Video

A video was released by the media branch of al-Qaeda Wednesday in which the second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, calls for Afghans to rise up against coalition forces.

Zawahiri claimed to have recorded the message May 29, the day after deadly riots rocked Kabul.

In the video, which is only in Arabic, Zawahiri talks about what he calls "crimes against the Afghan people by the Americans" and calls on young men in Kabul "join in with the Mujahedeen forces in attacking the invaders and freeing Muslim Afghanistan."
