NEW YORK (AP) A statement on the Internet says a new video by Osama bin Laden has been released in which the terror leader talks about the death of Iraq insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
per Fox it's an audio tape
Yeah, well... Fox's recent history of quality news is less than spectacular.
Seems Max Headroom technology has finally reached the Islamokazis, though Fox is calling it "audio".
Yeah, looks like CNN is reporting same.
Audiotape posted on Islamic Web site purports to be Osama bin Laden, grieving over the death of al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Ping
"grieving over the death"
That's his future he's grieving over.
Did Osama thank the New York Times for their help?
And the Supreme Court?
Bad timing for the Rats and the Drive By MSM. All this does is remind the American people of who we fight on a day the Rats wanted to hamer Bush over the stupid SC ruling.
... and the cut and run democrats

On tape, bin Laden mourns al-Zarqawi's death
Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden mourns the death of his top lieutenant in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in an audiotape posted Friday on an Islamist Web site.
CNN could not verify the authenticity of the tape, which the network began translating shortly after it was posted.
The audiotape was layered over a split-screen image featuring a still photo of bin Laden on one side and a video of al-Zarqawi on the other. The tape is more than 19 minutes long.
Al-Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, was killed June 7 in a U.S. airstrike north of Baghdad.
On Wednesday the Web site posted a note saying it was expecting a message from bin Laden.
"Coming Soon, Osama Bin Laden new message, offering condolences of the martyr of the (Islamic) nation and the emir of the martyrs, Abu Musab Zarqawi, may God rest his soul," reported the Web site. It often posts messages, statements and videos from al Qaeda.
The Web site posted a nearly identical notification June 22 on behalf of al Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri. The following day, a videotape was aired on the Arab station Al-Jazeera in which al-Zawahiri said he was grieving over the death of al-Zarqawi.
On the tape, al-Zawahiri calls al-Zarqawi a hero and martyr and threatens retribution for his death.
"There isn't a single person who'll be killed that we won't get vengeance for, God willing," he said.
"I am announcing....that I just received 20% off of my yearly New York Times subscription."
Isn't it cute - the dems giving Osama his talking points.
It's gotta be love
"Osama added "My friend, Pinche Salsaburger, is not a traitor. Though he is an infidel.""
"Allah, continue blessings for my friends at the NY Times."
