“Sacrifice what you can to deliver to the capitals of the infidel West, the criminal America, and the agent tyrants a taste of what they deliver to our brothers and our oppressed brothers and people in Palestine,” Libi said in a videotape posted on the internet, according a translation by SITE monitoring group.
