In a May 13, 2012 statement, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban) asserted that its ‘Al-Farooq’ spring offensive, launched earlier this month, has successfully “inflicted considerable damage to [United States forces and the Karzai government]…across the country especially in the capital Kabul.” In the statement, the Taliban took credit for forcing “the coward father of the crusaders and Zionists [President] Obama” to “flee our homeland” following an attack in Kabul during the American President’s recent visit. The Taliban also claimed to have fully “infiltrated the ranks of the army and the police and are impatiently waiting for their opportunity to kill as many crusaders as possible.”

On May 9, 2012, Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a “statement mourning the martyrdom of Shaykh Fahd Al-Quso Al-Awlaqi,” an AQAP commander who was killed in a recent US drone strike. The AQAP statement commended Al-Quso’s “selfless” role in the bombing of the USS Cole which the statement claimed will serve as a “lesson” to the U.S. “every time its fighting warships pass through the Gulf of Aden.” Citing previous American drone strikes targeting al-Awlaqi family members, the statement accused the U.S. of holding a “crusader hidden grudge” against the “defiant and sacrificial tribe,” but claimed that the “war between [the US and AQAP] is not over.”

On May 9, 2012, Al-Qaida’s As-Sahab Media Foundation released a message from Al-Qaida leader Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri in which he called upon Afghans and the greater global Muslim community to fight NATO forces in Afghanistan in response to the burning of Qur’ans in Kabul. In the statement, Zawahiri referred to past, alleged offenses carried out by U.S. forces, including an incident involving the desecration of the Qur’an at Guantanamo Bay. He went on to call the investigation into the incident in Kabul, initiated by the Obama administration and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, a “silly mockery.” Further, Zawahiri encouraged Muslims to support the Taliban, calling on them to “fight under the banner of the Islamic Emirate under the leadership of the Amir of Believers Mulla Muhammad Omar.” Zawahiri also painted an optimistic picture of the Taliban’s campaign in Afghanistan.
