AQAP Chief Targets Trump and Top Officials in New Assassination Call

  • Saad al-Awlaki, who assumed command of al-Qaida’s faction in Yemen last year, issued a video threat targeting Donald Trump and Elon Musk on June 7, 2025.
  • Al-Awlaki urged individuals acting alone to carry out assassinations targeting officials in Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf Arab countries in response to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
  • The 30-minute video was spread online by AQAP supporters and included images of U.S. officials, highlighting al-Awlaki’s first public message since leading the group in 2024.
  • He declared that no boundaries remain following the events affecting Palestinians in Gaza, while AQAP is believed to have between 3,000 and 4,000 members, and a $6 million U.S. bounty is currently placed on al-Awlaki.
  • The threat underscores AQAP’s ongoing activity despite weakening from drone strikes and infighting, and signals its intent to challenge the Houthis’ prominence amid Yemen’s complex conflict.
