Thanks for the alert. We have been anticipating bin laden's next release, haven't we?
Yes. But I seem to recall that back in the summer of 2004, there was an indication/net-rumor that UBL would release a video *after* an attack. That obviously did not happen with the October 29, 2004 release, but bears mentioning.
I did not like the phrase "Good News Soon". Was that caption included on Zawahiri's tribute I wonder? If so, I'd still be cautious. If not, I'd be very concerned.
