al-Qaeda in Iraq calls Egypt protesters to wage jihad


Washington: al-Qaeda-front group The Islamic State of Iraq has called on Egyptian protesters to wage jihad and push for the establishment of a government based on Islamic law, the US-based SITE monitoring service said on Tuesday.

The statement, which appears to be the first reaction of any group affiliated with al-Qaeda to the ongoing protests in Egypt, was issued on jihadist forums on February 8, according to the US group.
