The Dusit attack was a revenge to President Trump

A report has been released following the dusit attack on Tuesday.

According to the militia group Al Shabaab, the attack was a form of revenge following President Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The SITE Intelligence Group, an NGO that specialises in tracking and analysing global extremist groups, said the jihadists presented a detailed report on the attack through its media unit al-Mujahideen Movement.

Not much was revealed but it is been reported that the al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri ordered the attack.

The report said Zawahiri directed the militants to target “Western and Zionist” interests in response to Trump’s announcement.

The control of Jerusalem by the Israelis and Palestines began way back in the 20th century.It has been referred to as the world’s “most intractable conflict”. Israel has occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip for 52 years.

By Trump recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, he insinuated that Israel had sovereignty over the disputed city.

President Trump announced the US’ recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on December 6, 2017 hence ordering the relocation of  the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem a decision that was welcomed by the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
