Washington Post : Al-Qaida chief calls on anti-Gadhafi fighters to set up Islamic state, Algerians to revolt 12221020111012475

CAIRO — Al-Qaida’s new leader is calling on Libyan fighters who
overthrew Moammar Gadhafi to set up an Islamic state and urges Algerians
to revolt against their longtime leader in remarks in a new Internet
video.

Ayman al-Zawahri warns Libyan revolutionaries to protect their gains
against “Western plots,” claiming NATO will demand that Libyans give up
their Islamic faith.

Al-Zawahri also urges Algerians to “revolt against the tyranny” of
President Abdelaziz Bouteflika and follow the examples of Arab
uprisings.

In the 13-minute video that surfaced on militant websites on Wednesday,
Osama bin Laden’s successor also praised a militant attack in southern
Israel in August, when gunmen crossed from Egypt and killed eight
Israelis near a Red Sea resort.
