Al-Qaeda vows to hurt Obama's US

Beruete

Ayman al-Zawahiri, the al-Qaeda deputy accused US President-elect Barack Obama of betraying his Muslim roots. Zawahiri claims that Mr Obama was not an "honourable black American" like Malcolm X, but an "abeed al-beit" - a word that translates as house slave. Barack Obama has made the stamping out of al-Qaeda his top priority. On Sunday, he said capturing or killing Osama Bin Laden was "critical" to US security.

"You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews"

Zawahiri, an Egyptian by birth, is often referred to as Osama Bin Laden's right-hand man and the chief ideologue of al-Qaeda. He claims that "America, the criminal, trespassing crusader, continues to be the same as ever, so we must continue to harm it in order for it to come to its senses," he said. He also states that Barack Obama, born to a muslim father, is betraying his father and the Islamic world.
