n a rare move, one of al-Qaida’s highest-ranking leaders has conducted an on-camera interview with a journalist and, in the process, called for the destruction of Pakistan’s government.

It was the first time since 2002 that any top al-Qaida official has taken the security risk of sitting down for an interview with a bonafide journalist.

Abu Mustafa al-Yazid, an Egyptian whom U.S. intelligence officials have identified as the al-Qaeda’s third highest-ranking official, sat for an interview with Najeeb Ahmad, a reporter for Geo TV. Geo TV is a private Pakistani television channel.

In the interview, Yazid, also known as Sheikh Saeed, called for the destruction of Pakistan’s government which he said had “betrayed” the jihadis. Yazid swore that al-Qaida would recapture Afghanistan. And he reiterated al-Qaida’s position that “all Americans, not just the American government” are the enemies of Islam.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “But the Taliban have not laid down their weapons after conducting peace talks with the government, nor have they stopped attack on the Pakistani military or across the border in Afghanistan.

The security situation in northwestern Pakistan and in neighboring Afghanistan has rapidly deteriorated since the government initiated its latest round of peace accords with the Taliban and allied extremists in the tribal areas and settled districts in the Northwest Frontier Province. Peace agreements have been signed with the Taliban in North Waziristan, Swat, Dir, Bajaur, Malakand, Mohmand, Khyber, and Orakzai.

Negotiations are under way in South Waziristan, Kohat, and Mardan. The Taliban have violated the terms of these agreements in every region where accords have been signed.

The Taliban, al Qaeda, and allied terrorist groups have established more than 100 terror camps in the tribal areas and the Northwest Frontier Province, US intelligence officials have told The Long War Journal.”

“Al-Qaeda Commander: Islam Doesn’t Distinguish Between American People, American Gov’t – Both Are Infidels and At War with Islam”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “On July 21, 2008, Pakistan’s independent television network Geo News aired an exclusive interview with Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid, Al-Qaeda’s No. 3 man and top commander in Afghanistan. The interview, conducted in Arabic, was broadcast on Geo News with a voiceover in Urdu. It was later posted on Islamist websites, and its content was published in Pakistani newspapers.

Abu Al-Yazid, also known as Sheikh Sa’id, is a 52-year-old Egyptian with two wives and 14 children. In 1981 he was arrested in Egypt for involvement in the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Al-Sadat, but was released a year later. In 1988, after heading various militant groups, he joined Al-Qaeda and shifted his base of operations to Afghanistan. In 1991 he worked for Osama bin Laden in Sudan as an accountant, and later became director of Al-Qaeda’s financial affairs. He has also been a member of Al-Qaeda’s Shura Council, in charge of financial planning, organizational affairs, and public relations. [1]
