NEW YORK (BNO NEWS) — Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula on Sunday said it is planning to carry out smaller but more frequent attacks against the United States, while releasing more details about its failed attempt to down two U.S. cargo planes.

The terrorist organization released the details in a magazine obtained by BNO News, in which it openly discussed its strategy. “To bring down America we do not need to strike big,” it said. “In such an environment of security phobia that is sweeping America, it is more feasible to stage smaller attacks that involve less players and less time to launch and thus we may circumvent the security barriers America worked so hard to erect.”

The al-Qaeda affiliate said its strategy to carry out smaller but more frequent attacks could be referred to as ‘the strategy of a thousand cuts.’ “The aim is to bleed the enemy to death,” it added.

The organization also released a photograph of a book and two photographs of an HP printer which it had used in October in an attempt to down two U.S.-bound cargo planes with PETN explosives.

“Two Nokia mobiles, $150 each, two HP printers, $300 each, plus shipping, transportation and other miscellaneous expenses add up to a total bill of $4,200,” al-Qaeda said, dubbing the plot ‘Operation Hemorrhage.’ It said it took the organization six people and three months to plan and execute the operation.
