A new audio recording released by al-Qaida’s As-Sahab Islamic Media Foundation suggests the terror group may have been suffering from financial difficulties.
In the recording, Mustafa al-Yazid, the group’s No. 3 until his killing by a suspected CIA drone a few weeks ago, complained about fundraising shortfalls in the terrorist group and called for more donations from its supporter base.
Al-Yazid, who al-Qaida described as its top commander in Afghanistan, was killed along with his wife, three daughters, a grandchild and other men, women and children, al-Qaida announced on a website linked to the group two weeks ago.
