The following is the 57th edition of the MEMRI Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM) Weekly Digest. It includes exclusive reports and items from the past week on jihadist websites.
THE WEEK IN JIHAD
This week in jihad was marked by the release of the third issue of Inspire magazine.
On November 20, 2010, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) published a special issue of its English-language magazine Inspire, dedicated in its entirety to the plot to bomb UPS and FEDEX cargo planes using booby-trapped parcels, which AQAP has dubbed "Operation Hemorrhage." In the issue, AQAP threatens to step up its efforts to target Western airlines and bomb planes, including passenger flights, and to spread the expertise it has gained in this area to other jihad groups. The fundamental theme that reoccurs in the issue is that the parcel-bomb plot was a success because it cost AQAP very little but caused severe economic damage to the West.
