More al Qaeda family members: Zawahiri's mother

And he is definitely the kind of son only a mother could love...

From AKI:

Jihadist websites were flooded with messages of condolences to Al-Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri over his mother's death. Umayma Azzam, died from a heart complaint in the Egyptian capital, Cairo on Sunday, at the age of 75. She died at Cairo's al-Salam hospital, where she was admitted earlier last week.

In a message posted to the Arabic news website Moheet, Azzam's brother Mahfouz al-Azzam said he was proud of his nephew al-Zawahiri who he said "defends the principles of Islam". (ed. note: I'd be investigating the uncle and the whole damn family)

Al-Azzam announced his sister's death and said she was buried on Sunday in a high-security ceremony at a local mosque in the Cairo suburb of Halwan. Almost everyone in the town attended the funeral, according to witnesses. (ed. note: And I'd be putting "everyone in the town" under the microscope, too. But that's just me.)

The Azzam family is one of the most prominent in Cairo. Mahfouz al-Azzam, a retired judge, was recently appointed the leader of the local Socialist party. Al-Zawahiri's maternal grandfather, Abdel Wahab Azzam, was rector of the University of Cairo and Egypt's ambassador to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. (ed. note: How convenient - both hotbeds of terror.)

The current whereabouts of 58-year-old al-Zawahiri are unknown. A qualified surgeon, he and Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and the top leadership of the terror network are believed to be hiding in Pakistan.

Zawahri says Libya killed man who linked Iraq, Qaeda

"You criminals, you murders, you vampires ... your blood will be spilled and your economy will be drained so that you stop your crimes ... We will take revenge for every mujahid, orphan, or Muslim you have killed," said an angry Zawahri in an apparent message to Americans.

Well we have not finished taking revenge upon the Koran worshiping Muslims Known as Al Qaida and the Taliban , We will not be done until you goat humping rejects , Stop threatening us ! get it ? You people started this , and in good old American Fashion , We WILL finish it !
al-Libi Got what he deserved , Death ! If he was telling the truth ,He killed himself because he was a Pussy , If he lied then they should be glad he is dead ,because His words were part of the go Ahead verdict for War !

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri accused Libya of torturing to death a militant whose confession was used to justify the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Libya's state prosecutor said in May that Libyan Ali Mohamed Abdelaziz al Fakhiri, also known as Ibn Sheikh al-Libi, committed suicide while serving a life jail sentence.

"A false confession was obtained from him through torture about a relationship between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein," Zawahri said in a video posted on an Islamist website.

Fakhiri made up the story about a link between Saddam and al Qaeda to avoid torture while in the custody of a third country, according to a 2006 U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee report.

U.S. human rights groups have said he gave the account to interrogators in Egypt, where he was sent by the United States in January 2002. Fakhiri later recanted, the committee said.

He was sent secretly to Libya by the United States in 2006, and Zawahri said al Qaeda would punish the United States for handing him over to Tripoli.

"They (Americans) have handed him over to the agents of (Libyan leader Muammar) Gaddafi to continue torturing him and kill him."

Daily times
DUBAI/ LAHORE: Al Qaeda’s second-in-command Ayman Al-Zawahri accused the US of leading a crusade to turn Pakistan from a Muslim nuclear power into a divided nation and urged Pakistanis to join jihad to resist.

Taliban were in a tug-of-war with the US-allied government as they push to make Pakistan a “citadel of Islam” in the region, Zawahri said.

“It is the individual duty of every Muslim in Pakistan to join the mujahedeen,” Zawahri said, reurters reported. “The crusade aims at eradicating the growing jihad nucleus in order to break up this nuclear capable country, and transform it into tiny fragments, loyal to and dependent on the neo-crusaders.” Meanwhile, according to a private TV Channel, Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden has criticised the policies of the Obama administration, saying they were a continuation of the previous regime. reuters/daily times monitor

Al Qaeda's Zawahri tells Hamas don't accept truce

Speaking of bloated windbags , Zawahiri pipes up again , asking followers of he Religion of peace to not listen to anyone about a truce ! He would prefer everyone just fight the Crusaders ! Even offering up some "Training" for the poor people who don't know how to fight ! Oh that Al Qaida organization , what a bunch of nice guy's !

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's second-in-command urged Palestinians in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip not to succumb to Arab pressure for a truce with Israel and vowed to support fighting against the Jewish state.

The militant leader in a recording posted on the Internet on Monday also called on Muslims in Yemen, Afghanistan and Somalia to press ahead with fighting "crusaders" -- a term used to denote the West -- and their agents.

"Israel's Arab aides are trying to impose a calm (truce) on the people of Gaza to stop their jihad ... I tell our brothers and folk in Gaza that jihad to liberate Palestine and all Islamic land should not stop," Ayman al-Zawahri said.

just joking about the nice guys thing !....

Egypt has been negotiating a truce between Hamas, which controls Gaza, and Israel following an Israeli offensive late in December in the coastal strip to punish Hamas for firing rockets at Israeli towns. About 1,300 Palestinians were killed.

"I reaffirm to our brothers the fighters in Gaza and everywhere that the mujahideen against crusaders in various battle zones are willing to give their brothers in Gaza and everywhere training and preparation," said Zawahri.

Without naming Hamas, which al Qaeda has often criticized for dropping suicide bombings to play a political role, Zawahri advised the Islamist group against blending with non-Islamist factions under the umbrella of the Palestine Liberation Organization, led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Pakistan: We just barely missed nabbing Zawahiri!

""We certainly had traced him at one place, but we missed the chance". Zawahiri probably got tipped off by the Pakistanis before they 'tried' to nab him. Jihad Watch

ISLAMABAD, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Pakistani security forces missed a chance to catch al Qaeda second in command Ayman al Zawahri, the government's senior Interior Ministry official said on Monday.

Zawahri and al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden have been in hiding since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and are both believed to be in ethnic Pashtun tribal lands that straddle northwest Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.[...]

Malik told a news conference Zawahri was moving between Pakistan's tribal areas and the eastern Afghan provinces of Kunar and Paktia.

"We certainly had traced him at one place, but we missed the chance. So he's moving in Mohmand and, of course, sometimes in Kunar, mostly in Kunar and Paktia," he said.

Zawahiri Threatens Musharraf in English

In a video or audio tape of al Qaida's 2nd in command, Zawahiri, called for an uprising against Musharraf and Pakistan....in English. It's a little weird when addressing Pakistani's to uprise against Musharraf and Pakistan and tells them in English. Was this video intended for us to hear?

Also, why bother learning English? Adam the fat Bastard Gadahn normally translates al Qaida videos into english. But lately their videos have been conspicousily missing English subtitles. Maybe Zawahiri had to learn English because the fat Bastard is dead. Guardian

Pakistan's embattled president, Pervez Musharraf, faced a direct challenge from al-Qaida today, with the terror group lambasting his record in a new video.

A person said to be the al-Qaida deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, spoke in English on the tape, calling for an uprising not only against Musharraf but the Pakistani state, which he said was "virtually ruled from the American embassy".

....

"Pervez has insulted and compromised Pakistan's sovereignty by allowing the CIA and FBI to operate freely in Pakistan and arrest, interrogate, torture, deport and detain any person, whether Pakistani or not, for as long as they like, thus turning the Pakistani army and security agencies into hunting dogs in the contemporary crusade," said Zawahiri.

Zawahiri denounced Musharraf in particular for the crackdown he ordered on Islamabad's radical Red Mosque - the army raid last year resulted in around 100 deaths - and his treatment of the renegade Pakistani nuclear scientist Dr AQ Khan, who has been under house arrest for four years.
