The member on Friday provided to The Associated Press a statement in English saying “the leadership of AQAP directed the operations and they have chosen their target carefully.”
He says the attack was in line with warnings from the late al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden to the West about “the consequences of the persistence in the blasphemy against Muslim sanctities”
He said the group has delayed its declaration of responsibility for “security reasons.”
He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the group’s regulations.
