Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newly anointed leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has issued a chilling call to arms targeting the President of the United States, Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other top administration officials, including Elon Musk and Cabinet members.
The Islamic terrorist, already wanted by the U.S. government with a $6 million bounty on his head, released a 34-minute video on Sunday, filled with explicit threats and calls for bloodshed inside the United States, the New York Post reported.
Al-Awlaki, speaking in Arabic but quickly translated and circulated on social media, issued a direct incitement to domestic terror by calling on the estimated 4.5 million Muslims living in America to carry out lone wolf-style assassinations in the name of “revenge.”
Al-Awlaki: As a first practical and immediate measure, I call upon every Muslim in the infidel, criminal, and arrogant United States. It does not matter if they are of Arab, American, or other descent—what matters is that they are Muslim, and their prophet is Mohammed.
There are 4.5 million Muslims in America alone. I am saying to all of them: Revenge! Revenge! Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans. You should have a lot of determination, and the list of your targets should be effective.
Go after the scum of the Earth and its greatest criminals. This is Trump and his VP. This is Elon Musk and his advisors, or any supporter in terms of finance, administration, and technology. These include his Secretary of State and his Secretary of Defense.
Go after their families and all those who have any ties to, or are close to, the politicians of the White House.

More from The New York Post:
Elsewhere, al-Awlaki — for whom the US State Department has issued a $6 million bounty — praised suspects who have carried out a spate of recent antisemitic terror attacks, as well as those behind the prior assassination attempts on Trump.
In the 34-minute video — titled “Inciting the Believers” — the terror leader also called for “strikes” on all Jews.
“Do not leave a single safe place for Jews — just as they have not left any homes, shelters, or respite for the Palestinians,” he said.
“Even hospitals are being bombed over the heads of the sick and wounded, and the heads of the women, children and the elderly. Take revenge.”
AQAP has long been designated a foreign terrorist group by the US.
