Al-Qaeda Supports the Events in Tunisia and Algeria

ENNAHAR ONLINE ENGLISH: Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has called on demonstrators to extend their movements in Tunisia and Algeria to overthrow the governments in place and institute Sharia law, reported Thursday the U.S. service monitoring Islamist websites SITE.

In a 13-minute video, the leader of AQIM, Abu Musab Abdul Wadud, suggests to Tunisian dissidents, who have been demonstrating for a month: "send us your son so that they receive military training", SITE reported.

"We offer our support and our comfort and our help in your distress and your uprising," said Islamist leader.

Abu Musab Abdul Wadud called Tunisians to rise throughout the country against "the corrupt, criminal and tyrannical" in place in Tunis and establish Islamic law, (Sharia).

"But we will sooner or later retaliate against your torturers and their masters," he threatened. >>> ennahar | Friday, January 14, 2011
