CNN is saying an Arabic TV station (can we guess which one that might be?) is airing a new audio tape from OBL's right-hand man, al Zawahiri. I'm looking for it on their site, or on another one, now to link it.

They said he condemns france (lower case "f" intentional) for their ban on headscarves.....wonder if it's a signal for an attack on france now.

Still nothing on CNN's site but they're talking about it a little more now. Al-Arabiya is airing the audio tape.

CNN is trying to verify whether it's al Zawahiri's voice and maybe that's why they haven't posted the news on their site yet. I'm still looking around on other sites, too.

I got confused about what tape was going to "precede" the major attacks culminating in the cave of darkness. I thought AlJazerra had already played the relevant tape. Another- screened by CNN- is worrisome. The AQ's repeatedly have stated that they will give our government brief advance notice of the attack, so that the officials can watch from their underground bunkers. They further say that the officials will "cry like women" when they see the destruction one of their own cities.
