Al-Zawahiri called on Muslims to assist earthquake victims
Al-Qaida's second-in-command has called on the world's Muslims to assist those afflicted by the devastating earthquake.
In a videotaped message broadcast by Aljazeera on Sunday, Ayman al-Zawahiri appealed to Muslims to help those who are suffering in Pakistan.
"We have sadly received the news of the disaster that befell the Pakistani Muslim people following the earthquake that struck the region," he said.
"We ask Allah (God) to grant those killed in the earthquake the positions of martyrs and pious people.
"My brothers and myself wish to be among you, our dear brothers, on this day.
"However, agents of America are standing in our way to help our Muslim brothers in their distress.
"Today, I call on Muslims in general, and on Islamic relief organisations in particular, to go to Pakistan and help their Pakistani brothers and withstand the troubles and harm they face for this purpose.

"We all know the raging American war against Islamic charitable work.
