Looks like these top Taliban aides are having a bad day. Two of them, Mullah Jahangir and Mullah Mohid, are aides to Taliban leader Mullah Omar. You'll notice that they are said to handle Mullah Omar's personal correspondence.

On top of these two, two field commanders also in custody.

BBC:

An Afghan intelligence source told the BBC four senior associates of Mullah Omar were being held after operations by Pakistani security forces.

The arrests took place in two areas of the city of Quetta in western Pakistan.

The source said those arrested included two men responsible for Mullah Omar's letters and communications....

Others now in detention are said to be Mullah Nazir, who was Taleban commander in the southern Afghan province of Uruzgan, and Mullah Tahir, the former Taleban commander for the capital, Kabul.

UPDATE: Full video added below
------------------

A banner from al Qaeda's as Sahab video hit the Islamic forums yesterday announcing "a happy event". Speculation on the forums was that the video would show Osama bin Laden, a sentiment echoed in this Pravda piece. To the disappointment of Osama's millions of fans, though, the video is actually of al Qaeda #2 man, Ayman al Zawahiri.

Seriously, they're practically in tears with disappointment. On one forum, when it was suggested that no OBL video would be forthcoming, the gnashing of teeth was nearly audible.

I actually rushed to my computer when I heard the Fox News report about the new bin Laden video. Big news, I thought. But wouldn't you know it that my friend Laura Mansfield had the video, before it was released on the forums. Maybe Fox will think about subscribing to her service? Just a suggestion. Anyway, I really appreciate the heads up she gave me.

Laura notes that the video does not reference the London attacks, and is mostly put together from old clips. However, it is subtitled in English.

Laura Mansfield:

The video, entitled “The Advice of One Concerned”, is 1 hour, 34 minutes long, and includes clips from other videos and news broadcasts, including one from Al Furqan, the video production arm of the Islamic State of Iraq.

The video does not reference the London attacks, but appears to be more of a “state of the ummah” style address intended to try and provide advice to the Muslim world in a manner similar to the “fireside chat”.

He provides advice to the people of Iraq, and of Palestine. He reiterates the call for young men to rush to the jihad in Iraq and Afghanistan, and includes a video clip of Sheikh Abdullah Azzam reminding the Muslim ummah that jihad is the responsibility of every Muslim.

He rebukes the mujahideen of Fateh for battling HAMAS, and tells them to “Return to your religion, your Islam, your honor and your Arabness.”

The Blotter, which got it's information from Laura adds:

The video also features a brief clip of Thomas Kean, chairman of the 9/11 Commission, speaking about the security challenges facing the United States. Also appearing on the tape is a clip of Abdul al-Bari Atwan, the editor of a London-based Arabic newspaper. In the clip, from an appearance on an Arabic news channel, Atwan declares that al Qaeda has become stronger since the September 11th attacks and that it is truly an international organization.

Zawahiri also encourages greater support for the Islamic State of Iraq despite it lacking “necessary qualifications”, courts Kurds to join jihad, and lauds Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the deceased Emir of al-Qaeda in Iraq, formerly Tawhid Wal Jihad, for his opening of a path for greater unity in the ranks of Mujahideen by being among the first to pledge to Usama bin Laden and join al-Qaeda. He adds that other groups have also joined the organization, though they prefered that this news not yet be announced, but the declarations will come soon. Iraq is also the launchpad from which Zawahiri launches his diatribe against Saudi Arabia, using aforementioned evidence to warn that Iraq will fall if the Saudis gain significant influence in its politics.

So, will Pakistan ever get serious with al Qaeda? Or is this a hopeful sign that someone has again threatened to bomb them back into the stone age if they didn't go after our enemies and that al Qaeda and their sympathizers are once again on the run in Pakistan?

UPDATE: I now have a copy of the high production value video which has now been released. Just e-mail me for the video.

Update II: Howie has uploaded a medium sized copy to Google Video Here. Embedded copy below the fold

Update III by Vinnie: Zawahiri, dude, I just came back from blowing up hundreds of dollars of fireworks while simultaneously downing a beer or ten. Why you want to harsh my mellow? It's not like you're going to win this war. Go back to your cave, shut your f*cking mouth, and let us enjoy our holiday for once.

F*cking moron.

UPDATE IV by Rusy 7/05/07: Video still below. Thanks to Charles "blogfather" Johnson for the link and welcome fellow lizaraoid minions who (for the newbies) will be happy to know that I started out in LGF's comments section way back when.

For complete blog reaction to the video, check out Stop the ACLU.

Update by Howie: Higher quality copy with more legible subtitles here. I don't know why old callous head does this. As Laura Mansfield recently pointed out to me, Zawahiri speaks fairly fluent English. more...

