“Is this the best that al Qaeda in Yemen can do?”
Unfortunately that’s all they have to do. They’ve successfully communicated their message: anti-freedom, anti-Jew. Their target audience and sympathizers are paying attention. The next attack, when it happens, will gather more sympathizers to their cause.
Let’s not forget that a large part of their goal is to get the non-Muslim population of Western countries to isolate and alienate their Muslim countrymen, and in that they have the eager assistance of racists and bigots in those countries.
