DUBAI, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri urged Palestinians to abandon President Mahmoud Abbas as a "traitor" and said he had sold his religion and Palestinian land.

In a video posted on the Internet on Wednesday, Zawahri said Abbas and his top adviser, Mohammad Dahlan, were "secularists who sold Palestine and are enemies of Islamic law, traitors and agents of America and Israel".
