Al-Qaeda Leader Calls on Americans to Embrace Islam
[AP/Washington Times] Al-Qaeda's No. 2 leader Ayman al-Zawahri appeared in a new video posted Friday calling on Americans to embrace Islam to overcome the financial meltdown, which he said was a consequence of the Sept. 11 attacks and militant strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Al-Zawahri called on the American people to "embrace Islam to live a life free of greed, exploitation and forbidden wealth." Al-Zawahri, an Egyptian, also took aim at Egypt's government, blaming it for the blockade of Gaza because it has kept its border with the territory sealed.
