An audio recording appeared today on a radical Islamist Web site, featuring what appeared to be Osama bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman al Zawahari, discussing the writings of a Muslim poet.
The tape surfaced a week after a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan that killed a top al Qaeda bomb maker and chemical weapons expert, but the speaker does not mention the incident. Analysts say that's potentially revealing because it calls into question Al Qaeda's ability to respond quickly in its propaganda war.
The tape appears to be an old recording, as it refers to the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan in October 2001, and moarns members of al Qaeda who were killed during that operation.

New info..
Ok. I will. "IT"
Hmmm.....Why release an old tape?
Coop want to handle this one.
Pathetic. Desperate. Ridiculous.
Did ABC actually spell it "moarns"?
If releasing a tape that is two years old is proof that he survived the missile attack, then, hey, who am I to argue?
This, along with Bin's probably came from the vault at al Jazeera.
I have a concern that this could be a signal to sleeper cells around the globe. Similar to the BBC broadcasts to the French Underground before Operation Overlord.
'Moarning' Becomes Al-Qaeda
I didn't change a thing in the article....thats how they speeled it...:-)
I thought Muhammad hated poets...
They must've just fixed it....
There once was a man from Lahore...
Something smells to high heaven here.
And Fox just said that the 'intelligence commmuities" are taking a second look at the bin Laden tape.
ABC will not mind me sellabrating their moarning.
I saw the best terrorists of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the Iraqi streets at
dawn looking for an ambush,
turbanheaded terrorists burning from napalm
heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the
machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high
sat up chanting suras in the supernatural darkness of
cold-water caves overlooking the tops of cities
entering the 21st century
"John has a long moustache...."
This one clearly is, and it leads to an inescapable conclusion.
