If He Had A Bullet In His Teeth Already He Would Not Be On The Net Spouting POETRY...
Purported Tape of al-Zawahri Posted on Web
By Omar Sinan / Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt - An audiotape purportedly from al-Qaida's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri, was posted Friday on an Islamic Web site in which he read a poem praising "martyrs of holy war" in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.
The tape made no mention of a Jan. 13 U.S. airstrike in Pakistan that was targeting al-Zawahri and killed four al-Qaida leaders.
Officials at two U.S. counterterror agencies said the recording does not appear to have been made recently and may even date back years. They described the recording as a poetry reading praising martyrs of wars in Afghanistan, but it was not immediately clear whether that referred to the Northern Alliance action against the Taliban after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, or even to the Afghanistan war with the Soviets in the 1980s.
The CIA was conducting a voice analysis to determine whether the speaker was al-Zawahri, a CIA official said.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss the matter on the record.
Al-Zawahri was not believed to have been among those killed in the Jan. 13 strike. If the tape is new and authentic, it would be al-Zawahri's first statement since the attack.
The 17-minute tape was posted on an Islamic militant Web forum a day after al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden released his first audiotape in more than a year, threatening new attacks in the United States and offering Americans a conditional truce.
The purported al-Zawahri tape made no statement, and instead the voice on it was heard reading a long poem honoring "martyrs of jihad," or holy war.
He dedicated the poem to "all Muslim brothers everywhere, to the mujahedeen (holy warrior) brothers in Islam's fortified borderlines against the Zionist-Crusader campaign in Palestine and Iraq, Afghanistan and Chechnya."
Continues,.. if you do not mind the nausea....
--Every time we drop a bomb from a plane.
EVERY SHOT FIRED. Every road side device going boom.
EVERY car bomb that Iraqis blow up...
THAT is the sound of osama bin laden laughing EXPLOSIVELY at one man.
