CAIRO: Al-Zawahri Blasts Obama, US Arab Allies, Al-Qaida’s deputy leader has accused President Barack Obama of cheating the Arab world by failing to advance Middle East peace talks.
In a new Internet posting, Ayman Al-Zawahri also scoffs at key American allies in the region — the Egyptian president and the Jordanian king — for making peace with Israel.
The 25-minute audio message focuses on Obama.
Al-Zawahri says the U.S. president’s Mideast policy is “another cycle in the Crusader and Zionist campaign to enslave and humiliate us.”
Al-Zawahri also urged Muslims and Palestinians to wage holy war outside Israel and the Palestinian territories, and praised Muslim militants fighting in Pakistan.
