Al-Qaeda chief calls for uprisings in Saudi Arabia

By Asif Hassan | AFP – Sun, 22 May, 2011

Ayman al-Zawahiri, the longtime Egyptian number two to Osama bin Laden, the

Al-Qaeda leader killed earlier this month, has called on Saudis to take up this

year's wave of Arab revolt.

In an audiotape which the jihadist network's media arm Al-Sahab said was

recorded before bin Laden's death on May 2, Zawahiri said it was Western

governments that had backed the veteran strongmen in Egypt and Tunisia who were

overthrown by popular uprisings earlier this year, US monitoring agency SITE

reported.

" Zawahiri addressed the uprisings and current events in Libya, Egypt and

Tunisia, and called for additional revolutions in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, " the

monitoring group, which specialises in jihadist websites said.
