A Yemen-based affiliate of Usama bin Laden's Al Qaida (AQ) network, Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) announced its formation in January 2009. Its primary objectives are to cleanse the Arabian Peninsula of foreign influence – particularly Western military personnel and civilian contractors – and to establish a single Islamic caliphate in place of the existing regimes in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. AQAP's most prominent attacks have been suicide bombings; however, the group has also engaged in guerilla-style raids on military and security targets. It is also responsible for the failed December 25, 2009, attempt to detonate an explosive abroad a Northwest Airlines flight as the plane prepared to land in Detroit, and the 2015 attack on the office of the magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France. In February 2020, AQAP released a video claiming responsibility for a December 2019 attack where a Royal Saudi Air Force trainee opened fire in a classroom at the US Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, killing at least three US sailors and injuring eight others. In February 2022, AQAP militants kidnapped five UN workers that were released in August 2023 after a ransom was paid to AQAP.
