Al Qaeda’s no. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri called on Palestinians to reject a cease-fire and instead be steadfast while Jewish targets are attacked around the world.
"The jihad to liberate Palestine and all the homelands of Islam mustn't cease, and if the field tightens in one place, it widens in other places, and Crusader and Jewish targets are spread all over the world," he said according to speech transcription provided by the US-based SITE Intelligence Group.
Zawahri promised that Islamic terrorists would help the Palestinians by mounting attacks everywhere, "for the entire world is our field against the targets of the Zionist Crusade."
Osama bin Laden also issued an audio message on Gaza in January urging Muslims to launch a jihad against Israel.
The authenticity of the 25-minute recording could not be independently confirmed, but it was posted on an Islamist Web site known as a clearing house for al Qaeda messages.
