Thank you for the translation.
Sounds like old Zawahiri's got some slackers in his organization - maybe some kids looked at him and wondered why - if the afterlife is sooooooo great - why is Zawahiri "clinging" to this world... Maybe the old man is lying to them... or playing them for fools. Or maybe, if Allah is all powerful, he could come here and speak for himself.. or maybe, just maybe, self- appointed leaders like Zawahiri only speak for themselves. And they will die for nothing.
1. The phrase: your salvation is only through Jihad is in there twice.
2. "If you help him not, Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him out, the second of two ; when they both were in the cave, when he said to his companion, 'Don't worry.Allah is with us.'"
Does the phrase "second of two", in the context of that sentence, make any sense?
Hah! never mind the fact that the little dope was actually wearing the dress! AZ is mad because sittee (grandmother) was shown wearing it!

Deadly attack on Pakistani troops (excerpt)
The number of soldiers killed in a suicide attack on a military convoy in north-western Pakistan has risen to 24, a Pakistan army spokesman has said.
Twenty-nine others were also hurt when the convoy was hit in the remote tribal region of North Waziristan. Major General Waheed Arshad admitted the attack could be linked to the storming of the Red Mosque this week. Troops have been sent close to the area amid fears militants may be planning a “holy war” in response to the siege. . .
Thousands of troops have been moved into the province as President Pervez Musharraf vows to pursue his campaign of rooting out extremists. Although there is no new deployment to Waziristan, militants there say the government has broken peace agreements by setting up checkpoints. Militant commander Abdullah Farhad told the Agence France-Presse news agency there could be “guerrilla war” if all checkpoints were not removed by Sunday.
Protests against the Red Mosque attack were held across the country on Friday. Demonstrators in Peshawar were told it was a “genocide” in which “hundreds of innocent women and children died”. In Islamabad, hundreds of demonstrators attended a rally organised by Pakistan’s main alliance of radical parties, the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal. “This carnage will prove to be the last nail in the coffin of Musharraf’s dictatorial rule in Pakistan,” the group’s deputy leader Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Hydri told the gathering.
“Now there will be Red Mosques everywhere in Pakistan.”

A suicide bomber has attacked a military convoy killing at least 24 soldiers in northern Pakistan, as thousands of troops were deployed to thwart a call for holy war against the government.
The driver ploughed his explosives-laden vehicle into the convoy on a road near the village of Daznary in the North Waziristan region, detonating the device upon impact. Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said the dead and 29 others who were wounded had been transported by helicopters to hospitals, where some were in critical condition. The incident was one of the most lethal suicide attacks in recent months. . .

Suicide Attack Kills 24 Troops In Pakistan
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, July 14, 2007 (CBS) (excerpt)
This story was written by Farhan Bokhari, reporting for CBS News in Pakistan.
Pakistans security officials on Saturday warned against the danger of more al Qaeda-backed suicide attacks across the country, as the death toll mounted from a suicide attack in the countrys tribal regions along the Afghan border. The attack on a paramilitary convoy in the north Waziristan region killed 24 soldiers while more than two dozen were injured, when a car packed with explosives rammed into a truck. This attack indicates the danger of more attacks being planned said a senior Pakistani official in Islamabad who spoke to CBS News on the condition of anonymity. The attack was linked by Pakistani officials to al Qaeda.
Earlier in the week, Ayman Al Zawahiri, the second-highest-ranking al Qaeda leader in his latest video message release, condemned Pakistans pro-U.S. military ruler General Pervez Musharraf for his decision to send troops to storm a “Taliban”-styled mosque in the centre of Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.
The lal (red) mosque and its adjoining womens seminary known as jamia-e-hifza were at the center of months of standoff with the government after they threatened to enforce Taliban-type Islamic laws. . .
