Al-Qaeda members in Yemen

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) on Wednesday released a video calling for lone wolf attacks in the U.S., France and other `disbeliever’ nations.

A group monitoring the jihadists’ activities, SITE Intelligence, said in Washington that the video praised the alleged gunman in an attack in July.

The attack which took place in the southern state of Tennessee, killed four U.S. Marines and one Navy sailor.

The SITE Intelligence quoted AQAP official, Khalid-bin Batarfi, who spoke in the nine-minute video, as condemning America, France and other `disbeliever’ nations.

It said Batarfi was freed in April from a Yemeni prison.

“As you put limits to freedom of expression and punish whoever goes against them, it is upon us to punish whoever transgresses our boundaries and sanctities’”, the terrorist was quoted as saying.
