CAIRO — The leader of Al Qaeda has urged Muslims
to wage holy war against the United States and Israel over a film that insulted
Islam's Prophet Mohammad.
Ayman al-Zawahri praised as "honest and
zealous" demonstrators who breached the US Embassy in Cairo and attackers
who stormed the US "embassy" in Benghazi in violence linked to the
film. The American ambassador and three others died in the Sept. 11 attack on
the US Consulate in the Libyan city.
The amateur film "Innocence of Muslims"
was made by an Egyptian-born American citizen.
In an audio message released by al Qaeda's media
arm As-Sahab and posted on militant websites early Saturday, al-Zawahri claimed
Washington allowed the film's production under the pretext of freedom of expression,
"but this freedom did not prevent them from torturing Muslim
prisoners."
