوٹ پراپیگنڈا! انقلاب اسلامی کے ساتھ القاعدہ کا کوئی تعلق نہیں ہے۔
انقلاب اسلامی نے اول روز سے واضح کیا ہے کہ وہ خود مختار ، پاکستان کے اندر کام کرنے والی جماعت ہے ، ایسے میں القاعدہ کے ساتھ اسے جوڑنا بڑی بد دیانتی ہے۔

Al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen commented on the decision to execute Nidal Hasan in an article analyzing AQAP’s statement, asserting that al-Qaeda’s rhetoric reaches beyond its members to lone-actor attackers and threatening continued attacks against the U.S. Its main points were:

Al-Qaeda supporters are boasting that they got four ISIS bots shut down on Telegram after a mass-reporting campaign launched in their online groups in retaliation for al-Qaeda members killed in Burkina Faso. They are now listing ISIS bots to report and get shut down
In retaliation for what happened in Burkina Faso, pro-al-Qaeda groups have announced a campaign to report ISIS bots on Telegram in an effort to get them shut down,even though some al-Qaeda religious scholars consider such actions a form of siding with unbelievers against Muslims!

For the first time,I’m seeing such grief in closed WhatsApp groups of al-Qaeda supporters in Burkina Faso along with requests for prayers for victory in the fighting against ISIS.Regardless of whether the reported death toll is accurate, al-Qaeda’s losses appear to be substantial

@Dr_SaraHarmouch
MI5’s chief ranks #AI-enabled bioweapons as the misuse he fears most. The group I’d watch is #alQaeda: patient, WMD-minded, & working in Arabic while AI bio-risk tests mostly run in English. More articles soon on AI & terrorist groups shorturl.at/9q7Gm
