Al Qaeda Promises Revenge For Al-Libi
Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) — Al-Qaeda deputy commander Ayman al- Zawahiri vowed to avenge the death of a commander fighting NATO- led forces in Afghanistan, according to a U.S.-based group that monitors extremist Web sites.
Zawahiri made the threat in a videotaped eulogy to Abu Laith al-Libi, who was killed in Pakistan’s tribal region last month, according to a transcript e-mailed today by IntelCenter.
“No chief of ours has died a natural death. Nor has our blood been spilled without a response,” Zawahiri said in the 10-minute recording released yesterday by al-Qaeda’s media production group, as-Sahab.
Al-Libi was a senior leader in Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network. The U.S. military has said he helped organize the Feb. 27, 2007, bombing of an American air base at Bagram, Afghanistan, which killed 23 people. Vice President Dick Cheney, who was visiting, escaped uninjured.
Al-Libi was responsible for setting up al-Qaeda training camps in eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistani border, Xenia Dormandy, a former White House and State Department official now at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said in an interview last month.
He may have been killed in an attack by an unmanned U.S. aircraft on a site in Pakistan, Dormandy said.
`Hunting Dogs’
Al-Libi “made the Americans drink draughts of death,” said Zawahiri, according to IntelCenter. He tore Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf’s “hunting dogs apart limb by limb in his ambushes and raids.”
The company, based in Alexandria, Virginia, provides counterterrorism intelligence support to the U.S., British, Australian and Canadian armed forces.
Zawahiri, an Egyptian-born cleric, makes frequent video and audio addresses for al-Qaeda. He said in a videotape released in September the U.S. is being defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A month earlier, he called on Pakistani Muslims to attack Musharraf to avenge an army assault on pro-Taliban clerics in the capital, Islamabad.
The U.S. says al-Qaeda has established bases in Pakistan’s tribal region bordering Afghanistan and funds Islamic militant groups waging a guerrilla war against President Hamid Karzai’s government.

Big talk from the cave-dweller who’s scared of his own shadow. Why don’t you come out and fight old man? Or are you afraid of death? LOL. You hypocritical slime ball.
Note: Guess this means the goat-herder’s second in command wasn’t among the 13 towel-head bitches killed the other day.
No problem. He’s going to get his turn at justice soon enough. Can you as BOOM..as in JADAM BOOM?
March 1st, 2008 at 4:13 amI’m REALLY interested in IDing the bodies now. Zawaqueeri sounds like we took out some of his favorite butt buddies. The suspense builds!!
March 1st, 2008 at 6:38 amYes indeed, certainly sounds like his dingle berries are tangled up and has no one to untangle them. Let’s get those bodies IDed!
On the other hand, he swears vengence on everything anyway. So what else is new?
I guess his doesn’t like (as luney Ron Paul puts it) our blowback to them.

Maynard, I was thinking exactly the same thing. If we don’t hear anything out of this goat-humper again for months…the likelihood that he died in Wed’s predator attack are pretty high.
