| Al-Qaeda Appeals to Sympathizers for Donations |
| 2010-08-13 |
| [Asharq al-Aswat] Al-Qaeda is appealing for financial donations for the third time in a little over a year in a sign that the terror network might be short on funds. A message posted on a militant website Wednesday repeats a June 2009 appeal by the group's top Afghanistan commander, Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed. He said then that many militants in Afghanistan were unable to fight because they lacked money and equipment. Al-Yazeed was killed in an airstrike in May. The web message also included an earlier audio recording of Osama bin Laden urging businessmen to direct their alms to al-Qaeda. Abu al-Yazeed's appeal was echoed a month later by al-Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri, who called for financial support from Pakistanis. |
