I know what you mean. Wasn't it recently that Zawahiri claimed some Egyptian was joining AQ for jihad?

I meant to say some Egyptian group

Yep, you're right:

Al Qaeda has joined forces with the long-quiet Egyptian militant group Al-Jamaa Islamiya, according to a videotaped message from Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant that aired Saturday.

Ayman al-Zawahiri said in the message that the two groups will form "one line, facing its enemies."

"May God give us victory with his help," the Egyptian-born al-Zawahiri said on the tape. It aired on the Arabic-language network Al-Jazeera.

It was unclear how many members of Al-Jamaa Islamiya would join al Qaeda's ranks.

Perhaps 11 members as a start?

Yes, Zawahri announced that Gamaa Islamiya was joining the al Qaida network. Would be quite symbolic to see Egyptians attack the U.S. after such an announcement - not to mention the fact that he is Egyptian himself.
