Al Qaeda’s number two honcho, Ayman al-Zawahiri, calls for mass murder.

Al Qaeda’s Zawahri calls for strikes against West.

As well as physical attacks on the West, Zawahri, who is deputy to al Qaeda’s leader Osama bin Laden, called for an economic boycott against several countries.
“It is our duty to take part in a mass economic boycott of Denmark, Norway, France, Germany, and all countries that take part in this crusader attack against Islam,” he said, referring to the cartoons first published in a Danish newspaper last year.
