Ayman sez kill Perv
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.
