Al Qaeda magazine calls for lone wolf attacks on U.S. economic leaders

Al Qaeda's English-language magazine Inspire is calling for jihadis to carry out lone wolf attacks against American business leaders and entrepreneurs in their homes.

These assassinations are highlighted in the magazine as crucial in undermining the United States economy.

Inspire Editor-in-Chief Yahya Ibrahim opens the magazine's May 14 edition by saying "assassination is an effective tool in warfare," and notes that the "prophet ordered the killing of many criminal leaders using this method... And here we are, following the footsteps of the prophet on how he dealt with his enemies and friends."

In Inspire is a list of "economic personalities," whom Ibrahim says should be targeted for their investment of their "massive wealth in America and depositing them [sic] in its banks."

The magazine also calls for radical Islamic terrorists emulate the wave of Palestinians stabbing of Israeli's in recent months by walking up to Americans and stabbing them.
