BY James Gordon Meek<http://www.nydailynews.com/authors/James%20Gordon%20Meek> DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU Monday, *October 11th 2010*, 8:34 PM WASHINGTON - The terror group tied to the Ft. Hood<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Fort+Hood>killings and the Christmas Day undies airbomber urge wannabe American jihadis to open fire on crowded restaurants in the nation's capital to massacre U.S. <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/United+States> government workers. The advice appears in "Inspire," the latest issue of a slick propaganda publication by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Al+Qaeda+in+the+Arabian+Peninsula>, Osama Bin Laden <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Osama+bin+Laden>'s franchise in Yemen <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Yemen>. "A random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington, D.C.<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Washington%2c+DC>, at lunch hour might end up knocking out a few government employees," Yahya Ibrahim <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Yahya+Ibrahim> writes in the 74-page jihadi how-to magazine. "Targeting such employees is paramount and the location would also give the operation additional media attention," Ibrahim added. Other trash talk came from "Samir Khan<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Samir+Khan>," an American who came to AQAP from North Carolina<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/North+Carolina>, who produces the publication and wrote that he is "proud to be a traitor in America's eyes." "This guy is bad news, and given the fact that he helps publish AQAP trash, he certainly spreads a lot of it around, too," said a senior U.S. official. According to a copy of the magazine obtained by the SITE intelligence group, AQAP also urged those bent on murdering for Islam to use everything from pickup trucks to improvised pressure-cooker bombs to kill. The trucks can be fashioned into "the ultimate mowing machine," with steel blades welded to the grill to "mow down the enemies of Allah" by running down Americans on crowded sidewalks "to achieve maximum carnage" in a "martyrdom operation." "This method has not been used before," advises AQAP in its "Tips for our brothers in the U.S." Ibrahim praised the killings of a dozen victims at the U.S. Army<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/U.S.+Army>post in Texas <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Texas> allegedly committed by accused homegrown terrorist Maj. Nidal Hasan<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Nidal+Malik+Hasan>, who was in contact with and inspired by U.S.-born AQAP cleric Anwar al-Awlaki <http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Anwar+al-Awlaki>. In 1993, Pakistani killer Mir Aimal Kasi opened fire on CIA<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Central+Intelligence+Agency>employees at a stoplight, who were targeted because their cars were in a turn lane for the agency's Virginia<http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Virginia>headquarters. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
