CAIRO: Al Qaeda No 2 Ayman al-Zawahri will soon release a new message about the pope, US President George W Bush and Sudan's troubled Darfur region, an Islamic website said on Wednesday. A banner warning of the upcoming message was posted on an Islamic website that frequently airs Al Qaeda videos. Wednesday's notice did not specify whether the new message was a video, audiotape or text, but Zawahri usually releases videos. His latest came earlier this month, to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Al Qaeda released a string of videos for the anniversary, showing increasingly sophisticated production techniques in a likely effort to demonstrate that it remains a powerful, confident force five years into the US-led war on terror.The red stylised banner posted on Wednesday flashes a small headshot of al-Zawahri, next to a short text: "As-Sahab production institute presents: Ayman al-Zawahri. Bush... Vatican pope... Darfur... Crusader wars." The graphic is stamped with the emblem of As-Sahab, Qaeda's media production arm. It did not specify a timeframe for the tape's release, saying only that it would come out "soon, God willing."
