Al-Qaeda No. 2 Calls for Islamic Rule in Egypt
(AP) Maamoun Youssef - Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's deputy, urged fellow Egyptians to establish Islamic rule over the country in an Internet audio message released Friday. He warned Egyptians not to trust Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the head of the Armed Forces Supreme Council, which took over control from Mubarak. "Don't be deceived by Hussein Tantawi, Mubarak's man and lackey who is trusted by the Americans, who consider him as the guarantor of stability in Egypt," al-Zawahri said.
