Issue V of 'Inspire,' the English-Language Magazine of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula – A General Review By: Steven Stalinsky* memri.org "Inspire Responses – Responding to Inquiries;" Encourages Western Jihadists to Attack Night Clubs and Shopping Malls As noted in the MEMRI analysis of the fourth issue of Inspire, dated Winter 2011, each issue of the magazine includes information for readers on how to submit questions. This section in Inspire V addresses a question emailed in by an anonymous Muslim living in the West, who asks for AQAP's guidance regarding the best way to join the jihad and reach the jihad frontiers. In reply, the AQAP representative recommends that the inquirer carry out a personal jihad mission with a lone wolf attack in a crowded area in his country in the West, rather than attempt to reach a jihad front; it notes that this method has proven to be the most successful for jihadists living in the West. The AQAP representative states: "[T]he mujahideen leadership [is] today asking the brothers in the West specifically to attack Western interests in the West instead of coming here to Yemen, for example…[Many of] the foreign brothers [who] join the mujahideen…conclude that it would have been better for them to return to the West and launch operations. This is because killing 10 soldiers in America, for example, is much more effective than killing 100 apostates in the Yemeni military." He continues: "With lone operations, however, as long as you keep it to yourself, nobody in the world would know what you're thinking and planning. That's why individuals like Taimour [Al-'Abdaly, the Stockholm bomber], Roshonara [Choudhary, a British citizen who stabbed an MP], Nidal [Hassan, the Fort Hood shooter] and others have been successful, even if they were ultimately arrested. The fact that they were able to pull off their operations without being halted by authorities is a great success."
