Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula vows to United States "war between us is not over"
Al Qaeda figure Fahd al-Quso was killed, along with an aide, in an airstrike in southern Yemen May 6, 2012.
/ CBS/APThe group, known as AQAP, made the comments in a statement dated Wednesday, a day before airstrikes in Yemen killed at least seven Qaeda militants, including the group's senior armament member, known as al-Galadi, according to The Associated Press.
The statement was the group's first since the killing of Fahd al-Quso, the terror network's senior operations leader who was linked to the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. Al-Quso was killed in an airstrike Sunday in Yemen. The statement doesn't mention the Saudi mole or the upgraded underwear bomb that was revealed this week that the mole provided to the United States.

A translation of the AQAP statement shows that the group appears to make reference to a quote al-Quso reportedly gave a Yemeni reporter in February: "The war didn't end between us and our enemies. Wait for what is coming."
In Wednesday's statement, the group says: "And to America: We remind you with what our Shaykh Fahd Al-Quso, may Allah have mercy on him: 'War between us is not over and the days are pregnant.'"
CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reported that the Saudi mole also provided the United States with information on al-Quso's whereabouts.

- It is good that the demon Shaykh Fahd Al Quso, may Lucifer have his way with him, is no longer on this earth. May the B-52's find the lair of those who want to make war with the US and cause them to shudder in fear.

- As long as Americans refuses to go into their traps, those fake Al Qaeda will come into our traps automatically. The most important thing Americans need to do is tightly check who are really inside Pentagon and CIA and track clearly where are the money.
