.Report: Al-Qaida No. 2 blames Obama for Gaza
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - An intelligence monitoring center reports that Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader is blaming Barack Obama and Egypt's president for the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
The SITE Monitoring Service says the audio statement purportedly made by Ayman al-Zawahiri was posted on militant Web sites Tuesday. It is al-Zawahiri's first comment on the crisis since the war began Dec. 27.
In a transcript of the statement released by SITE, al-Zawahiri calls the Israeli offensive a "Crusade against Islam and Muslims" and "Obama's gift to Israel" before he takes office.
Al-Zawahiri also calls Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak, a "traitor" for keeping his borders closed to Palestinians.
