An audio tape calling for a worldwide resistance against ''crusader America'' and its allies, including Britain and Korea, presumed to have been recorded by Al-Qaida¡¯s number two Ayman al-Zawahiri, was broadcast by al-Jazeera television Friday.
''We should not wait until U.S., British, French, Jewish, South Korean, Australian or Polish forces enter Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen and Algeria before we resist,'' said the tape. The tape called for indiscriminate attacks against the U.S. and its allies, saying ¡°Let us start resisting now. The interests of America, Britain, Australia, France, Poland, Norway, South Korea and Japan are spread everywhere¡±
''They all took part in the invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq or Chechnya or enabled Israel to survive. We can't wait or we [Muslim nations] will be eaten up country by country ....'' the tape said.
Prior to this, al-Jazeera aired on Sept. 9 another audio tape by Ayman al-Zawahiri which vowed that the United States would fail in Iraq and Afghanistan. The CIA concluded that the speaker was almost certainly Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The U.S. placed a US$25 million bounty on Zawahiri.
