Qaeda Bigs praise jihad. Really.
2003-11-01
From 2nd Issue of 'Voice of Jihad' Al-Qa'ida Online Magazine, via MEMRI
One page of the issue is devoted to quotes in praise of Jihad by " the Imam of the Mujahideen, Osama bin Laden," "Sheikh Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri," and "the Mujahid Sheikh Mohammad bin Abdallah Al-Seif." The final name most likely refers to Sheikh Abu Omar Muhammad Al-Seif, who appeared recently in a film distributed by Al-Qa'ida that also included the final statements of the Riyadh suicide bombers. Al-Seif has been identified on Islamic websites as the number two leader of the Chechnyan Jihad.
Pretty notschit information. I included this for the ID on al-Seif.

#1   That would make him #2 man to Shamil Basayev, who seems to be the main driver of the Chechen jihad. Throw that in with an al-Ghamdi (Abu Walid) running al-Qaeda ops up in Dagestan and the large number of Chechens that seem to keep turning up alongside al-Qaeda and I'd call that a pretty firm link.
