The Syrian Army and Hezbollah won a phyric victory at Qusayr, but all it has done is anger the Sunnis in the Arab world. Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has joined the Muslim Brotherhood’s call for Jihad in Syria.
Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri urged Sunni Muslims to unite and join the battle in Syria to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad and prevent a US allied government from taking the lead in a post-Assad Syria.
According to The Associated Press, Zawahri called Sunnis everywhere to dedicate their lives, money and expertise for the fight against Assad’s regime.
He has blasted Lebanese Hezbollah Shiite militants and Iran for supporting Assad, AP said
Zawahri also called on Sunnis to “rise above their differences” and fight the expanding Shiite influence in Syria, AP added.

The news comes a week after prominent Sunni Muslim cleric Youssef al-Qaradawi on Saturday called for jihad in Syria as he lashed out at Shiite group Hezbollah for sending its men to fight in the war torn country.
