‘Derail trains!’ Al Qaeda releases manual urging lone wolves to target Europe's railways
Al Qaeda have released a manual on how to derail trains
The instructions, to be published in the next issue of Inspire, advise individuals to attack railroads in Western countries "using easily accessible materials”.
Followers can directly target the train from “either inside or from outside” or target “the rail itself so as to derail the train”.
Or supporters of the terror group can target train stations, which “are always crowded and cause major interruption towards the transportation system".
The magazine's 17th issue is headlined 'Train Derail Operations' and spells out ways to create disasters on the railways - a transportation system that lacks the heightened security levels of airline travel.