Pffft, why we are going to win, number 6325: these guys. (And the US has lots of these people in the service of the nation, thank God.) Short story, Apache helicopter pilot gives his seat to crashed, stranded fellow pilot under fire and the Apache flies out with the Apache pilot strapped to the wing and the other pilot who crashed is in his seat:

ABC News: The OH-58 Kiowa reconnaissance helicopter flown by Chief Warrant Officers Mark Burrows and Steven Cianfrini was flying a routine mission in support of ground troops when it was forced down by heavy gunfire.Burrows and Cianfrini survived the crash landing with only minor cuts and bruises, but came under immediate ground fire as the insurgents who had shot them continued to fire on the aircraft....

Having already sent out a distress signal, the pilots soon heard American aircraft overhead. Burrows made visual contact with a Kiowa helicopter from their unit that guided an Apache helicopter to their position on the ground.Apaches are narrow two-seater attack helicopters where the pilot sits behind the co-pilot. Designed to carry missiles on its wingmounts, there is no room on the aircraft for additional passengers.

When the Apache landed, Burrows said the co-pilot got out of his front seat to make sure they weren't injured. He then strapped Cianfrini into his seat and closed the hatch.The Apache pilot then led Burrows to the gun mount on the left side of the helicopter. "I then sat on a ledge up against the engine and clipped in with a little safety harness strap," said Burrows. "The Apache pilot then went to the other side of the helicopter where he strapped himself in as well."

Once both pilots were safely strapped to the gun mounts, the Apache took off for a Baghdad airstrip. The Apache pilots quickly unloaded their passengers then took off again to continue with their original mission.

Happy Fourth of July everybody, these are the people that ensure liberty. There are thousands of heroes that came before them. Soldiers, sailors and others that paid for freedom and for the security of the US with their courage and sometimes their lives. These two guys strapped to the outside of a helicopter for a forty minute ride are just happy everybody made it out, they say. But this is the heart and soul of America and has always been. The pilot unflinchingly gave his seat to the wounded guy and took the ride strapped to the engine. These are amazing people. They are not the first and not the last, but they are astounding and awe inspiring.

Update by Howie: I saw this was posted today on DVIDS. It had over 8000 views. That is very high for there so I just happen to have that one. I've not seen it yet but here it is.

A great post at Riehlworldview

....we do not celebrate freedom won on July 4th, only freedom proclaimed. We celebrate a beginning, an ideal, today: freedom desired, certainly not yet achieved. And for that desire, of approximately 217,000 serving, 6,188 were wounded and 4,435 died* before America was ever truly free at all, except of course perhaps where it mattered most, in the deep and resounding thump of the American patriot's heart.

And that same ideal beats strongly in the hearts of American patriots today, many, no doubt, currently serving in Iraq. And there it beats in time with the murmured heart of what might one day be a new freedom, a new nation, no longer subject to the cruel tyranny of its past: a new nation of new patriots hopefully equipped to secure the cause of freedom in its portion of the world one day soon without so much of our now necessary help.

If you are true to this day, this July 4th, a day of freedom's beginning with it's difficult end still seven long costly years off and at the time completely unknown, if you say you are true to it, yet can advocate abandoning the weaker but just as freedom longing heart we fight alongside of in Iraq, then, I'm sorry, you are no patriot of freedom at all, my friend. At least, certainly not the kind of patriot we salute today when we celebrate only the day we realized what we wanted and steeled ourselves for the long battle that lie ahead to get it, whatever the cost. I simply cannot believe any genuine patriot of freedom would deny millions of people even the slimmest of opportunities to live under the tremendous gift so many of our forefathers died to give us, the citizens of what has become the boldest and most inspiring and beautiful nation ever known to man: the United States Of America.

Remember when the anti-war left bitched over and over about limiting images of soldiers flag draped coffins returning home. They claimed that Bush was just trying to hide casualties, even though the casualty lists are posted daily and the MSM never misses a chance to report them.

The following was taken from a Hamas in Iraq propganda video. Hamas in Iraq is a new group that formed when the 1920's Revolution Brigades split onto two factions. One faction turned to fight al-Qaeda in Iraq, the other became Hamas in Iraq.

This shows the real reason that the miltary wants to limit the use of these images. They end up in enemy propganda. more...

Al-Zawahiri urged Hamas to implement Islamic law in Gaza, telling it, "Taking over power is not a goal but a means to implement God's word on earth."

"Unite with mujahedeen (holy warriors) in Palestine ... and with all mujahedeen in the world in the face of the upcoming attack where Egyptians and Saudis are expected to play part of it," he added, suggesting that the two countries intend to attack Hamas to uproot its control of Gaza.

"Provide them (Hamas) with money, do your best to get it there, break the siege imposed on them by crusaders and Arab leaders traitors," al-Zawahiri, who is Usama bin Laden's top deputy, said, addressing Muslims around the world. "Facilitate weapons smuggling from neighboring countries."

