Al-Qaida’s No. 2 figure harshly criticized Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in a new audio tape Saturday, accusing him of being an enemy of Islam and threatening a wave of attacks against the North African country because it improved relations with the U.S.
\nIn the 28-minute audio tape called “Unity of the Ranks,” Ayman al-Zawahri also announced that the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group was joining ranks with al-Qaida.
\n“The Islamic nation is witnessing a blessed step … The brothers are escalating the confrontation against the enemies of Islam: Gadhafi and his masters, the Washington crusaders,” al-Zawahri said in the audio tape. The recording could not be independently verified, but it appeared on a Web site commonly used by insurgents and carried the logo of al-Qaida’s media production house, as-Sahab.
\nThe recording also carried a message from Abu Laith al-Libi, a Libyan al-Qaida commander in Afghanistan who accused Gadhafi of decades of tyranny.
\n“He is the tyranny of Libya and is dragging the country to the swamp,” al-Libi said in the recording that also featured old video footage of him walking with other masked gunmen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
