Al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahiri has called on Pakistanis to revolt against their government and military in a video posted on the Internet on Friday, U.S. monitors said.
In a 10-minute speech uploaded to jihadist forums, Zawahiri argued that the Pakistani authorities only represented U.S. interests, according to a statement from SITE Intelligence Group.
Zawahiri, shown standing in front of a green curtain, urged Pakistanis to follow the example of the Arab Spring as the military could not be expected to turn against America despite a deadly US strike on Pakistani troops in November.
