Al-Zawahri: Muslims must launch holy war to break siege on Gaza
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Al-Qaida's top deputy Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims to launch holy war to break the siege of Gaza, in a new audio recording posted Wednesday on a militant Web site.
In the 11-minute recording, a voice purportedly by Osama bin Laden's deputy spoke in Arabic and said the "salvation of the Muslim nation is through the march of its sons on the path of jihad."
An accompanying banner said the message was issued to mark the 41st anniversary of the 1967 Six-Day War, when over a period of six days from June 5, IAF warplanes destroyed 400 aircraft belonging to Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq - most of them sitting on airport tarmacs.
