It was an audiotape:

“The statement, which experts said was part of the psychological duel with the United States, was included in a 25-minute audiotaped speech by Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella organization that claims ties to Al Qaeda. Mr. Baghdadi’s statement was posted on a password-protected Web site called Al Hesbah, used to disseminate information to Islamic radicals.”

I should quickly add — jihad is jihad.

Al Hesbah is used by jihadis and I’m not downplaying the jihad element
to the tape.

If it qacks, waddles, and swims like a duck — it’s a duck.

Thanks for your feedback FocusNexus.
