Al-Qaeda leader backs Syrian revolt against President Assad

Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri urges Syrians not to rely on the West or Arab governments in their uprising to topple President Bashar al-Assad.

In the eight-minute video, entitled Onwards, Lions of Syria and posted on an Islamist website, the Egyptian-born Zawahri also urged Muslims in Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan to come to the aid of Syrian rebels confronting Assad's forces.

"Our people in Syria, don't rely on the West or the United States or Arab governments and Turkey," Mr Zawahri said.

"If we want freedom, we must be liberated from this regime. If we want justice, we must retaliate against this regime."

Mr Zawahri took command of al Qaeda after Osama bin Laden was killed by US special forces in a raid in Pakistan last May.

This is believed to be his second such message to Syrian protesters.
