Al-Qaeda Leader Calls For Jihad On US Soil, Assassination Of Trump, VP Vance, Elon Musk, Others
The US State Department had issued a $6 million bounty on the terror leader earlier.
The leader of a heinous Islamist terror group, al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has called for President Donald Trump and scores of his top advisers to be assassinated as revenge for their pro-Israel stances, a video published on X and seen by Ekwutosblog has shown.
Simon Ateba, Chief White House Correspondent and Founder of “The Daily Letter”, posted the video on his X handle on Tuesday.
“We call on all Muslims in America and it does not matter whether they are of American or Arab origin, or of other descent; what matters is that their prophet should be Muhammad and 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 determination, and your targets should be effective.
“Go after the scum of the earth and its greatest criminals. That is Trump and his Vice President, JD Vance and his advisors in terms of administration, finance and technology, Elon Musk.
“Go after their families or anyone close to politicians of the White House.”
The US State Department had issued a $6 million bounty on the terror leader earlier.
Sa’ad bin also praised suspects who have carried out a spate of recent antisemitic terror attacks, as well as those behind the prior assassination attempts on Trump.
This development comes amid several claims by the Trump administration that there are heightened threats of terrorism against the United States.
Recently, he banned citizens of 12 countries from entering the US.
The US has prominently supported Israel in its fight against Hamas, which has been said to have led to a humanitarian crisis and the killing of civilians in Gaza.
In July 2024, then-Republican presidential candidate Trump was injured in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally.
He was dramatically escorted off stage by U.S. Secret Service agents after gunshots rang out in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Trump campaign said in a statement that Trump was “fine” and that he was “being checked out at a local medical facility.”
In September 2024, Trump was the target of another apparent assassination attempt—his second in two months.
The attack occurred in Florida. According to the FBI, along with Trump’s campaign and law enforcement, the former president was safe and unharmed.
The U.S. Secret Service confirmed that one or more of its agents “opened fire on a gunman” located near the boundary of Trump’s golf course and that an “AK-47-style rifle” with a scope was recovered, along with a GoPro video camera.
Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki made this call, as he encouraged Muslims in the US to “take revenge.”

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), Abba Aliyu, has said Nigeria is the second country in the world with the highest number of people living without access to electricity.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Monday, Aliyu explained that only India has more people without power supply than Nigeria.
He however stressed that the current administration has put in place a structured plan to address what he called electricity poverty.
“I recently came across a post by The Economist which showed that only India has more people without electricity access than Nigeria. But unlike many other countries, Nigeria now has a well-structured plan to address this challenge,” he said.
Aliyu noted that the REA does not operate on the national grid but focuses on off-grid and underserved communities.
“If you have a problem with your Disco, that’s not within our mandate. Our focus is on communities without access to electricity,” he clarified.
Highlighting the agency’s ongoing projects, the REA boss pointed to the Distributed Access to Renewable Energy Scale (DARES) initiative, describing it as the largest public renewable energy project in the world.
According to him, the $750 million programme aims to deliver electricity to 17.5 million Nigerians who currently live without power.
