New Delhi: An Al-qaeda video released on Thursday calls for more attacks on the West. The video features Osama bin Laden's right hand man Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The video however makes no reference to the foiled car bombings in London and Glasgow. This is the eighth video released by Zawahiri this year.
In the one-hour, 34-minute video, titled ‘The Advice of One Concerned,’ Zawahiri includes clips from other videos and news broadcasts, including one from al-Furqan, the video production arm of the Islamic State of Iraq, according to Mansfield, who obtained the video.
Al-Zawahiri says in the message that the defeat of the West is imminent, and that "the enemy" is trying to forestall the inevitable, Mansfield said.
"The good omens of the new dawn of victory have begun to loom on the horizon, with Allah's permission and will," he says.
"And the stage preceding victory is normally, in the history of nations, the stage in which there is most seen an increase in conspiracies, plots and inciting of discord in an attempt by the enemy, who has begun to see his defeat approach, to push back and delay the defeat as much as he can," he says in the video. Zawahiri called for a regime change in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
