Yemeni al-Qaeda leader warns Americans on security
None
The military leader of al-Qaeda's Yemeni branch says Americans will not be safe unless their leaders respect the security of other nations and do not attack or oppress them.
In a message addressed "to the American nation," Qassim al-Rimi, commander of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, said: "your security is not achieved by despoiling other nations' security or by attacking and oppressing them." The six-minute English-subtitled audio, posted on a militant website late Saturday, implored Americans to "leave us with our religion, land and nations and mind your own internal affairs." (AP)
