"Al-Qaeda Number 3, Abu Yahya al-Libi has issued a new video urging the killing of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah for his moves towards inter-faith dialogue with Pope Benedict XVI.
A photo of King Abdullah and Benedict XVI taken during Abdullah's historic visit to the Vatican last November has been posted with the video to publicise it on Islamist websites.
A caption beneath the photo repeats part of al-Libi's video message. It reads: 'He (Abdullah) has made religion a joke and has done so in public with Jews, Christians and Muslims. He has thrown those fighting for Islamism into jail...and has fraternised with those who have offended the Prophet, notably the adulator of the Cross, the Vatican's Pope.'
Al-Libi concludes the message with a call to kill King Abdullah for having betrayed Islam.
The Libyan-born militant is believed to have fought alongside al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan."
