Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), recently released a 34-minute video calling on Muslims in the U.S. to wage jihad and assassinate Americans and their leaders. Among those named? President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Elon Musk.In the video, al-Awlaki demands: “Do not consult anyone before killing infidel Americans… “Go after the scum of the earth and its greatest criminals.”

This isn’t a vague threat—it’s a call to action. Al-Awlaki urged attacks not just on officials but on their families as well.

The terrorist, already carrying a $6 million bounty, heads AQAP—Al-Qaeda’s most dangerous remaining faction, according to the Times of Israel. Despite being weakened by infighting and U.S. drone strikes, the group remains lethal.

Let’s not forget: Al-Qaeda was behind the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans. Now, in 2025, its leaders are once again threatening U.S. soil.
