The leader of Al-Qaeda delivered a sinister message to young Muslim men in the United States and other Western countries, encouraging them to carry out more attacks in their home countries.
The terror leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, makes the call to arms in an audio recording that was posted online on Sunday.
He also urged militant groups across the world to establish a greater unity in the jihads.
‘I call on all Muslims who can harm the countries of the crusader coalition not to hesitate,’ he said in the recording, referring to the nations making up the Western-led coalition in Iraq and Syria.
‘We must now focus on moving the war to the heart of the homes and cities of the crusader West and specifically America.’
The leader suggests Muslim youths take their inspiration from Tsarnaev and the Kouachi brothers, who carried out the Boston marathon bombings and the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris respectively.
Despite dismissing ISIS and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as illegitimate, Zawahiri hinted this week at cooperation in their fight against the West.
