Al-Qaedas second-ranking leader has vowed in a new video message to kill more Westerners to avenge crimes against Muslims,a US group that monitors Islamist websites said today.
Ayman al-Zawahiri dedicated his new video message,released yesterday,to Al-Qaeda operative Sheikh Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi,who died in a Libyan prison earlier this year,according to US-based IntelCenter.
The United States is deceiving us with the smiling Obama,who is searching for peace and defending human rights, Zawahiri said of US President Barack Obama,IntelCenter said.
He said Al-Qaeda will study the circumstances of Libis death and went on to threaten the West with new attacks.
Oh criminal killers,bloodsuckers, Zawahiri is quoted as saying. We will shed your blood and consume your economy until you stop your crimes,oh arrogant insolents.
Oh blood shedders,killers of innocent people, he continued.
God willing,we will take revenge on you for every mujahid,every widow,every orphan,and every Muslim,and we will defend everyone you oppressed in this world.
With the help of God,we will talk to you in the language that you understand until you refrain from and stop your crimes. The video was released by Al-Qaedas as-Sahab production company,according to IntelCenter.
