Las Vegas YouTuber and Wife Shot Dead During Live Stream

Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, head of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), issued a chilling call for the assassination of prominent American figures, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and tech billionaire Elon Musk, according to US intelligence sources. In a 34-minute propaganda video titled "Inciting the Believers," al-Awlaki cited their pro-Israel positions as justification for revenge amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Al-Awlaki urged Muslims in the US to carry out violent acts with no "red lines" against American targets, declaring, “Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans.” He also incited violence against Jews, saying, “Do not leave a single safe place for Jews,” a statement echoing rising antisemitic sentiments.
AQAP, considered one of the most dangerous affiliates of the broader al-Qaida network, has garnered international attention for prior terror plots, including the notorious 2009 "underwear bomber" incident. The US State Department continues to classify AQAP as a foreign terrorist organization and is closely monitoring the latest threats.
