CAIRO — The leader of al- Qaeda in Afghanistan praised a top commander who was killed last month by a U.S. missile strike and vowed that the fight against America and other enemies would continue, according to a video released Wednesday.

Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed, the self-proclaimed leader of the terrorism network’s Afghanistan branch, said in the 12-minute video that the killing of Abu Laith al-Libi and other top al-Qaeda leaders in recent years strengthens the fight against infidels.
