    Read in the context of Doug Hagmann’s explanation of al battar, is this a simple misunderstanding or something more sinister? From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating what led to the two-and-a-half hour delay of a Tuesday flight from Atlanta to Houston, an agency spokeswoman said Wednesday morning.

    The eighteenth issue of Al Battar demonstrates the galvanizing effect of communications from Al Qaeda’s leadership on the movement. Enthusiastic citations of a recently released audiotape from Ayman Al-Zawahiri run through the entire magazine. In the lead editorial, Al-Farouq Al-Aamiri writes: “Thanks to God, the tape . . . proved the important fact that, despite all the lies and controversy pursued by the Americans, the Islamic Army in Al-Qaeda is triumphant on the battlefield, unlike Bush’s victories, which are only on the pages of the ‘New York Times’ and the ‘Washington Post.’” The news section focuses on the Al-Zawahiri tape,...
