Al-Qaeda chief denounces Islamic State 'liars'
Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri denounced the Islamic State and called them "liars" for alleging that al-Qaeda opposes attacks on Shias and was prepared to partner with Christian leaders. Al-Zawahiri further claimed that he asked ISIS multiple times to concentrate on attacking military, security, police forces and Shi'ite militiamen, instead of attacking markets and Shi'ite places of worship.
