A propaganda video released by Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula shows that the terror group uses Google Maps to plan attacks, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
The Middle East Media Monitoring Institute said that the propaganda video “documents the training, planning, and execution of a series of operations targeting security forces, checkpoints, and military bases in multiple locations using different tactics including martyrdom operations, commando raids, shelling, shootings, and assassinations,” the Free Beacon reported.
"In the planning of one operation, an AQAP commander used a tablet computer and Google Maps," the institute’s report said.
The video honors "dozens of martyred" members of the AQAP group and praised fighters in the Abyan province of Yemen for "implementing sharia laws, promoting virtue, preventing vice, and securing the city," the monitoring institute’s report said.
The media arm of the Arabian Peninsula group released the video, which included former Guantanamo Bay detainee Ibrahim Al-Qusi, who spent more than ten years in the facility before being released to Sudan in 2012, the report said.
Al-Qusi once served as cook, chauffeur and bookkeeper for Osama Bin Laden. Since he was released to Sudan, he has returned to the battlefield, Fox News reported Monday.
