Al Qaeda fanatics CELEBRATE Donald Trump’s election victory – with top terror chief claiming the new US President will bring about new World War
A prominent jihadist called it an 'important first step' towards global jihad
AN AL-QAEDA warlord has tweeted his delight at the election of Donald Trump as president of the US on Wednesday.
Abdallah al-Muhaysini is one of the leaders of the al-Nusrah Front - an al-Qaeda's affiliated group fighting on numerous fronts in Syria.
In a series of tweets, translated by, the top terror thug called Trump's shock election win the "first step toward victory" for the jihadists.
He wrote: "This is good... Obama depended on the idea of zeroing in on the battles and targeting the headquarters, and Trump depends on gaining from the wars and countries based on the principle... the victory of Trump may be an initiative towards bloody battles and a huge mess."
Obama depends on the harmonisation and the containment in America's internal affairs.
"Trump depends on the exclusion and the abolition of his violators... May Allah increase their separation."
In April the Saudi terror preacher, described by the Long War Journal as one of the most influential jihadists in Syria, launched a new recruiting campaign to indoctrinate thousands of young men to his vile cause. One of the first propaganda videos released for the campaign, dubbed 'Take Up Arms, Do Not Sit Still' shows him speaking to a large crowd at a refugee camp.
Nusra Front said in July it was breaking ties with al Qaeda and changing its name to Jabhat Fatah al Sham in an effort to deny the United States and Russia a pretext to attack it. But Washington has not recognised the change.
The Treasury said in a statement it was imposing sanctions on four Nusra Front leaders, including al-Muhaysini.
He is not the only tyrant happy about Trump's success.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his allies hope to benefit from the billionaire's election win, believing it has saved them from the risks of an interventionist Clinton administration.
Trump's win may have already shifted the course of the Russian-backed military campaign in Aleppo. A senior pro-Assad official told Reuters that plans to capture the rebel-held east by January were shaped around an assumption Clinton would win.
The confidence in Damascus will have been justified if some of Trump's comments on Syria crystallize into policy, though there are questions over how far he will follow through on suggestions such as cooperating with Russia - President Bashar al-Assad's most powerful military ally - against Islamic State.
