Al-Qaida Chief Appears in New Video Marking 9/11 Anniversary

Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri appeared in a new video marking the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, attacks, months after rumors spread that he was dead.

The SITE Intelligence Group that monitors jihadist websites said the video was released Saturday. In it, al-Zawahri said that “Jerusalem Will Never be Judaized,” and praised al-Qaida attacks including one that targeted Russian troops in Syria in January.

SITE said al-Zawahri also noted the U.S. military's withdrawal from Afghanistan after 20 years of war. It added that his comments do not necessarily indicate a recent recording, as the withdrawal agreement with the Taliban was signed in February 2020.

Al-Zawahri made no mention of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan and the capital Kabul last month, SITE added. But he did mention a Jan. 1, attack that targeted Russian troops on the edge of the northern Syrian city of Raqqa.

Rumors have spread since late 2020 that al-Zawahri had died from illness. Since then, no video or proof of life surfaced, until Saturday

U of Northern Iowa is next door to Waterloo, and Waterloo is flooded with illegals, not just Hispanics, but from all over the world. Meat and other food processing.

Even small town America is turning into Shitholistans.

It is “al Qaeda”.

Newsweek’s Weak News cannot even spell simple stuff.

Actually, I believe that Al-Qaida is the Persian version of the spelling.

Popped it into Google Translate >

Al-Qaida (Arabic) = Al-Qaeda (English)

Persian = کمپ for (”the” camp) (”the” was ignored by Google Translate)

My understanding is Arabic has a western character form.

I’ve not seen a Persian equivalent.

Turkey (Ottoman Empire) did not until after WWI, when an Armenian Scholar provided the Turks with western print characters language.

“What matters is the need to face the pathological racism and bigotry in Turkey that have concealed the Armenian name of the linguist who helped create the modern Turkish language.”
