The department of empty threats strikes again.
Al-Qaida leader warns of new attacksUsama Bin Ladinâs top aide, Ayman al-Zawahiri has warned the US of fresh attacks in a new audio tape aired by Aljazeera. (I wonder how long Al-J had possesion of this tape before they decided to air it, last time it was at least two months) In the tape aired on Monday, al-Zawhiri also lashed out at US President George Bush. Al-Zawahri accused Bush of misleading the world, spreading "fear" (GOOD) in the Middle East and appointing "corrupt" leaders. He has also denied Bushâs allegations of cracking down on two-thirds of al-Qaida network. (We are as strong as we where on 9-11 our recent victories in the belly of the eagle prove, uhm, ehhh, never mind.) In this audio tape, al-Zawahri has undermined the US claims of achieving freedom and security in the world. Shifting on to the Iraqi issue, the top aide has said Iraq was under the rule of an anti-Islamic secular governor (referring to Saddam Hussein) and is now under an anti-Islamic occupation. He then warned the United States of new attacks carried out by what he called "Death Brigades". (Shudder) In his audio tape, al-Zawahri referred to Bushâs State of Union Speech, which is normally delivered on 20 January, indicating that al-Zawahriâs tape was recently recorded.
