Dubai: Al Qaida's second-in-command Ayman Al Zawahri has accused Arab leaders in a new tape of betraying the Palestinians by attending the Middle East peace conference in Annapolis and urged Muslims to keep fighting.
In an audio recording posted on Islamist websites on Friday, Zawahri said, "The Arab states and governments were present as false witnesses to the latest of the treacherous deals to sell Palestine."
He added, "Our Muslim brothers in Palestine, unite under the banner of Islam and on the road of God's jihad and reject these secular organisations that sold you out in Madrid and Oslo, in Camp David and Wye River, in Sharm Al Shaikh and Annapolis."
US President George W. Bush hosted a meeting in Annapolis late last month that relaunched the Israeli-Palestinian peace process which has been largely dormant during his presidency.
