Zawahri criticises Pak flood relief efforts
Al Qaeda's number two Ayman al Zawahri released an audio recording on Wednesday accusing the Pak government of responding too slowly to severe flooding in the country and calling on Paks to revolt.Zawahri, believed to be hiding in mountains along the Afghan-Pakistain border, spoke in a 44-minute recording which appeared to mark the anniversary of the September 11 attacks in the United States. "The primary concern of the ruling class in the government and army of Pakistain is filling their domestic and foreign bank accounts with dollars, and as far as they are concerned, Pakistain and its people can go to hell," he said. Entitled 'A Victorious Ummah, A Broken Crusade: Nine Years After the Start of the Crusader Campaign', the recording was posted on a snuffy website often used by al Qaeda. Zawahri called on Paks and Turkish Mohammedans to rise up against their governments because of their involvement in Afghanistan. "The Turkish Mohammedan people must confront the behaviour of their government, which is participating in the Mohammedan-killing campaign in Afghanistan," he said. "The same holds true for the government of Pakistain," he said. "The forces of jihad... have emerged victorious and the forces of the Crusader invasion have emerged weakened by their wounds and exhausted by the haemorrhage of human and financial losses," he said. "Nine years after the beginning of the Crusade against Afghanistan and then Iraq, here is the Crusade reeling after being weakened by the blows of your devoted sons, the mujahedeen," Zawahiri said. Last year, al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden released an audio tape marking the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, but no such message has appeared from him so far this year.
