In a video that surfaced on August 15, 2011, al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri “urged ‘Muslim brothers everywhere’ to continue to target the United States, and to avenge bin Laden’s death. ‘America today is staggering,’ said Zawahiri. ‘Hunt her down wherever you may encounter her. Hunt her down to cut what is left of her corruption’s tail.’ ”
