Interpretations

Abdallah Azzam brigade is dangerous foreign terrorist organization which has been responsible of various attacks in the Middle East peninsula. It is believed that it has a very strong background with unknown number of members and unknown funding. Earlier in 2010, the group claimed responsibility of the bombing of a Japanese Oil Tanker; along the Strait between the Oman and Saudi Arabia. In 2011, the organization was also linked to the Damascus bombings which targeted Assad’s security headquarters. However the organization denied involvement claiming that none of the mujahedeen organizations are linked to sinful and sinister bombings, and that the accusations are falsification and lies. It has however publicly come in the support of Syrian rebels through attacks on the government forces.
In the recent past, the organization has also been linked with several rocket fires targeting Israel with a majority directed against people living in the eastern and western Galilee. According to the US department of state; the Abdallah Azzam brigade is responsible for the frequent undiscerning rocket attacks on Israeli citizens from the Lebanese regions. The state department has also linked the organization to various rocket attacks which have been fired into Israel from Gaza.

Bottom line

In conclusion, the Abdullah Azzam brigade is a global terrorist organization which has the potential of undertaking devastating terrorist activities against any western nation or its interests or people working in the Middle East and has links with Al Qaeda; another terrorist group which target the West. If its objectives are allowed to sail through, it would cost a lot, thus the organization should be dealt with full force.
