CAIRO – Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader on Wednesday made a thinly veiled call on Pakistanis to rise up against their government over what he said was the "failure" of authorities there to provide relief to flood victims.

In a video posted on militant websites, Ayman al-Zawahri also accused the Islamabad government of corruption, saying Pakistani officials were only interested in lining their pockets and not concerned about the fate of the country or its people.

However, the Al-Qaida No. 2 placed some of the blame on the Pakistani people, saying their apathy is at least partially responsible for the "deteriorating conditions and corrupt state of affairs" in the country.

"The silence of our people in Pakistan toward these corrupt corrupters is the reason for this obvious inability and failure to offer them relief," the Egyptian-born al-Zawahri said.
