Here's another article. Do you think OBL is still traveling with him?

Osama's Deputy Threatens More London Attacks

Tape Was Broadcast On Al-Jazeera

(AP) CAIRO, Egypt In a videotape broadcast Thursday, al-Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri threatened more destruction in London after last month’s attacks on the city’s transit system.

In the tape shown on the pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera, al-Zawahri also said British Prime Minister Tony Blair was to blame for the capital being targeted.

“Blair has brought to you destruction in central London, and he will bring more of that, God willing,” al-Zawahri said in the tape, referring to the July 7 and July 21 attacks on London’s subways and buses.

In the July 7 attacks, four suicide bombers killed 52 people.

Referring to the Western nations contributing troops to the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, he said: “As to the nations of the crusader alliance, we have offered you a truce if you leave the land of Islam.

“Hasn’t Sheik Osama bin Laden told you that you will not dream of security before there is security in Palestine and before all the infidel armies withdraw from the land of Muhammed?” al-Zawahri added.

The tape showed al-Zawahri positioned in front of a woven cloth, with an automatic rifle behind his right shoulder. He was wearing a white robe and a black headdress.

Have we established any significance to the positioning of the gun? (pointing up, trigger away from speaker). By the way. His outfit is to die for. A stunning play of contrasts with that slash of black down the side for a "surprise".

Has anyone else's personal alert level just shot through the roof? We know the correlation between al-Zawahiri's tapes and major attacks. There was one a couple of weeks before the London bombings. (audio I think).
