Al-Qaeda in Yemen Announces ‘Solidarity’ With ‘Our Muslim Brothers in Iraq’
August 20, 2014 - 4:25 AM

The world’s two most dangerous Islamic terror groups appear to be joining forces.
A statement purportedly by al-Qaeda’s Yemen-based branch -- al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula -- expresses support for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS/ISIL), the Yemen Times reported on Tuesday.
“We announce solidarity with our Muslim brothers in Iraq against the crusade. Their blood and injuries are ours and we will surely support them,” the newspaper quoted the AQAP statement as saying.
“We stand by the side of our Muslim brothers in Iraq against the American and Iranian conspiracy and their agents of the apostate Gulf rulers.”
The statement went on to offer ISIS fighters tips on how to avoid airstrikes, like those President Obama ordered against the jihadists in northern Iraq 12 days ago.

I think Obama's middle east policy has created "a flood of new Islamic terrorists" and increased the danger to US interests to a higher level than at any time since the 9/11 attacks. "Obama's Failed Mideast Policy Is Creating More Terrorism." it's going to be interesting to see how they handle things when they bring their terrorism right to our own doorsteps. It's going to happen, not if it will happen, but when. I just wonder how long it will take folks to realize it was better to engage and kill them there than around the corner from YOUR house.
