Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) leader Sheikh Nasr al-Ansi has claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks which claimed 17 lives last week. He also specifically claimed responsibility for financing the operation:
“The one who chose the target, laid plan and finance the operation is leadership of Al Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula,” the commander of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) said in a video message. “We claim responsibility for this operation as a vengeance for the Messenger of Allah.”
