Al-Qaeda urges young men to launch attacks in their own countries

Ayman al-Zawahiri, Leader of Al-Qaeda urges young Muslim men in the united states and other western countries to emulate Tsarnaev and the Kouachi brothers, who carried out the Boston marathon bombings and the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris respectively.

Ayman in an audio recording told young Muslim men to launch attacks in their own countries.

"I call on all Muslims who can harm the countries of the crusader coalition not to hesitate," he said in the recording, referring to the nations making up the Western-led coalition in Iraq and Syria.

We must now focus on moving the war to the heart of the homes and cities of the crusader West and specifically America," he further said.

It was not clear when the audio recording was made, but references to former Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar as being alive suggest it is at least two months old.

Zawahiri reiterated his position on Islamic State, repeating what he said in a recording posted on Wednesday  that he viewed the group’s claim to be a caliphate as illegitimate but would join them in fighting Western and secular forces in Iraq and Syria.
