From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:Poverty breeds terrorists: more evidence (not)
Here's a profile of Ayman Al-Zawahiri:
Born on June 19, 1951, al-Zawahiri grew up in an upper-class neighborhood in Cairo, Egypt. Both his grandfathers were renowned scholars and his father was a prominent physician.....Along with bin Laden, al-Zawahiri signed a fatwa, or declaration, stating: "The judgement to kill and fight Americans and their allies, whether civilians or military, is an obligation for every Muslim.""Ayman al-Zawahiri's influence on bin Laden has been profound," said Peter Bergen. "According to a number of people who know both men, (al-Zawahiri) helped (bin Laden) become more radical, more anti-American and more violent."
Another of this gang.
