New Audiotape from Al-Qaida Leader Ayman al-Zawahiri
Al-Jazeera has broadcast a new audio recording attributed to senior Al-Qaida deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri. The tape calls upon young Muslims, “Don’t wait for the American, British, French, South Korean, Hungarian and Polish forces to enter Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen and Algeria to start the resistance... We should start the resistance from now... The interests of the Americans [and their allies] are everywhere."

Adam Gadahn's Voice Matched to Al-Qaida Video on 9/11 Hijackers
The voice of an alleged American Al-Qaida terrorist operative featured in a video broadcast last week has been matched to audio taken from a previous As-Sahab video production documenting the planning behind the September 11, 2001 suicide hijackings. During the latter video from November 2001, "Azzam al-Amriki" applauds the mission of the 9/11 hijackers to "destroy the economic fortresses" of America.

U.K. Terror Suspect Threatens Dirty Bombs in U.S.
A new report is now available for download from Globalterroralert.com profiling Al-Qaida operative Abu Musab al-Suri (a.k.a. Mustafa Setmariam Nasar), rumored as a possible culprit in last week's deadly terror bombings in central London. In December 2004, al-Suri issued a statement on the Internet explaining, "if I had been consulted about [the September 11] operation, I would have advised them to select aircraft on international flights and to have put weapons of mass destruction aboard them... now that the American administration has revealed the evil and wickedness of its forces... it is not a far cry from justice to adopt the slogan, ‘Dirty Bombs for a Dirty Nation’... Let the American people—those who voted for killing, destruction, the looting of other nations’ wealth, megalomania, and the desire to control others—be contaminated with radiation!"

A Chilling Final Threat from Abu Musab al-Suri
Abu al-Tawab al-Shami--the official spokesman of most wanted Al-Qaida terrorist training camp manager Abu Musab al-Suri (a.k.a. Omar Abdel Hakim, Mustafa Setmariam Nasar)--has confirmed the latter's capture by coalition forces sometime in September 2005, and has also made available a final audio message from Abu Musab responding to the July 2005 London bombings. During the recording, Abu Musab denied having played any significant role in recent terrorist attacks in Europe--but conceded to having trained American and British nationals at Al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan and further ordered his supporters "to act quickly and strike Britain, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Australia, Russia, France... They must either strike the territory of these countries or targets that are outside of their borders. O’ sleeper cells, wake up now!"

Excerpts from Zawahiri's Latest Audio Recording
On January 18, credible Al-Qaida chat forums on the Internet began to announce that Al-Qaida’s As-Sahab Media Wing was due to release a new audio recording of Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. Yesterday afternoon, these chat forums posted copies of a 17-minute long recording by Zawahiri extolling the “martyrs” of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad Movement. Zawahiri concludes by reading a lengthy poem originally conceived by a mujahideen Mullah in Afghanistan. Although the voice on the audio is almost certainly that of Zawahiri, it is unclear how recently the speech was actually recorded.

American Greases Al-Qaida Media Machine
Al-Qaida has dramatically increased its media presence over the last year, capped off recently by a flurry of highly polished video and audio messages from fugitive leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri. But it is the videotaped rants of a 27-year-old American terrorist named Adam Gadahn that offer the most intriguing clues about the mechanics of al-Qaida’s propaganda machine and the sort of individual the shadowy terror organization is seeking to recruit.

In late 2001 or early 2002, the U.S. government was able to recover a video recording from a suspected Al-Qaida facility in Afghanistan. The video includes meetings of an elite gathering of top Al-Qaida leaders——including Usama Bin Laden; Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s reported successor at the head of Al-Qaida’s international terrorist operations, Abu Faraj al-Liby; 9/11 organizer Ramzi Bin al-Shibh; and 9/11 hijackers Mohammed Atta and Ziad Jarrah.
