According to Arab analysts, al-Zawahiri was instrumental in forging the coalition of al-Jihad (or the wing of it he now controls after its fragmentation by Egyptian security authorities several years ago), Bin Laden;s forces, two Pakistani groups and another from Bangladesh in February 1998 with the purpose of waging war on the USA. The hundreds of al-Jihad members" estimates range as high as 1,000, about one-third of Bin Laden's force in Afghanistan" with al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan formed a hard core of seasoned militants around which the coalition, the International Front for Fighting Jews and Crusaders, has been built. Al-Zawahiri has been a central figure in the conflict waged by Islamic zealots in Egypt since the 1970s, fighting alongside the main Islamic group, al-Gamaa al-Islamiya, with the aim of establishing an Islamic state. Indeed, al-Zawahiri has been active since 1966, when as a boy of 15, he was arrested for membership of al-Ilkwan al-Muslimun, the Muslim Brotherhood. The Islamic movement, committed to purging Egyptian society of foreign influences, particularly the British, was founded in 1928 by Egyptian schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna. Later outlawed, it became the catalyst for most of the militant Muslim organisations that sprang up across the Arab world. |

 Osama bin Laden (left) stands beside Egyptian Ayman Al-Zawahiri in a video broadcast October 5th. Experts differ on which man is really in charge. "Zawahiri has a different kind of experience," (than bin Laden) "He is not interested in fighting in the mountains. He is thinking more internationally, involved in militancy inside Egypt. He was behind the terrorist attacks on tourists [the 1997 attack in Luxor left 58 dead]. He is the person who can do the things that happened on Sept. 11." |

 Janes Video Grab -- This video grab shows Ayman al-Zawahiri, the ideologue behind Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network now wanted for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The grab is taken from a video tape circulated in Kuwait in June 2001. |
If the negotiations, continuing for decades between the Palestinian Authority and the Jews under the auspices of America, have brought us nothing but an increase in killing and hostility toward the Muslim people in Palestine, and an increase in repeated attempts at the destruction of the Aqsa Mosque, then when will we attain the liberation of Palestine? When will we attain the rights of Muslims in Palestine? When will we stop the hostility toward the Aqsa Mosque? ...The issue of Palestine, or more precisely the Israeli-American crime in Palestine, will remain the essential axis of the conflict in the heart of the Muslim world and the greatest impetus for Muslims' jihad against America. America will disregard her crime in Palestine as she pleases. And the leaders of the world will disregard the tragedy. The roots of terrorism – as they call it – include the problem of Palestine. America will remain an exporter of her transgression and the illusion of her power and arrogance. But we confirm for [America] that the issue of our jihad, by God's will, [remains] until we liberate our holy sites from the American Jewish enemy, until the last American Jewish soldier departs from Palestine and the Arabian Peninsula and every Muslim country. ...Bush is lying to his people. Defending this battle, he claimed he has destroyed the al-Qaeda organization and torn apart the Taliban (battle-)lines.
by God's will – which of us is the liar and who is truthful. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/11/10/21043.shtml |
