AQAP: Down But Not Out
In this episode of the “Arab Digest Podcast,” Elisabeth Kendall looks at the threat that groups like al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula pose.
Arab Digest editor William Law is joined by Dr. Elisabeth Kendall, a senior research fellow in Arabic and Islamic studies at Oxford University’s Pembroke College.
Though drone strikes have seen al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) severely degraded, the ongoing Yemeni War and the Taliban victory in Afghanistan reinforce the lethal threat that jihadist terrorism continues to pose to the region and to the West from its base in Yemen.
