Speaker in Newly Released Tape Discusses 'Jihad Poet,' Reads Verses(Updated INFO)
ABC News ^ | Jan. 20, 2006

Posted on 01/20/2006 12:54:03 PM PST by Dog

An audio recording appeared today on a radical Islamist Web site, featuring what appeared to be Osama bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman al Zawahari, discussing the writings of a Muslim poet.

The tape surfaced a week after a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan that killed a top al Qaeda bomb maker and chemical weapons expert, but the speaker does not mention the incident. Analysts say that's potentially revealing because it calls into question Al Qaeda's ability to respond quickly in its propaganda war.

The tape appears to be an old recording, as it refers to the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan in October 2001, and moarns members of al Qaeda who were killed during that operation.

I can't find a translation available yet, but at 17 minutes in length, it would be fairly lengthy.

Long time lag According to this:

How Does al Qaeda Send Terror Tapes Without Getting Caught?

According to al Libbi, it takes six to 12 weeks of travel in the remote and inhospitable areas along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, where bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahri are still hiding.

How about some jihad haiku:

Terrorist dying.
Missiles fly down from heaven.
Hard to match up parts.
