CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Al-Qaida’s No. 2 slurred Barack Obama with a demeaning racial term for a black American who does the bidding of whites in a new Web message Wednesday intended to dent the president-elect’s popularity among Arabs and Muslims and claim he will not change U.S. policy. Ayman al-Zawahri’s speech was al-Qaida’s first reaction to Obama’s election victory — and it suggested the terror network is worried the new American leader could undermine its rallying cry that the United States is an enemy oppressor. Obama has been welcomed by many in the Middle East who hope he will end what they see as American aggression against Muslims and Arabs under Bush. —-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
