Al Qaeda Source: AQAP Directed Paris Attack
By Jeremy Scahill - 09 Jan 2015
...Sheikh Usama (RA) said in his message to the West: If there is no check on the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions...
The source, who demanded anonymity because the group had not yet released an official statement, also told The Intercept that two images in the latest issue of its publication, Inspire, published in December, contained a clue foreshadowing the attack on Charlie Hebdo. One image (at right, click to enlarge) shows a Muslim kneeling in prayer with a cooking pot similar to the one used by the Boston marathon bombers. If you have the knowledge and inspiration all thats left is to take action. On the page immediately below it is a picture of a French passport. Throughout the day, several AQAP members have been praising the attack on social media and discussion sites. An AQAP source pointed The Intercept to a recording they claim is Cherif Kouachi, one of the suspects, acknowledging that his trips to Yemen in 2011 were financed by U.S.-born radical imam Anwar al Awlaki and that he was sent to Yemen by AQAP...
The Charlie magazine team deserved what they got. Many warnings have been given before, but they were persistent. They had the freedom to use cartoons in their magazine, and we have the freedom to use bullets from our magazines. As the Wanted List stated: A bullet a day, keeps the kaffir away. Yes, Charb is no more. The lions of Jihad have stood. The followers of Muhammad peace be upon him have never forgotten. As Sheikh Anwar Rahimahullah put it: The Dust Will Never Settle Down.
Do not look for links or affiliation with Jihadi fronts. It is enough they are Muslims. They are Mujahideen. This is the Jihad of the Ummah. So France, are you ready for more attacks; Werent you asked by Inspire Magazine immediately after the Wanted List...

There is a false equivalency by AQ on some cases there. And grievances about actions and not words. They appear to let neocons off the hook, though.

OP
The leader of Hamas condemned the attacks, condemned the attackers as usurpers of Islam.

How important is a 'Premier.' Is he like a Senator compared to the President?

So he's an important figure over there, I guess. I still haven't grasped why they need a prez and PM
