As thousands of Western jihadists, including hundreds of American passport
holders, are getting hardened combat training in Syria and Iraq, Jihadists
globally have been given instructions on how to make and detonate car bombs
inside America in a new English-language magazine published by Al Qaeda.
They've also been provided a new list of suggested targets for "lone-wolf"
terror attacks.



*Homeland Security Today* previously reported
<http://www.hstoday.us/briefings/daily-news-analysis/single-article/new-aqap-english-language-magazine-implies-new-attack-coming-soon/d00db1a7c2f110ded16d14708d0ad8d8.html>
that Al Malahem, the media arm of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)
-- which recently signaled solidarity with the Islamic State -- released
the first issue of its new magazine, *Palestine – Betrayal of the Guilty
Conscience*
<https://azelin.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/al-qc481_idah-in-the-arabian-peninsula-22palestine-betrayal-of-the-guilty-conscience22.pdf>,
earlier this month that's designed to inspire jihadism among Muslims around
the world, but especially in the West. It also implied that an attack is
coming soon.

AQAP’s new targets for jihadi attacks include casinos and night clubs in
Las Vegas; oil tankers and trains; Georgia Military College in
Milledgeville, Georgia; the United State Air Force Academy in Colorado
Springs and the General Atomics headquarters in San Diego, California.
General Atomics is the manufacturer of the Predator drone that was used to
kill top AQAP and other Al Qaeda members.



AQAP’s list of targets in Europe include Britain’s Royal Military Academy
Sandhurst, Camberely; the Thames House, London; and Marks and Spencer
stores during Friday prayers, since at that time AQAP says Muslims will be
praying.



Globally, AQAP also added Israeli, British and American companies, as well
as tourist resorts where Israelis, Britons and Americans frequent.



AQAP’s new magazine also includes a list of "Selected Jihadi Operations
>From 1980-2014."



Steve Stalinsky, executive director of the Middle East Media Research
Institute (MEMRI), previously told *Homeland Security Today* that, “The
timeline concludes with the date 201? and blank spaces and question marks
for the photo and information of the next attack -- implying that it is
coming soon.”



When AQAP earlier expressed solidarity with jihadists in Iraq -- pledging
to kill as many Americans as possible -- it called on all Islamic jihadist
organizations and Muslims everywhere to do the same

In June, 2011, *Homeland Security Today* reported
<http://www.hstoday.us/blogs/the-kimery-report/blog/new-details-dozens-of-top-us-military-corporate-leaders-on-aq-hit-list-ct-officials-debate-seriousness-of-threat/b5785af817bdce5249cabd37f975271c.html>that
11 of the nation’s top military leaders were among 58 past and present
military, corporate and civilian officials who’d been identified by members
of the Al Qaeda-linked Ansar Al Mujahedeen jihadist forum as infidels who
should be murdered, according to a jihadist “hit list” that accompanied a
June 6 Florida fusion center bulletin.



The bulletin coincided with an unusual flurry of similar alerts that were
issued at about the same time by the FBI, Department of Defense (DoD) and
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and which came on the heels of then
FBI Director Robert Mueller having told the Senate Committee on the
Judiciary that one of the early assessments from intelligence seized at
Osama Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan is that Al Qaeda is committed to
continuing attacks against the United States.



While officials downplayed the “hit list” as wishful thinking by Al
Qaeda-sympathetic jihadists, other counterterrorism authorities went on
high alert in response to the jihadi forums’ members’ disturbing talk of
assassinating top US military and corporate leaders, especially in light of
testimony a few weeks earlier in a federal terrorism trial that revealed a
senior Al Qaeda official had ordered Lockheed Martin chairman and CEO
Robert Stevens assassinated because his company manufactures UAVs used by
the US military in strikes against Al Qaeda and Taliban strongholds in
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Al Qaeda leadership targets in Yemen and in
special operations in Somalia.



Stevens’ name was on the list of 58 names of persons jihad forum members
recommended be killed in the name of jihad.
