Al-Qaeda affirmed today, Sunday, the killing of its leader in Yemen, Qasim Al-Rimi, whom the United States announced killed earlier this month.
The website, which is interested in monitoring and monitoring the movements and statements of terrorist groups on the Internet, said today, Sunday, that Al-Qaeda confirmed the killing of its leader in the Arabian Peninsula, Qasim Al-Rimi.
US President Donald Trump announced earlier this month that the United States had killed Al-Rimi in an anti-terrorist operation in Yemen.
Trump said in a statement released by the White House that the United States "conducted an anti-terrorist operation in Yemen that succeeded in eliminating Qassim al-Rimi, one of the founders and leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula."
He added, "Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, under the leadership of Al-Rimi, practiced a tremendous amount of violence against civilians in Yemen and sought to execute and instruct several attacks against the United States and our forces."
The United States sees the Al Qaeda branch in the Arabian Peninsula as the most dangerous branch of the organization founded by Osama bin Laden.
