New al-Qaida Video Calls for Jihad

Wednesday July 4, 2007 10:01 PM

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Al-Qaida's No. 2 has issued a new
video tape calling on Muslims to unite in jihad, or holy
war, and support the Islamist movement in Iraq, a U.S.-
based intelligence monitoring group said Wednesday.

Ayman al-Zawahri is seen in the one-hour and 35 minutes
tape dressed in white and addressing topics from Iraq to
Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian territories and Egypt, said
the U.S.-based SITE intelligence group, which monitors
al-Qaida messages.

The group said it had obtained the tape ahead of its
release on the Internet by militant web sites, and issued
a transcript of al-Zawahri's remarks. The authenticity of
the transcript could not be immediately verified.

In the tape, al-Zawahri encouraged Iraqis and Muslims in
general to show greater support for the Islamic State of
Iraq, an al-Qaida insurgent front in the country, even
though it lacks “necessary qualifications”, the SITE
group quoted al-Zawahri as saying.
