Ayman al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian, said Morsi, who was deposed in a coup on 3 July, was targeted for being an Islamist by a conspiracy of secularists, Coptic Christians, and Egypt’s ‘Americanised’ army. But in his 15-minute internet audio message posted online on Friday, Zawahiri condemned Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood for having ‘tried its best to satisfy America and the secularists’ by relinquishing jihad, usually defined by al-Qaida to mean armed struggle.”
