A newly released tape from Al Qaeda, once again airing on their mouthpiece Al Jazeera, has now surfaced one month from our national elections and is calling for attacks upon the United States and Britain and allied nations. Is this supposed to be a surprise?
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - An audio tape purportedly released by Usama bin Laden’s deputy calls for attacks on U.S. and British interests everywhere, according to a broadcast Friday by Al-Jazeera television.
The Arab station said the speaker on the tape was Ayman al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian-born surgeon and the closest aide to Al Qaeda terrorist group leader.
It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the recording.
The speaker on the latest tape calls on Muslims “not to wait any longer, otherwise, we will be devoured, one country after the other,” according to Al-Jazeera.
“The youth must not wait for anyone and must begin resisting from now and learn a lesson from Iraq and Afghanistan and Chechnya.”
In addition to the United States and Britain, al-Zawahiri singled out Australia, France, Poland, Norway, South Korea and Japan, saying they had all participated in occupying Afghanistan, Iraq or Chechnya and gave Israel the “means of survival.”
An Al-Jazeera producer said the tape was “supposedly received today,” by usual means, which he refused to discuss. The station showed almost four minutes in two clips of a longer recording, and, as usual, was not planning to broadcast the tape in full.
