Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri has urged Saudis to follow the example of the Arab Spring and rise up against their rulers.
"Why don't you rise while you are the sons of the proud and strong tribes that look down upon death in order to lift the humiliation and the oppression?" Zawahiri asked in a video translated by the US-based SITE Intelligence Group.
"Why don't you follow the example for your brothers in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen and the Levant?"
He was referring to the Arab Spring wave of popular uprisings that has roiled North Africa and the Middle East since December 2010.
The six-minute video was produced in February or March and appeared Thursday on extremist websites, according to SITE. » | Friday, May 18, 2012
