Al-Qaida Magazine “Resurgence” Calls for Terrorist Attacks on Oil Tankers The article's author, al-Qaida spokesman Adam YahiyeGadahn, a US national from California, says mujahideen should aim to "paralyse international trade for the enemy states or at the very east increase its costs, by targeting their cargo ships and merchant marines". "Any of their ships are legitimate targets," the article reads. Gadahn also urges jihadists to sabotage Western-run oil wells and mines in Muslim countries and "destroying pipelines before oil reaches the coast." The Threat Beyond Piracy
