| Before anyone says it, bin Laden was alive circa October 2004 to make his pre-election video appearance. He might have died in the Pakistani earthquake, but until we get proof that he did in the form of a body or some other verifiable evidence (the head'll do nicely), the search continues, especially given that having extra lives seems to be part of whole supervillain gig. Remember how many times the Triplanetary thought they'd taken care of Roger too ... Al-Qaeda's leader Osama bin Laden is still alive and leading a holy war against the West, the group's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri said in an internet video. "Al-Qaeda for holy war is still, thanks to God, a base for jihad (holy war). Its prince Sheikh Osama bin Laden, may God protect him, is still leading its jihad," Zawahri said in a video posted on a website frequently used by militants. "I bring a message of joy to all Muslims and mujahideen that al-Qaeda, thanks to God, is spreading and expanding and strengthening," he said. "(Al-Qaeda) has transformed into a popular organisation confronting a new crusader Zionist campaign, in defence of all violated Muslim lands," said Zawahri, who was wearing a black turban and white robe. He was speaking against a white background to an interviewer off-camera who said the interview was to mark the fourth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on US cities. More via DNA: Al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri called on mujahideen to attack oil sites in Muslim countries, according to an Internet video posted on Wednesday. âI call on mujahideen to concentrate their attacks on Muslims' stolen oil, from which most of the revenues go to the enemies of Islam while most of what they leave is seized by the thieves who rule our countries,â Zawahri said. Yet More, this time from Rooters: Zawahri said the new "crusader" campaign by the United States and its Western allies was failing as evident by U.S. losses in Afghanistan and Iraq. "America and its crusader allies have not achieved anything. Its forces in the battleground are receiving blows each day." He discredited Iraq's January elections, saying only half the population turned out to vote, and blasted what he called a weak government that was swept into power. "The (Iraqi) government is begging Americans not to leave because they know the day Americans leave is the day they are finished." Four years after the U.S. war on Afghanistan, only the Taliban exercised real power in the country, chaos reigned in its capital Kabul, and legislative elections held in September were fraudulent as they were monitored by a biased United Nations, he said. "If it wasn't for the Pakistani army's continuous support to Americans, they would have left (Afghanistan) a long time ago and they will leave soon, God wiling." |