"We can support them by targeting the crusader and Zionist interest wherever we can," al-Zawahiri said.

The video is 25 minutes long and features a short clip of Zawahri and Osama bin-Laden back in the glory days, accompanied by a still picture of Zawahiri and a mind-numbing audio track. I've already posted the good part of the visuals above. I'll post the transcript when it becomes available.

A video from al Qaeda in Afghanistan's as Sahab media foundation shows a new al Qaeda advanced rocket guidance system. The short propaganda video claims to show Taliban fighters firing rockets against an American base in Afghanistan on April 8, 2007. The video, part of the "Holocaust of the Americans in the land of Khorasan", series shows several men preparing the "BM" rockets and then firing them, although it is unclear whether or not the rockets do anything but explode since the video suddenly ends with a loud explosion, the camera seems to fall, and a lot of dust is in the air.

But this time it's different.

Via The Australian: GROWING up in Vancouver, I attended an Islamic school every Saturday. There, I learned that Jews can't be trusted because they worship "moolah, not Allah", meaning money, not God. According to my teacher, every last Jew is consumed with business.

But looking around my neighbourhood, I noticed that most of the new business signs featured Asian languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Punjabi and plenty of Urdu. Not Hebrew, Urdu, which is spoken throughout Pakistan.

That reality check made me ask: What if my religious school isn't educating me? What if it's indoctrinating me?

I'm reminded of this question thanks to the news that Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses and 10 other works of fiction, will be knighted by the Queen.

On Monday, Pakistan's religious affairs minister said that because Rushdie had blasphemed Islam with provocative literature, it was understandable that angry Muslims would commit suicide bombings over his knighthood.

Members of parliament, as well as the Pakistani Government, amplified the condemnation of Britain, feeding cries of offence to Muslim sensibilities from Europe to Asia.

As a Muslim, you better believe I'm offended - by these absurd reactions.

Islam: Religion of Irony. The bad kind.

The sign says, "Hand over Rushdie to Pakistan for trial in Shariat". The maximum sentence for blaspheming Mohammed, as Rushdie is accused of, is death.

UPDATE: David makes an important point:

Given jihadists pointedly cite Muhammad’s own purported ‘revelations’ as their mandate and motive, how can the spread of Islamic terrorism be resisted if Muhammad and his teachings remain beyond criticism?

As promised al-Furqan Media, the propaganda company for al-Qaeda and The Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), has murdered the 14 Iraqis they were holding hostage. True to form, the 14 hostages were not held the three days promised by the al Qaeda front group for their demands to be met.

The Jawa Report has obtained a copy of the video. Graphic frames and video below, after extensive content warnings.

Site Institute: The Islamic State of Iraq, three days after issuing a video depicting fourteen employees of the Iraqi Ministries of Interior and Defense who were indicated to have been captured in northeastern Baghdad, and making demands of the Iraqi government for their release, following the expiration of the ultimatum issued the execution video to jihadist forums today, Thursday, June 14, 2007.

The 1:30 minute clip was produced and distributed by the group's al-Furqan Foundation for Media Production. Shown are the captured men bound and blindfolded sitting in a field, the executor walking down the line shooting each with one bullet in the back of the head.

5 There will come a time when this man who appears in the video as the shooter will look into a mirror and hide from his "self" the evil that we see in this video.  I don't know when or how he will work around his reality, but I know he will carry this with him to his death.

The sad part, for me, is that I found myself wishing there would be an American sniper team that had a bead on this evil asshole just as he was loading up for the first set of head shots, taking him down as he raised his pistol for the first shot, with a bullet that tore his head from his shoulders in a violent splatter of blood and debris!

I guess one could say I find this evil.  To think that early on and even today there are Americans who say we need to be more sensitive to those in the Middel East and those who cry elsewhere for Islam to be the political rule of the day!  Bullshit!  We should have capped Sadr's ass a long time ago, and all his fellow brothers.

We will see these bastards on our front doors if we're not careful.  We need to really wake up as a country, in my opinion.  Nightmares are here!

Then accuse us of creatng all the problems in the middle east because we did this or didn't do that.  We are busting our ass to give Iraq a chance.  I'm not very optimistic about it, You know arabs, never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Because if they try and fail it is dishonor, so they don't really try much and bitch about how they live.  See how this works?  One of these days it will be too late....might be now.  No telling how long we'll have to stay there and kill idiots.

David Thomson sends this item. Just how are you supposed to oppose oppression without attacking or offending the sensibilities and doctrines of those who doing the oppressing?

