Al Qaeda’s No. 2 leader has issued a new videotape calling on Afghans to rise up against U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan in the wake of rioting last month in Kabul, the capital.
The video by Ayman Zawahiri -- which would be his sixth this year -- was reported Wednesday by IntelCenter, an Alexandria, Va.-based contractor that provides counter-terrorism intelligence services to the U.S. government.
