Jazeera TV says to Air Video from Zawahri
Reuters ^ | Fri Jun 17, 2005

Posted on 06/17/2005 10:44:11 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

Arabic Channel Al Jazeera said it would air Friday a new video tape from al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri, in which he criticized U.S. plans for Middle East reform.

It said that in the video Zawahri also attacked the pro-Western governments of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

The television briefly aired footage of the Egyptian right-hand man of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden wearing a white turban with a rifle by his side, but no audio could be heard. Al Jazeera said it would later air Friday fuller excerpts of the videotape.

Zawahri and bin Laden, believed to be hiding in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan, have eluded capture since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. cities carried out by al Qaeda.

no audio could be heard.

Luckily I have a transcript:

" If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."

Zaquari must be hurting for some new members...since the coalition and the Iraqi forces have been doing a good job of arresting and/or knocking off the ones he had.

Why don't they just play Durbin instead?

This is Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's right hand man, not Zarqawi in Iraq.

Isn't it a bit early for a Democrat to announce his 2006 Senate run?

Zawahri and bin Laden, believed to be hiding in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan,....

So that's where Tom Dasshole is hiding these days.

If Al-Zawahri laments about prison abuse he will be echoing the sentiments of Prick Turban. More fodder for the GOP.

That was my thought.

Why should al-Zawahri take time out from his busy day of plotting the deaths of infidels to film an upbeat message to his supporters when Durbin is qualified to handle his public relations.

Just more proof that Osama has been worm-food for quite some time.

Jazeera TV says to Air Video from Zarwahri their jihad medal winning, highly loved, field correspondent Zawahri. Last year's winner of the Jihad medal, Bin Laden could not be reached for comment!
