Watch: Al Qaeda Leader Al-Zawahiri Calls For New 9/11 Style Attacks And Cooperation With Islamic State
Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri released a new 16-minute audio message on Sunday evening in which he called for new 9/11 style attacks against the United States and hailed the knife jihad that currently is rocking Israel. The message was titled “We Shall Unite To Liberate Jerusalem.”
The Lebanese news site Ya Libnan was the first to report on Zawahiri’s new audio message to Muslims all over the world. Zawahiri explained that the U.S. should pay for its support for Israel.
“Those who support Israel should pay in their blood and economy the price for supporting the crimes of Israel against Islam and Muslims,” Al-Zawahiri exclaimed while he urged his followers to follow the path of the terrorists who carried out the attacks on the U.S. on September 11, 2001, and those who carried out the attacks in Madrid, Bali, London and Paris.
The Al Qaeda leader called upon Muslims everywhere to unite and to establish a Caliphate in the Levant (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Israel) and an Islamic state in Egypt. Muslims must liberate “Palestine” and face “American-European-Russian-Shiite-Alawite aggression, and stand in one line, from East Turkestan to Morocco, against the satanic alliance that attacks Islam, its nation, and its house,” Al-Zawahiri said.
Over the last few months, Al-Zawahiri has released a series of audio statements from his hideout. One of them dealt with Islamic State and its leader, Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi, who he criticized for establishing a Caliphate without consulting other Muslim leaders. The tone in his new statement was more reconciliatory toward Islamic State. Some even suggested that he now seeks cooperation with the radical jihadist group.
If reconciliation between Al-Qaeda and Islamic State should materialize, it would be another blow to efforts to stabilize the Middle East.
