Al-Qaida chief blesses attacks on Egypt security

Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri has given his blessing to attacks of
Egyptian jihadis on the police and army, but said they should avoid
harming civilians.






In
an audio interview with al-Qaida media arm as-Sahab posted early
Saturday on a militant website, al-Zawahri advised jihadis that any
armed confrontation should be popularly supported and that victory
cannot be achieved without this support.






Al-Zawahri said the jihadis should choose their targets very carefully and explain the aims of each operation to the people.






He
also harshly criticized Egypt's ultraconservative Islamist al-Nour
Party, accusing it of deceit and deception by supporting the military
backed interim government and secular constitution, which he considers
void.
