Al-Qaeda #2 Slams Arab Leaders as "Zionists"
(AFP) Ali Khalil - Al-Qaeda no. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri slammed Arab leaders as "Zionists" who are helping Israel's siege of Gaza, in a message posted online Monday. "These Arab Zionists are more dangerous than Jewish Zionists," he said. "Who is besieging our people in Gaza and is surrounding them with an underground metal fence? Is he not the chief of Arab Zionists (Egyptian President) Hosni Mubarak?" He went on to accuse Jordan's King Abdullah II, Saudi King Abdullah and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of being "Zionists." "Obama, whether you admit it or not, Muslims have defeated you in Iraq and Afghanistan and will defeat you in Palestine, Somalia and the Islamic Maghreb [north Africa]," he added. Zawahiri has a U.S. bounty of $25 million on his head.
