In an attempt to incite Muslim Terrorists against the USA, Ayman al-Zahari, al Qaeda’s No. 2, said US president-elect Barack Hussein Obama was not an "honorable black American" but a "house nigger" (5:39 into the video message)
Al Qaeda's deputy leader accused Obama of betraying his race and his father's Muslim heritage on Wednesday and urged more attacks, as the group tried to counter the incoming U.S. president's global popularity.
Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's second-in-command Ayman al Zawahri attacked Obama as a "house Negro," a racially-charged term used by 1960s black American Muslim leader Malcolm X to describe black slaves loyal to white masters.
Zawahri has employed the "house Negro" insult before to label Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell.
"And in you and in Colin Powell, Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X ... concerning 'House Negroes' are confirmed,"
"You represent the direct opposite of honorable black Americans like ... Malcolm X," Zawahri said in an 11-minute recording publicized on the Internet on Wednesday in al Qaeda's first high-level commentary on Obama's election victory on November 4.
Zawahri criticized Obama's support for Israel and plans to send more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, where he said they were destined to fail. He also said, "And be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them." He urged Islamist fighters to keep striking "criminal" United States until it withdraws from Muslim lands.
The recording was distributed on a videotape that carried pictures of Obama at the Western Wall in Jerusalem and Malcom X, flanking Zawahri in the center.
U.S. officials and analysts, are alert for signs of an attack in the period leading up to the transfer of presidential power on January 20
