Signal to Attack? Worries Over Latest al Qaeda Tape Share

July 13, 2007 12:36 PM

Brian Ross and Rhonda Schwartz Report:

Signaltoattac_mn Fearing a possible coded signal to attack, U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials are studying an unusual pattern of words in the latest audiotape from al Qaeda's No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri.

On the tape, posted on the Internet Wednesday, Zawahri repeats one phrase three times at the end of his message.

Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness.

Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness.

Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness.

A new FBI analysis of al Qaeda messages, obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com, warns that "continued messages that convey their strategic intent to strike the U.S. homeland and U.S. interests worldwide should not be discounted as merely deceptive noise."

Intelligence analysts are also investigating technical clues that Zawahri's most recent audio message was phoned in via computer phone, using voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP.

Surely they’re mistaken. The real translation is, “John has a long mustache.”

On the other hand, it just may be deceptive noise.

Maybe the message went out earlier, and he is pi$$ed because nothing happened. Kind of a moslem “Can you hear me now?”

Here's one possibility. Here's a paragraph from Muhammad's last sermon:

Ye people! Listen to my words: I will deliver a message to you, for I know not whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you here again. O people! verily your blood, your property and your honor are sacred and inviolable until you appear before your Lord, as this day and this month are sacred for all. Verily you will meet your Lord and you will be held answerable for your actions. Have I not conveyed the message? O Allah! Be my witness. He who has any trust with him, should restore it to the person who deposited it with him. Beware, no one committing a crime is responsible for it but he himself. Neither the son is responsible for the crime of his father, nor the father responsible for the crime of his son.

Who knows what it means? Maybe Zawahiri is not well.

We should never underestimate the islamic terrorist enemy. Even if they are on the run and they lost the majority of their leadership and foot soldiers terrorists, and even if their remaining leadership is hiding, they can still cause us very severe harm and attack us right here in the US and elsewhere.

We need to be very vigilant my FRiends, each one of us should be a soldier in defense of this greatest nation in history even if we are not enlisted in the military.
