Al-Qaeda deputy leader says West after Libyan oil

None

Al-Qaeda's likely next leader says NATO's operations in Libya are meant to topple Muammar Gaddafi so the West can install a puppet government and control the country's oil wealth.

 

In a 49-minute audio recording, Ayman al-Zawahri, the No. 2 man in al-Qaeda, called on Libyans to acquire weapons to use in a guerrilla war against the Western coalition. The audio was posted on militant Internet forums late Saturday. (AP)
