ZAWAHIRI REFFERS TO SYRIAN UNREST
ZAWAHIRI REFFERS TO SYRIAN UNREST
The new head of Al Qaeda Ayman Al Zawahiri, in a video that appeared on extremist websites on Wednesday 07/27/2011, describes Syria’s president as “the leader of criminal gangs, the protector of traitors,” and applauds anti-government protesters seeking to topple him, in a video that appeared on extremist websites this week (see Zawahiri’s last massage – Footage 06.08.11).
Ayman Al Zawahiri uses the seven-minute video to discuss Syria and address the protesters seeking to oust President Bashar Al-Assad. The protests have sparked a bloody government crackdown in various cities including Daeel and Douma, according to witnesses.
“Oh free people of Syria and its mujahideen,” the terror leader said. “It is better for you not to ally yourself with the colonialist powers of the world and the new crusades.” Al-Zawahiri said the U.S. changed its stance on Syria after uprisings led to the ousting of the longtime leaders of Tunisia and Egypt. “America which had committed itself to Bashar for the length of his rule announces today that it stands with you,” Al-Zawahiri said. “After what it saw and the ground shook from the thunder of your rage and after it was devastated by the loss of its two biggest agents in Egypt and Tunisia” (see – U.S 2011 Policy).
