BBC News breaking


An audio tape said to have been recorded by a senior member of the al-Qaeda network has been broadcast by Arabic television channel al-Jazeera.

The speaker is identified as Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama Bin Laden's deputy.

He calls for organised resistance against invading "crusaders" in the Muslim world.

He also says it is the duty of every Muslim to liberate "Palestine", and says the West is complicit in the deaths of Palestinian militant leaders.

[soothsayer]

1. Rove at work again. n/t

[skylarmae]

6. Georgie Porgie wouldn't - would he?

Where's this instinct coming from.
Responsible for tapes, too??

[Amigust]

19. Of course he would, and we can expect whatever it takes

to detract from Kerry's success over him.

By all means, keep playing the fear card.

[rfranklin]

2. Voice analysis shows that...

the tape was actually narrated by Karl Rove.

[tranche]

13. After a 2nd listening the rough interpretation says, "vote for Kerry".

[msanthrope]

18. It only does that when you play it backwards......eom

[demnan]

3. We'll soon have the Orange Alert

This won't even be an October "surprise".

[SOS]

12. I'm surprised

Ridge didn't announce an orange alert this morning based on the debate.
They're probably waiting til we get closer to to the election to run the 27th terror alert of the past 3 years.

[notadmblnd]

4. It's just so obvious..

did the terra-ist have anything new and original to say or was it just the samew old meme?

[Paradise]

5. * administration will be hitting on all fronts, now...

saw on the news this morning that u.s. and iraqi forces launched major offensive around midnight last night in iraq (don't know if that's our time or iraqi time).

7. Was the return address for the White House basement?

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - An audio tape purportedly released by Osama bin Laden's deputy calls for attacks on U.S. and British interests everywhere, according to a broadcast Friday by Al-Jazeera television...........


The speaker on the latest tape calls on Muslims ``not to wait any longer, otherwise, we will be devoured, one country after the other,'' according to Al-Jazeera.

``The youth must not wait for anyone and must begin resisting from now and learn a lesson from Iraq and Afghanistan and Chechnya.''

In addition to the United States and Britain, al-Zawahri singled out Australia, France, Poland, Norway, South Korea and Japan, saying they had all participated in occupying Afghanistan, Iraq or Chechnya and gave Israel the ``means of survival.'' ............

[leQ]

20. why isn't anybody asking about osama not getting any face time

this is the third tape from al-qaeda, and yet no osama.
it's not like him is it? why isn't anybody asking about his noticeable absense.

[mountainvue]

9. What interesting

timing. Just in time for George's ass whipping in the debates, here comes Al Qaeda.

[AmandaRuth]

10. this is exactly what Kerry said in the debates

our enemy is not in Iraq, it is al-Qaeda, and they are now operating in 50 countries, thanks to boosh tying up almost all of our resources in Iraq.

[milkyway]

11. Now we know bush still employs bin Laden.

[Wind Dancer]

14. Of course!

Next comes the terra "alert color coding elevation" just as we expected. Shall we guess a day for the next attack?

[Catfight]

15. WE have our strong leader who isn't going to send any mexxed messages

to Osma! Like allowing his family to fly out of the US on Sept 13, 2001! HELL NO! WE've got George Wittle Bush!

[delete_bush]

16. Perfectly understandable

they realize, after watching the debate, that there is very little time to strike before a real leader wipes them out.

[Eurobabe]

17. Kerry's ABUZZ< need to drag out the BOOGIEMEN!!

[Digit]

21. I was thinking this very thing after the debate

Kerry kicked *'s ass so solidly that I figured it was time for the terra alerts. So very predictable.
