The Kuwaiti Newspaper Al-Watan published a communique today allegedly authored by Al Qaeda's Chief of Training Abu Muhhmmad Al-Ablaj, which refers to an impending attack by the orginzation.

The communique said that Al Qaeda is about to deliver a 'fatal blow' to the 'head of the international media serpent that serves the Americans whims and interests.'

He adds that the upcoming phases against the United States will 'cut off the wings of the American Eagle, slice its arteries, and finally buther it the Islamic way.'

Al Ablaj also claimed that Al Qaeda has an independent brigade in Iraq.

Al Watan also reported that the communique will also appear in the London-based Saudi weekly Al-Majalla.

Is it too much to hope for that they choose CBS or ABC? (heavy sarcasm button on)

Blech....

Notice that they are fighting on their own ground? President Bush brought the fight back to them on our terms.

So. Are they going to nail AlJazeera or the BBC? Their perceptions of things are so screwed up they probably will.

I'll see if I can find one, his comments bear a striking resemblance to 'Baghdad Bobs ' greatest hits.

You know, OBL could be talking about himself since he is a pretty big source of news whenever he peeps.

Looks like al-Ablaj has come out of the sewer hiding to issue yet another rant.

Exactly who would be the "head of the international media serpent?"

Never underestimate AQ.....

'head of the international media serpent

This statement would give me sleepless nights if I was the director of security for CNN and the BBC and Fox......this sounds like a specific threat against the heads of their networks...

Is there an Eagle type statue in 30 Rock? Or could the missing American Airlines 727 in Angola be the 'eagle' they are referring to..
