SANA, Yemen — The deputy chief of al-Qaeda’s offshoot in Yemen urged attacks on Saudi Arabia and U.S. interests in the area in an audio message posted Monday on the Internet.
The statement, purportedly by Said al-Shihri, urged followers “to attack the interests of America and the Crusaders, and their agents . . . especially the Saudi” rulers who he claimed wage a proxy war against Muslims on U.S. behalf.
Yemen’s Interior Ministry dismissed the threat, saying it reflected “increasing isolation and despair” on the part of the al-Qaeda group.
