>>> In the portion of the tape I have translated so far I have seen NO mention of the death of King Fahd.
Hey StillProud,
Could the black turban be for mourning King Fahd?
I don't think so.
First, Zawahiri has been railing against Fahd for years now.
Secondly, I think that had Zawahiri been aware of Fahd's death, he would have mentioned it.
I am a little surprised he didn't mention the attacks in Egypt. Of course I've only heard 2 minutes and 3 seconds of a larger tape so far. But his last tape railed against Egypt (as well as other countries).
If I had to place a date on the tape I would put it somewhere after July 7, and before July 22. But I really need to hear the rest of the tape. I've been away from the computer for hours now so perhaps it's been released. I'll go look for it now.
