Ah, and now we know what this "big announcement" was supposed to be. We knew it would only be a matter of time before Ayman al Zawahiri, al Qaeda's #2 man, spoke out against the British Knighting of Salmon Rushdie. This is the second time as Sahab, al Qaeda's production arm, has released a statement from Zawahiri this week. The Jawa Report has a copy of the statement, courtesy of Laura Mansfield's Strategic Translations.
The video--which is really just a still photo of Zawahiri accompanied by audio--is called "Malicious Britain and its Indian Slaves". SITE:
In response, Zawahiri threatens that a “very precise response†is in the stages of preparation, and addresses current Prime Minister Gordon Brown, stating: “The policy of your predecessor has brought tragedy and defeat upon you, not only in Afghanistan and Iraq but also in the center of London. And if you did not understand, listen, we are ready to repeat it for you, with the permission of Allah. We are sure that you have quite understood it.â€Word on the streets is that the planned action in Britain is supposed to be "bigger than 9/11". But isn't that what they're always saying?
Zawahiri goes on to praise the bombing of U.N. Peacekeepers in Southern Lebanon, and calls for jihad in Pakistan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Big words from a guy in a cave..........
