Al-Zawahiri to the U.S.: "Do Not Ask President Bush When The Soldiers Will Return - Ask Instead How Many Will Return"

[MEMRI] The Islamist website www.ekhlaas.org/forum/, which is hosted by Layered Technologies, Inc. in Texas, posted on September 20, 2007, an 80-minute video of al-Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri speaking on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of 9/11. Al-Zawahiri called on the Muslims in the Maghreb to bring Andalusia [the Spanish peninsula] back into the fold of Islam, and stated that this could only be done by "purging the Islamic Maghreb of the French and the Spanish who have returned there." He calls on the Sudanese to wage jihad against the Crusader invasion of Darfur, as their brothers did in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Al-Zawahiri also addresses the issue of jihad in Somalia, Chechnya, and Palestine, and calls on the Islamic nation to support the jihad fighters "under the victorious banner of the Prophet."
