Tehran, YJC. -- "Crusaders and secularists and the Americanised army have converged ... with Gulf money and American plotting to topple Mohamed Morsi's governmen" Ayman al- Zawahiri , the Egyptian-born head of the militant Al-Qaeda organisation said in a 15-minute audio recording posted on militant Islamist forums.
Islamist backers of Egypt's deposed president Mohamed Morsi staged defiant rallies Friday and clashed with police in Cairo, after the government ordered their protest camps to be broken up.
