Obama Gave Al Qaeda Their Newest Leader

Published

on

  • Ibrahim al Qosi was released from Guantanamo four years ago as a low threat target, today his is one of the leaders of AQAP.
  • Al Qosi has delivered several anti-American and Saudi Arabian propaganda videos.
  • Obama has continued to release prisoners from Guantanamo with the eventual goal of shutting it down.
  • AQAP and ISIS is locked in a sort of political battle for the regions radical element. 

When Ibrahim al Qosi was released from Guantanamo Bay in 2012, a lawyer for the former Usama bin Laden aide said he looked forward to living a life of peace in his native Sudan. 

Three years later, Qosi has emerged as a prominent voice of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, appearing in a number of AQAP propaganda videos — including a 50-minute lecture calling for the takeover of Saudi Arabia.

The 56-year-old Qosi delivered a scathing critique of the Saudi monarchy — which appeared online on Feb. 6 — denouncing the Saudi government’s execution of more than 40 “mujahedeen” in January, according to the Long War Journal.

In the two-part lecture, titled “A Message to Our People in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques,” Qosi says the men were killed because they declared jihad against the “Crusaders” and opposition to American interests abroad.

Qosi speaks about Al Qaeda's jihad against the Saudi monarchy, claiming Usama bin Laden was motivated by the U.S. government's “occupation” of the country's two holiest sanctuaries, the journal reported.

Qosi's call for an end to the Saudi-U.S. alliance came at nearly the same time an Al Qaeda newsletter published a 9/11 “insider account” from a former AQAP leader who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in June.

Nasir al Wuhayshi, who was once one of bin Laden's top lieutenants, claimed he got the idea for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks after watching news coverage of the 1999 crash of EgyptAir Flight 990, in which a jihadist co-pilot caused the airliner to nosedive into the Atlantic.

Bin Laden wondered why the co-pilot in the deliberate crash did not fly the plane into buildings, according to al Wuhayshi's account in AQAP’s Al Masra newsletter. His “untold story” was published online in two parts — one on Jan. 31 and the second on Feb. 9. The interview was recorded prior to al Wuhayshi's death in June 2015 and translated by the Long War Journal after its recent online publication.

The Obama administration has stepped up efforts in recent weeks to shrink the prison population at Guantanamo Bay, with the ultimate goal of closing the U.S. detention facility despite congressional resistance.

While President Obama assured the U.S. in December that only “low-level” terrorist operatives are released from Gitmo, Qosi's emergence as the face of Al Qaeda in Yemen further fuels opposition to the plan. Critics argue the rate of recidivism is high for ex-Gitmo detainees, like Qosi.

“Al-Qaeda's supporters and much of the Muslim world think Gitmo is a torture house like from the movie ‘Saw,‘” said the Clarion Project's national security analyst, Ryan Mauro, referring to a 2004 American horror film.

“If a terrorist gets through it, it will be seen by radicals as proof of their unshakable faith and their release as a reward from Allah,” Mauro told FoxNews.com Wednesday. “They leave with a badge of honor that few terrorists can match.”

“I would not be surprised if one day the chief of Al Qaeda is someone who was released from Gitmo,” he said.

Qosi was taken to Guantanamo in 2002 and released 10 years later after pleading guilty in 2010 to war crimes. In December, the Long War Journal reported that Qosi had joined the jihad movement in Yemen after his photo and his biography appeared in online propaganda videos.

Qosi’s former U.S. attorney, Paul Reichler, told the Miami Herald in December that he had not had contact with Qosi since he left the U.S. Navy base prison in July 2012.

“I was told by a Sudanese lawyer a year ago that al Qosi was working as a taxi driver in Khartoum,” Reichler told the newspaper in an email. “I have received no information about his activities since then, and I do not know what he has been doing, or where he is living.”

Mauro also said Qosi's recent speech is part of an ongoing jihadist “competition” between Al Qaeda and ISIS, the fast-growing jihadist militant group controlling large swaths of Iraq and Syria.

“The competition among jihadists is somewhat comparable to a political campaign,” Mauro said.

“Qosi emphasized that the Saudis are lying about Al Qaeda targeting mosques. Al Qaeda is aware of the backlash that comes from that and is drawing a contrast with ISIS to appeal more broadly,” he said. “ISIS responds that Al Qaeda is unprincipled and does not follow Islamic law consistently.”

    Because Obama is a Muslim and he is helping al Queida and Isis. He is the biggest fraud ever put on America. He is destroying America from within.

  • Thomas Feigel says:

    President Obama is a subversive in every respect and is doing all he can to make our country, our military, our economy weak. With a feckless, useless congressional leadership on the Republican side, there is no push back.

  • John D. Shane says:

    We should have never traded those 5-Terrorist leaders for 1-trader the caused the deaths of some fine U.S. Military personnel.
    But Mr. Obama new what he was doing, and he hasn’t stop, and won’t.

  • Luke Coburn says:

    I am totally dumbfounded that the great majority of the American people do not have a clue to what Obama and his cabal is doing to this country. The Marxists (progressives) and the Islamists with Obama as their hit man are on the verge of literally destroying this once great nation. But then, that’s what happens when a nation forgets the LORD GOD and turns away from Him. Quite frankly, our ONLY hope is to repent and turn back to Him.

  • Bruce W. Bock says:

    Mr. Obama has been over his head with the job of president since the day he took the oath of office. He is supposed to be a world leader and he is nothing but an inept community organizer who is better a playing golf than trying to lead this Great Country of Ours. He is a disgrace to the United States.

  • Brad Pitts says:

    He is a Muslim and is working for them not us.Every move he has made is to farther the Muslim cause worldwide.

  • Corinne Sackrider says:

    I absolutely agree. The 2nd Amendment was put there for the exact reason – to protect everyday people from the criminals who get illegal weapons and use them on people who they feel are unable to protect themselves. Just look around and take Hitler as an example. He slowly took all weapons from the common people and then he and his goons turned on the Jews and brutally killed 6 million of them because they could not fight back. Well, we will fight back so the criminals will be afraid of us and not just us being afraid of them.

  • SUE SHARP says:

    THIS IS OBAMA’S DOING AND OBAMA SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH TREASON….NOTHING LESS WILL SATISFY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE….WE ARE FED UP WITH THIS MAN COMMITING TREASON OVER AND OVER AGAIN….IT’S TIME TO ARREST HIM FOR TREASON AND IMPEACH HIM FROM THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENCY…..

  • Patricia says:

    Obama can’t close Guantanamo, so he will simply empty it. He does not care if they are terrorists or not. He is more interested in protecting Muslims than Americans!

  • Charkie says:

    There was a reason that these terrorist were locked up in Gitmo . The reason was not political , but a reason that the detainees are dangerous terrorist . However since We the People have whom we have as CEO stupid stuff keeps happening.
