Zawahri tape taunts Bush and Blair

Tuesday January 31, 2006


Ayman al-Zawahri, al-Qaida's second in command, taunted George Bush and Tony Blair in a new video recording screened last night.

In his first appearance since being targeted by a US air strike in Pakistan, he said the wives of servicemen killed or injured in the Iraq war should blame the president and the prime minister.

He described Mr Bush as the "butcher of Washington" and a "failure", and also condemned the Pakistani president, Pervez Musharraf, calling him a "traitor".

He said the US had rejected a truce offer put forward by Bin Laden in his latest audio tape.

"Your leaders responded to the initiative of Sheikh Osama, may God protect him, by saying they don't negotiate with terrorists and that they are winning the war on terror.

"I tell them: You liars, greedy warmongers, who is pulling out from Iraq and Afghanistan? Us or you? Whose soldiers are committing suicide because of despair? Us or you?"
