Islamist terror leader calls for assassinations of Trump, JD Vance over pro-Israel views in disturbing video: ‘Take revenge'
The leader of a heinous Islamist terror group has called for President Trump and scores of his top advisors to be assassinated as revenge for their pro-Israel stances, The Post has learned.
Sa'ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newest leader of al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) group, issued the disturbing call in a propaganda video released on Sunday — as he encouraged Muslims in the US to 'take revenge,' sources confirmed.

'Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans,' he said in the sick clip.
'Go after the scum of the earth and its greatest criminals. These are Trump and his vice president [JD Vance], his advisor and his supporters in terms of finance, administration, and technology.'
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and even Elon Musk were among the advisors named, sources said.
'Go after them and their families and all those who have any ties or are close to the politicians of the White House. There are no red lines after all that has been happening to our people in Gaza.'
Elsewhere, al-Awlaki — who the US State Department has issued a $6 million bounty for — praised suspects who have carried out a spate of recent antisemitic terror attacks, as well as those behind the prior assassinations attempts on Trump's life.

In the 34-minute video — titled 'Inciting the Believers' — the terror leader called, too, for 'strikes' on all Jews.
'Do not leave a single safe place for Jews — just as they have not left any homes, shelters, or respite for the Palestinians,' he said.
'Even hospitals are being bombed over the heads of the sick and wounded, and the heads of the women, children and the elderly. Take revenge.'
AQAP has long been designated a foreign terrorist group by the US.
Al-Awlaki, who took over as leader of the Yemen-based group in March 2024, has the $6 million bounty on his head for previously calling for attacks against the US.
