Al-Qaida No. 2 says group still targeting the West

CAIRO, Egypt - Osama bin Laden's chief deputy warns that al-Qaida still has plans to target Western countries involved in the Iraq war in a new audiotape released Tuesday to answer questions posed by followers.

The voice in the lengthy file posted on an Islamic Web site, could not be immediately confirmed as al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri's. But it sounded like past audiotapes from the terror leader.

The tape is billed as the second installment of al-Zawahri's answers to more than 900 questions submitted on extremist Internet sites by al-Qaida supporters, critics and journalists in December.

Asked by one follower if the terror group still had plans to attack Western countries that participated in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and subsequent war, al-Zawahri said: "My answer is: Yes! We think that any country that has joined aggression on Muslims must be deterred."

Asked if there are any women in al-Qaida, the terror leader answered simply: "No."

In another answer, al-Zawahri said it was against Islamic religious law for any Muslim to live permanently in a Western country "under the laws of the infidels."

In his first response to questions earlier this month, al-Zawahri rejected the criticism of attacks by the terror network's followers, which have killed thousands, and maintained that the group does not kill innocent people.

It's obvious they are all gay. Makes sense; One can imagine that sexual tensions would get really high for larges groups of males sitting around for months on end in dark, dank caves.

So I guess that means the Japanese, Korean, Australian, etc., etc. troops/personnel are safe?

“”Asked if there are any women in al-Qaida, the terror leader answered simply: “No.””

Asked if the reverse is true, the terror leader answered simply: “Ewwww.”

Zawahiri need the same type of silencing as Adam Gadahn. Although there have been no official confirmations of his demise, it is likely he is gone due to a predator bombing a few months ago. We certainly haven’t heard from him since.
Let’s hope Zawahir is next.

They’ve told us their plans. No longer any excuse for not starting the mass deportations now.

"This of course does not include our impressive Muslim terrorist brothers who merely choose to be disguised as women to bravely avoid capture by infidel scum."

Zawahiri does all the talking because Osama ben Laden is dead - - and has been for some time.
