Saudi Arabia al-Qaida leader calls on all Muslims to ‘turn infidels’ lands into hell’

One of Saudi Arabia’s most wanted al-Qaida militants has called on Muslims to kill Americans everywhere and vowed attacks against Arab leaders allied to Washington, according to a video on an Islamist website.

A masked man identified as Abdulaziz al-Muqrin in a video on the Dirasat website said Americans had yet to feel the “real fires of battle”. In an apparent reference to a guerrilla uprising in Iraq, he said Washington faced another Vietnam.

“O mujahideen, fight the Americans everywhere and fight the Americans with all your might and capabilities. Terrorise them as they have terrorised your brothers,” the man said.
