Al Qaeda Encouraging Muslims to Help Syrians

Over the weekend, Ayman al-Zawahri, the leader of Al Qaeda, released a videotape of him calling on Muslims of all nations to assist the Syrian rebels in overturning the government. Syrian President Bashar al Assad has been cracking down on the civil uprisings that have been occurring, resulting in more than 6,000 deaths in less than a year. What is interesting is that Al Qaeda has been relatively out of the news as of late, especially with all of the unrest in the Middle East. A meeting is scheduled for today to address the unrest in Syria, along with the possibility of Muslims attempting to cross Syrian borders in order to help the rebellious natives.
