AQAP confirms death of leader Qassim al-Rimi

 [Al Jazeera] al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000...
(AQAP) has confirmed the death of its leader Qassim al-Rimi, according to a monitor, weeks after the United States said it had killed him in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors gang networks worldwide, said on Sunday that the announcement was made in an audio speech delivered by AQAP religious official Hamid bin Hamoud al-Tamimi.
In his speech, al-Tamimi also said that Khalid bin Umar Batarfi was AQAP's new leader, the monitor added.
SITE said that Batarfi has appeared in many AQAP videos over the last several years and appeared to be al-Rimi's deputy and the group's front man.
US President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
announced earlier this month that his country had killed al-Rimi in an operation inside Yemen.
"Under Rimi, AQAP committed unconscionable violence against civilians in Yemen and sought to conduct and inspire numerous attacks against the United States and our forces," Trump said at the time.
"His death further degrades AQAP and the global al-Qaeda movement, and it brings us closer to eliminating the threats these groups pose to our national security."
