DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's second-in-command urged Muslims to continue attacks against "criminal" America and slammed president-elect Barack Obama for vowing to back Israel during his campaign.
Ayman al-Zawahri warned Obama that he would fail if he followed the policies of President George W. Bush, according to an audio tape published on Wednesday by the SITE Institute, a U.S. organization that monitors Islamic militant groups.
Zawahri also criticized Obama for what he described as turning his back on his Islamic roots, calling him a 'House negro.'
