Al-Quds Al-Arabi (Arabic: القدس العربی), (English: "Arab Jerusalem") is an independent pan-Arab daily newspaper published in London since 1989. The paper is owned by Palestinian expatriates, and edited by Abd al-Bari Atwan who was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Gaza Strip in 1950. Due to its strong criticism of the Arab regimes and their perceived "obedience" to the U.S. & Israel, the paper has been censored and sometimes temporarily banned in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. It has a circulation of around 50,000.
This newspaper was the first, or among the first, to publish a number of communiqués threatening, and taking responsibility for, Islamist and terrorist violence. Those include the fatāwā of Osama bin Laden and several statements from the person or people who sign themselves the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades.
