Al Qaeda leader, believed dead, appears in video on 9/11 anniversary

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri appeared ​in a video released Saturday — the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — raising questions over his rumored death.

The US-based SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks jihadist groups online, tweeted about the existence of the video, saying Zawahiri made comments about events that occurred after speculation first emerged that he’d died.

​​”Amid rumours of his death, Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri shown in a new 60-minute video, this time offering some evidence that he is not dead​ – ​particularly, reference to events after December when rumors of death surfaced,” SITE director Rita Katz tweeted.

The video was entitled “Jerusalem will not be Judaized” and was released by As Sahab Media, the terror group’s propaganda arm. ​

Zawahiri mentioned a raid on a Russian military base by the ​al Qaeda-aligned Hurras al-Deen in Syria, which the group said occurred on Jan. 1 — after rumors began circulating of his death in November.

Katz said while Zawahiri did discuss the US’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, she noted he did not talk about the Taliban’s return to power in the country.

“However, Zawahiri doesn’t mention Taliban’s Afghanistan victory, and his talk of US ‘making its exit from Afghanistan’ could have been said early as Feb 2020 upon Doha Agreement,” she said, referring to the deal made last year to end the war in Afghanistan. “Thus, he could still be dead, though if so, would have been at some point in or after Jan 2021​.”.

Now that we’re done with that cycle of war, everyone who was on board with things the first go round better get right with Jesus about why the government leaders you placed such faith in for two decades only went into Pakistan once to schwack someone behind the 9/11 attacks, and even then only begrudgingly because it was important for a presidential re-election. Get right with that and figure out how you don’t get fooled again.

I assume this guy is sitting somewhere in Pakistan, too. Probably right next door to one of their generals.

I don’t believe it is al-Zawahiri, unless he is using Botox. Older images of him have a deep horizontal crease in his forehead at the base of the scar/mark.

EVERYONE better get right with Jesus. None of us are guaranteed a next breath. The jab, germy masks, control, etc. etc. Today at a local farm supply store according to an employee the shipment of certain Ivermectin products are being stopped A notice cautioning its use had been placed on the locked cabinet where it was being stored. We are in endtimes (not date setting). . . dripping evil everywhere.

Terrorist about himself:
To coin a phrase, the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. From our esteemed Arab writer Al-Marq Muhammatwain.

That Comedy Channel starts programming with a theme song sung by a slender guy in a suit with sunglasses and bushed out hair. "Like A Rolling Head." Was a hit in the Middle East in 1966. His followup was "Everybody Must Get Stoned (Rainy Day Jihad #12 & 35)".

avatar? but it’s really not who, but the fact that al-q released it on 9-11. Twiddling their nose at us.

I meant that phrase in a metaphorical sense that people on the "right" side of the political aisle were all about small government and personal freedom but we propped up GWB and the neocons for years while they grew government, didn't stop the endless war, and intruded on our personal freedoms, but I guess in a literal sense getting right with Jesus works at least as good. To thine own self be true.
