| Binny to weigh in on the capture of Saddam Hussein |
| 2004-01-04 |
| Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television said it will air a new audiotape of Osama bin Laden on Sunday night local time, in which he refers to the December 13 capture of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. "The audiotape contains new things — it refers to the Geneva Initiative [an unofficial Israeli-Palestinian peace plan unveiled in early December] and the capture of Saddam Hussein on December 13," Al-Jazeera editor Ibrahim Hilal said. Mr Hilal said the voice purported to be that of bin Laden will also refer to the "[US] crusade against the Islamic world". |

| #7 The Qatari interior minister is on bin Laden's payroll and has shilled for both Khalid and Zarqawi in the past. My guess is that he's the reason these tapes keep getting floated to Qatar. |

| #6 They're not treating this like news, they're treating it like a combination propaganda tape and entertainment show. That's because al-Jizz is the fully-owned propaganda arm of the International Jihad. |

| #5 They've probably Binny on tapes discussing "the recent invasion of Syria" or "the bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities", etc. We can only hope they get to use 'em. |

| #4 "Mr. Hilal said the voice purported to be that of bin Laden"...bore a distinct similarity to that of Daffy Duck. (Apologies to Joe Alasky the voice of DD) |

| #3 Why do they wait until a certain date or time to broadcast the tape? They're not treating this like news, they're treating it like a combination propaganda tape and entertainment show. |

| #2 I thought al-Qaeda were only distributing the next OBL tape after their 'back breaking' terror blitz?? They must have an entire catalogue of OBL tapes for any occasion... |
