Well, I condemn you to drink beer, eat pulled pork and watch sinful decadent scantily clad dancing kuffar women until you repent.

Oh, wait, never mind. I'll keep the above, you stick to fatwaing.

No point wasting the good life on these bozos.

Too scared to provide pictures.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates  — Audiotapes purported to be from Usama bin Laden's top lieutenant aired on Arabic TV stations Tuesday, one taunting President Bush and threatening more attacks on the United States, the second criticizing France's decision to ban Islamic headscarves in schools.

Portions of separate audiotapes attributed to Ayman al-Zawahri were broadcast a few hours apart on Al-Arabiya and Al-Jazeera, competing pan-Arab satellite channels based in the Persian Gulf. Officials at both stations said they had aired only excerpts judged newsworthy. The two stations said they had received different tapes.

So, Bin Laden isn't talking these days? Because he can't? Or because he wants to make a transfer of power?

"We remind Bush that situation is not stable in Afghanistan, or else how do we wage, with God's support and might, our attacks on your troops and agents. ... How do we send our messages that challenge you and reveal your lies," the tape said.

Er... whoops... we got the tapes mixed up. This one actually came came from the Democratic National Committee Headquarters...

He wouldn't be Bin Laden's deputy if he didn't.

My friend translated this:

http://64.246.51.45/vb/showthread.php?s=e8cd9271cf964b321472b598ade9961e&threadid=102891

After the end of February º you will be on the receiving end of Al Qaeda

And it will appear that the attack will be a surprise and without previous warning.
The first preemtive attack will be outside of America

America digs its grave from the north; Osama has sworn this in a solumn oath

The images that accompany this message are one of Osama sitting at a desk, two of the WTC in flames,
one of a flyover of NYC, and one of Osama over a blackboard. The text on the blackboard says
basically that the dates on the message are not correct and the unexpected should be expected;
what is here is there and what is there is here. My interpretation is that the attack will be before the end
of February and will probably not be outside the US. I suspect CA or Hawaii, but most likely something
from the south, not the north. I may be completely wrong on this - but that's my take on the message.

Please read this in conjunction with the message in the same forum regarding the 100 staircases for
100 militants who will need them in the coming three days. Basically - I'm interpreting this to be something within the next 72 hours.

This would be consistent with the release of the Zawahiri tape today. Historically Zawahiri tapes have preceded an attack on a civilian target by 1-3 days. The list below isn't complete but I think there's enough to discern a pattern. I am still looking for some dates to fill in - i.e. Mombasa.

I also think that there is substantial reason here to believe that something major was averted in December.
Notice all the shoulder taps from Bin Laden and Company but no major attacks.

Thank you for your post. While others make light, I take these threats seriously and pray they'll be stopped in time.

Intriguing- and chilling. Are you going to post this over on the daily terror threat matrix thread? Hope so- this demands further analysis.

Also, Jill St. Claire just updated her site with news of pending attacks.
