Al-Qaeda deputy releases new video
A new video of Osama Bin Laden's right hand man Ayman al-Zawahri has appeared on the Internet, reports ITN.
"The 95-minute film features al-Zawahri urging all Muslims to join forces in holy war against the West.
He says: "The first thing which our beloved brothers in Iraq must realise is the critical nature of unity, and that it is the gateway to victory.
"The mujahideen are not innocent of deficiency, error and slips, because they are humans who are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. ...
The lengthy tape then included video excerpts such as footage from Thomas Kean, the Chair of the September 11 Commission, stating that al-Qaeda was one of the biggest security threats ever faced by the US.
In what appeared a similar attempt to convince Muslim viewers of al-Qaeda's might, the tape then inserted quotes from an Arab newspaper commentator stating he believed the terrorist group remained as strong as before."
