A leader of al-Qaeda's Egyptian wing has called for attacks on "Zionist" and Western targets in support of the the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas.
"O heroes, strike... all the Zionist-Crusader targets in the land of Egypt without shedding the blood of Muslims," said Mohamed Hakaima in an online statement.
Hakaima is a former leader of the Gama'a Islamiya group. The statement was posted on a website used by Islamists groups including al-Qaeda.
