Al Qaeda's second-in-command, in an Internet message, said on Tuesday that Israeli attacks on Gaza were part of a Western campaign against Islam, and accused U.S. president-elect Barack Obama of complicity.
"What you are facing now ... is a link in a chain in the Zionist crusader campaign on Muslims and Islam," Ayman al-Zawahri said in an audio tape posted on Islamist websites. "These attacks are Obama's present to you (Palestinians) before he takes office." (Reuters)
