"I speak to you today as the crusader Ethiopian invasion forces violate the soil of the beloved Muslim Somalia," Ayman al-Zawahri said in the audiotape. The Egyptain-born al-Zawahri also urged Islamist militia to remain fighting until Ethiopian forces are defeated.
"I call upon the Muslim nation in Somalia to remain in the new battlefield that is one of the crusader battlefields that are being launched by America and its allies and the United Nations against Islam and Muslims," al-Zawahri said. "Launch ambushes, land mines, raids and suicidal combats until you consume them as the lions and eat their prey," al-Zawahri added.
[...]"My brother Muslims in Somalia, don't be traumatized by America's force because you have defeated it previously with the support of Allah, and it is weaker today than before," al-Zawahri said in the audiotape. Al-Qaida's No. 2 also urged Muslims in other Mideast and African countries to support Somalia's Islamists with fighters, money and expertise.

I appeal to the Muslims everywhere to rush to support their brother mujahidin who are being encroached upon and are being fought by America and its slaves for they chose the law of Islam instead of the law of looting, plundering, theft, bribery, corruption, and treachery.
God says: And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise! Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.
I urge them not to listen to any defeatist calls that would prevent them from taking part in supporting their brothers who are being attacked. I call on my brothers, the young men of the Islamic groups, to keep in mind that they only joined these groups so that such groups could help them obey God. If such groups prevent you from so doing, you should destroy these caskets in which you are being mummified alive. You should get out of these graves in which these groups intend to bury you alive.
O Muslims in Somalia, I bring you good tidings: America and its slaves will be defeated with the help of God in Somalia as God defeated them in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, you should be patient and steadfast.
Somalia's Islamists have heard Ayman al-Zawahri call for arms. From Houston Chronicle.
Islamic fighters hiding in Mogadishu since their movement's main force was driven from the Somali capital say they will heed al-Qaida's call for guerrilla attacks and suicide bombings against Ethiopian troops whose intervention was key to the Islamists' defeat. "I am committed to die for the sake of my religion and the al-Qaida deputy's speech only encourages me to go ahead with my holy war," 18-year-old Sahal Abdi told The Associated Press, referring to an audio message posted on the Internet on Friday.
Remember all the warnings Bush heard about invading Iraq starting a conflagration of Jihad?
