Sept. 29 - Another nifty

Sept. 29 - Another nifty new tape has surfaced and been aired by the footsoldiers of al Qaeda (no, not CNN.) The voice is believed to be that of al Qaeda deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri and his message is that the US targets Islam and complains about a Jewish Crusade but doesn't warn about any imminent attacks on the West.

The tape, aired in excerpts on Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya, appeared to be recent, as the speaker referred to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's visit to India earlier this month and the September 6 resignation of Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.

"The crusade camp that is led by America and its allies from the infidels and hypocrites is targeting Islam and Muslims, even if it claims that it is fighting terrorism. ... This campaign is seeking to abolish Islam as a doctrine and a law," the voice said.

He said that what the West called terrorism was the Muslim's jihad.

The voice identified as al-Zawahri urged Muslims to "resist this Jewish crusade".

He also claims that the portion of the Sept. 11 hearing report that was blacked out contained a recommendation calling on the Saudi government to be barred from printing and distributing the Koran, and attacks Pakistan Pres. Musharref.

Bin Laden was neither seen or heard.
