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.
Great. Maybe he they can split screen with our loyal oppostion?
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?
Ooops wrong guy. Sorry.
Hey, they all look and sound alike to me. :)
There are no terrorist in Gitmo, not a single one.
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?
So that's where Tom Dasshole is hiding these days.
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.
Nothing like actually reading the article AFTER I posted.
Thanks for the correction. :)
Just more proof that Osama has been worm-food for quite some time.
Did they let him use their studio to film it?
It'll be Durbin in a turban.....
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!
Better than Kerry on a Ferry.
