March 4, 2011
Al Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri called for the establishment of Islamic rule in Egypt following former President Hosni Mubarak’s resignation, according to an Internet audio recording posted to a jihadist website, Forbes reported March 3. The 28-minute long recording told Egyptians and Tunisians to not let the United States and other foreign nations install puppet regimes and urged Yemenis to continue agitating against Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who he said turned Yemen into an American spy base.
