Al Qaeda Arabia chief pledges war on western crusaders

In a rare video appearance Wednesday, the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula *AQAP) chief Nasser al-Wuhayshi pledged to pursue the war against Western “crusaders” everywhere possible. In Canberra, Australian Prime Minister John Key reported that a New Zealander with terrorism links known as “Muslim bin John” and an Australian were killed in a US drone strike in Yemen last year.
