On April 4, 2011, Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula’s (AQAP) Al-Malahem Media released the fifth issue of its magazine "Peninsula Martyrs," which profiles dead AQAP members. This issue highlighted the life of Jamil al-Anbari (aka Abu Saber al-Abyani), the “commander of Abyan-Aden emirate and a number of other regions” who was killed in a March 2010 airstrike in Yemen. According to AQAP, “In his last letter to Shaykh Abu Baseer, a few days before his martyrdom, he had begun asking for permission to execute a martyrdom operation against the enemies of Allah. And after lengthy waiting and yearning to meet Allah, his date with martyrdom arrived, and that was in an American air strike when he was using the Internet, as then he had been following up with some preparations and personal communication. He was killed and with him his brother Fawwaz al-Sanaani, may Allah accept both of them.”
