Ex-Guantanamo Detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, Known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani, Now an al Qaeda Leader in Yemen

 

GEE, THANKS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA …

Courtesy of Barack Hussein Obama and his catch and release program from GITMO comes the following report via Long War Journal of a former Guantanamo detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, who is also known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani. This former Guantanamo detainee, who was released in 2012 is now an al Qaeda leader in Yemen. Isn’t that special. Thanks Barack. Hmm, wasn’t it Barack Obama’s premise that GITMO was used as a recruiting tool by terrorists? It would more seem that Obama’s rush to close GITMO and send terrorists back to their countries of origin is more of a recruiting tool.

Hey America, How’s that Obama “hopey, changey” stuff of letting terrorists out of GITMO working out for you America?

Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a new video featuring a former Guantanamo detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, who is also known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani.

In July 2010, Qosi plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support for terrorism before a military commission. His plea was part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors during his remaining time in US custody. Qosi was transferred to his home country of Sudan two years later, in July 2012.

I can’t believe they reelected me, what a bunch of fools …

Qosi joined AQAP in 2014 and became one of its leaders. Qosi and other AQAP commanders discussed their time waging jihad at length in the video, entitled “Guardians of Sharia.”

Islamic scholars ensure the “correctness” of the “jihadist project,” according to Qosi. And the war against America continues through “individual jihad,” which al Qaeda encourages from abroad.Here, Qosi referred to al Qaeda’s policy of encouraging attacks by individual adherents and smaller terror cells. Indeed, AQAP’s video celebrates jihadists who have acted in accordance with this call, such as the Kouachi brothers, who struck Charlie Hebdo’s offices in Paris earlier this year. The Kouachi brothers’ operation was sponsored by AQAP.

UPDATE I: Prophecy realized: Ex-Gitmo detainee, UBL aide resurfaces on battlefield in Yemen

A hardened Al Qaeda fighter who served as Usama bin Laden’s jack-of-all-trades before spending a decade at Guantanamo Bay made a military prosecutor’s prophecy come true when he resurfaced on the field of battle in Yemen, where he is one of the terror group’s top leaders.

Ibrahim al-Qosi, a Sudanese native who once served as Usama bin Laden’s cook, chauffeur and bookkeeper, appears in the latest video released this week by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), some three years after he was released from the U.S. military facility. The 55-year-old Al-Qosi is one of the Al Qaeda chapter’s top men, according to the Foundation For Defense of Democracies’ Long War Journal blog.

“One of the main reasons the United States was willing to return him to Sudan was the U.S. confidence in the government of Sudan’s program and its confidence that Mr. al-Qosi would not represent any kind of threat to the United States,” his attorney, Paul Reichler, said in July, 2012, when Al-Qosi was freed. “If they had considered him a threat, they would not have released him.”

      Just goes to show that torture creates more terrorists.