Via David Thompson: It seems rather difficult to “take a firm stand against the oppression of women in any form” without challenging the specific religious ideas and specific religious laws that are used to justify and perpetuate the oppression one is supposedly taking a stand against. How, for instance, does one deal with the “respected” Andalusian imam, Mohammed Kamal Mostafa, whose book, The Islamic Woman, advises Muslim men on how to beat “rebellious” women without leaving visible signs of injury, in accord with Muhammad’s teachings? How, exactly, does one challenge Mostafa’s assertions - and the assertions of others like him - without also challenging the “sacred” ideas that are invoked as an unassailable religious mandate? And how does one take “a firm stand” without suggesting, at least by implication, that those “religious sentiments” are wrong and disgusting on very important issues?

“Believing” in the equality of women is very easy and conveniently vague, especially if one is unwilling to challenge the means by which cruelty and coercion are perpetuated, justified and enforced. Unless one is prepared to address the theological nuts and bolts of the matter, and prepared to risk offending some religious “sentiments”, it’s hard to see what kind of “firm stand” has actually been taken.

There I’ve done it. World peace in 5...4…3…

The a-Furqan media, a propaganda outlet for the al-Qaeda front a group The Islamic State of Iraq, has released a video that claims to contain the ID cards and personal effects of of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, 25, of Lawrence, Mass., and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, 19, of Waterford, Mich.

Via Laura Mansfield: The Islamic State of Iraq Monday has released a video of the military identification cards of two missing American soldiers. There was no indication in the video whether the two soldiers are dead or alive, and there were no demands set for their release.

The video included a still image of the photo identifications of Spc. Alex R. Jimenez, 25, of Lawrence, Mass., and Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, 19, of Waterford, Mich.

Above the photos, written in Arabic, was the message, "Bush is the reason for the loss of your prisoners."

ABC’s The Blotter has a short segment of the video here. Laura has a complete copy available for download here.

Vicki no Veil has more here.

Update, Laura has completed intial analysis of the video. No proof is given that these men are alive or dead. She says,

"In short, there is no credible indication from this video of the fate of these two soldiers other than the claims of a jihadist group.

UPDATE 05/30/07 a.m: The incredibly lucky photog got a second photo of a "missile" on the same day.
-----------

The Seattle Times ran this as their "photo of the day". What's wrong with this picture? (Click for bigger pic)

Here is the caption from the Seattle Times:

Palestinians run as a rocket falls at them during an Israeli air strike on the Hamas Executive Force building in Nusseirat refugee camp in the centre of the Gaza strip, Friday. Warplanes pounded the Gaza Strip for a ninth day as Palestinians continued to fire rockets into Israel despite a call from Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas for a truce.

I'm also guessing that the guy in the green soccer shirt wouldn't be able to follow said "missile" with his eyes. Notice how he appears to be looking right at the incoming "missile".

So, is this a case of a "doctored photo"?

Here's a close up of the "missile" from the largest version of the photo I could find, and which I've only blown up to about triple the original size.

If it's a photoshop, it's a good one. Notice the squarish pixelization around the "missile". Maybe some one who is better at digital photography or at Pshopping than me can explain that. Just an artifact of blowing it up? But the bluring around the "missile" can also be seen in the original, just sharper edges when you blow it up.

The photo is attributed to "MAHMUD HAMS / AFP/GETTY IMAGES". How fast was Mahbud Hams camera? So fast that he not only caught the missile just before it struck, but just after it struck too. A Peter Parker moment? (click for bigger)

Doing a quick search of Yahoo News Photos, here are a few related pics. Yahoo News Photos did not pick up on the photo showing the "missile", but it did carry the followup photos by Mahmud Hams of the "missile strike" at Nusseirat. Only they're not all attributed to Mahmud Hams.....

And, wouldn't you know it, another hallmark of fauxtography: the swarm carrying the "injured child".

Here is a video of American al Qaeda member Adam "Azzam al-Amreki" Yahiye Gadahn promised earlier. Why won't this guy die? Every time I see him I want to vomit.

Laura Mansfield has the complete transcript.

Adam makes six demands on behalf of al Qaeda:

1) Pull all U.S. troops out of Muslim lands. But I thought pulling out of Iraq would make al Qaeda stop? Oh:

And let us be clear. A pull-out from Iraq alone in the absence of compliance with the remainder of our legitimate demands will get you nowhere and will not save you from our strikes.

SO stop wasting your time, and trying to save face with these futile, farsical maneuvers on Capitol Hill and start making some serious moves.

3) End aid to Israel. They hate the J-O-Os.

4) Allow Muslims to establish sharia law. This means that we should not interfere when they start killing apostates and stoning adultresses.

5) Stop all broadcasts to the Middle East. Apparently, they don't like CBN as much as they despise Spice. Especially broadcasts which try to alterfaith, minds, morals, and valuesSuch liberty loving people!

6) Free all Muslims from our jails.

A final parting shot:

This is not a call for negotiations. We don’t negotiate with baby killers and war criminals like you.
