TERROR group al-Qaeda yesterday launched its first attack on US President-elect Barack Obama.
The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Ayman al-Zawahiri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.
In Al Qaeda's first response to Obama's victory, al-Zawahiri also called the president-elect — along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — "house Negroes."

In a chilling broadcast, Osama Bin Laden’s second-in-command warned Obama to end America’s war against the Taliban.
He told him: “The dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands of them.”
The terror boss said: “You are neither facing individuals not organisations, but are facing a Jihadi (holy warrior) awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world.”
Al-Zawahiri, 57, slammed Obama for not becoming a Muslim like his father. And he accused America of “drowning in greed” and spreading “evil, murder and despotism”.
He also branded Obama and US politician Colin Powell “house negroes” — doing the bidding of white leaders.
The Sun was the first news organisation to uncover the rant on al-Qaeda’s website. Within hours it had flooded extremist websites worldwide.
Terror expert Glen Jenvey said of the broadcast: “It’s importance cannot be underestimated.”
