None
Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader mocked US President Barack Obama for voicing confidence over victory in Afghanistan, in an Internet message posted on Monday. Ayman al-Zawahri also said Arab government leaders allied to the West were more harmful to the Palestinians than Israel.
"Poor Obama comes to Kabul and he promises that Taliban shall not return to power ... You poor man, can you promise that your hordes will return safely to America?" a speaker who sounded like Zawahri said in an audio recording posted on Islamist websites often used by al Qaeda. (Reuters)
