Qaida No. 2 urges attacks on Israel, US
Source: Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims in a new audiotape released Monday to strike Jewish and American targets in revenge for Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip earlier this month.

The al-Zawahri tape came on the heels of a message from Osama bin Laden, who called for a holy war to liberate the Palestinian territories — a new push by the terror network's leadership to use widespread anger over the Gaza violence to whip up support.

The authenticity of the 4 minute, 44-second audiotape could not be independently confirmed. But the voice on it resembled that of al-Zawahri on previous audio and videotapes confirmed to be his. It was posted on an Islamic militant Web site where al-Qaida usually releases its statements, and a banner advertising the tape had the logo of al-Qaida's media arm, Al-Sahab.

"Muslims, today is your day. Strike the interests of the Jews, the Americans, and all those who participated in the attack on Muslims," al-Zawahri said. "Monitor the targets, collect money, prepare the equipment, plan with precision, and then — while relying on God — assault, seeking martyrdom and paradise."

2. Al-Zawahri's been considered the Al-Qaida #2 for some time
Here's an article from early 2004:

Who is Ayman al-Zawahri?
Egyptian doctor is bin Laden's No. 2, al-Qaida's chief ideologist

3. Correction ...
... this is only the 7,282nd Al Qeada #2. Please don't exaggerate in order to make a point - no matter how obvious that point may be.

4. Oh please Mastah Bush, please protect us from the Boogeyman!
Something tells me we're going to be hearing even more tapes between now and November.

5. WOW! Numbers 1 AND 2 are making public announcements

6. Maybe instead of killing all those #3's we should have dispatched this guy
Unfortunately, * has turned this into a war of religions, that no one can win.
