Zarqawi sez he's humiliating the US in new tape
An audiotape purportedly made by key terror suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi boasts that Islamic holy warriors have humiliated the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. The speaker noted recent battles between American forces and militiamen loyal to a radical Shiite cleric in the holy city of Najaf, indicating that it had been made recently.

There was no way to verify the authenticity of the 45-minute recording or the date it was made. The audiotape surfaced Saturday, the third anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, on a Web site known for Islamic content. The voice on the tape was similar to that of previous recordings of al-Zarqawi and used a similar style of rhythmic speech. There was no reference to the Sept. 11 attacks in the tape, titled "Where is the honor?" | I ask that question myself, damn near every day. |
The tape opened with previously recorded material, including songs and speeches, before introducing the speaker as al-Zarqawi. The ensuing speech lasted about 25 minutes. "The holy warriors made the international coalition taste humiliation ... lessons from which they still are burning," the speaker said.| Meanwhile, a few thousand mothers of Tater-ites are burying their boys. |
