The Al Qaeda magazine, Inspire, is urging "lone wolf" attacks on high profile economic leaders in the U.S., including "Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett."

The list in Inspire magazine also included industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch, internet entrepreneur Larry Ellison, and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. A prominent economist was also on the list but asked that his name be withheld. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke was named, though not Janet Yellen, who succeeded him.

The article includes a photo illustration that shows "blood-spattered pictures of several of the leaders next to a dripping gun. Its stated goal is to derail the 'revival of the America Economy.'"

The article says the "economic personalities" and "wealthy entrepreneurs" can get off the list by withdrawing their money from U.S. banks, investing their wealth outside American soil, and denouncing support for Israel.

NBC's counter-terrorism analyst, Evan Kohlmann of Flashpoint Intelligence says the content of the magazine is "aspirational."

"There is compelling evidence from the Boston Marathon bombings and other various thwarted terror plots that homegrown jihadists have specifically looked to the magazine for guidance on what targets to attack — and have taken that advice quite literally," he said.

Maybe the advice is not as "aspirational" as the experts like to think.
