Ayman sez kill Perv
2004-03-25
Arabic television Al Jazeera has aired a purported new tape of senior al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri in which he calls on Pakistanis to overthrow their government.

"I call on Muslims in Pakistan to get rid of their government which is working for Americans," said the voice on the tape, which sounded like previous recordings of Zawahri, the right-hand man of Osama bin Laden.

"The CIA is reviewing the tape in an effort to determine whether it is authentic," a U.S. intelligence official told Reuters in Washington.

The CIA has determined that two tapes broadcast on Arab television in February were "probably Zawahri" -- who it believes played a key role in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

In those tapes, he accused France of "Crusader hatred" toward Islam by banning Muslim headscarves from state classrooms and threatened more attacks against the United States.

On the new tape, the speaker called Musharraf "the traitor."

"Pakistan is targeted mainly because Americans don't want it to be a nuclear power in Asia because it is Muslim," he said.

He said Musharraf had plans, including "strangling the Jihad (holy struggle) in Kashmir" -- the majority Muslim state disputed between India and Pakistan -- by gradually abandoning the right of Kashmiri independence and paralyzing Pakistan nuclear capabilities.

#3  Additional from the tape:
It was not known when the tape was made, but the speaker appeared to be referring to the conflict in South Waziristan when he said, "I call on the Pakistani army: you, poor army, what a miserable state Musharraf has put you in ... Musharraf ruins your natural fences - those tribes on the border - by engaging you in a fight with them. Then he removes your nuclear weapons. Will you stay silent until Pakistan is divided again?"
The speaker said such military operations on the borders violated Islamic law by pitting Muslims against each other at America's bidding.
"Every soldier who finds this act to be legitimate is an infidel, according to Islamic law," the speaker said. He also urged Islamic clerics to tell the Pakistani people "the truth about Musharraf, the traitor and killer of Muslims."
"They should incite the nation to expel the crusaders from Pakistan," the speaker said, using the word "crusader" for Americans as Islamic militants often do. "The crusade in Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya and Palestine is targeting Pakistan primarily, because America does not want Pakistan to be a special power in the center of Asia."

#2  Fred, have you considered reporting this joker for theft of service? Seriously -- this latest post looks like he's trying to shift his URL around to get around any filters you've set up. That's an attempt to get around controls you've set limiting the use others have of the machine you've paid for.

Turn in a troll -- the site you save may just be your own.
