Cairo, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri said a film made in the United States mocking the Prophet Mohammad showed Washington was waging a "crusader Zionist war" against Muslims and he called for more protests outside American embassies.
Like in other messages released by al Qaeda's Yemeni and North African branches last month, Zawahiri praised last month's assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed four diplomats but stopped short of claiming responsibility.
In the recording, posted on Islamist websites on Friday, he called on "free and distinguished zealots for Islam" who attacked the consulate and protested outside other American embassies to "continue their opposition to American crusader Zionist aggression against Islam and Muslims".
The recording appeared on the Mujahedin al-Ansar website which carries statements from al Qaeda leaders.

London, March 26 (Reuters) - A woman suspected of breaking into the home of television entrepreneur Simon Cowell, reportedly armed with a brick, is due to appear in court on Monday.
Cowell, the music mogul turned TV producer who created "The X Factor" talent show programme that airs in both Britain and the United States, was confronted by the intruder late on Saturday at his home in west London, police said.
"There was a loud bang and Simon rushed upstairs to find out what was going on," Cowell's spokesman Max Clifford told the Sun newspaper. "It came from the bathroom so he went in - and there was a woman standing there holding a brick."
"It was very frightening for Simon who told me it was like something from a horror movie."
Cowell's "on-site security team" turned up and detained the woman until police showed up, according to the Sun.
