New Al Qaeda Tape to Be Released
July 05, 2006 10:58 PM
Al Qaeda is set to release a new video tape featuring one of the suicide bombers from last year's London attacks, according to Ben Venzke at the IntelCenter. Venzke says the as-Sahab production house will be putting out a tape on the Internet sometime Thursday that includes a video last will and testament of Shahzad Tanweer as well as a new statement from the al Qaeda number two leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The tape is also expected to include former Californian Adam Gadahn, who now goes by the name of Azzam al-Amriki. Gadahn is believed by U.S. authorities to be running the al Qaeda propaganda operation from a secret location somewhere inside of Pakistan.
Release of the tape the day before the London anniversary bombings suggest that al Qaeda had a significant role in the attacks which killed 52 and injured hundreds.

Don't use "inside of Pakistan", it is a double preposition. You should simply use "inside Pakistan".
Good to see ABC's hiring standards include 3rd graders.

What is this hollywood? Tapes will continue unless we stop talking about them and showing them.

Al Qaeda co-opts any violent act done in its name around the world. Extremists then benefit by having the "Al Qaeda" tag attached to their act, giving it instant cachet. Bush benefits by perpetuating the rumor that Al Qaeda are everywhere- possibly even next door to you. Everyone wins- except innocent civilians.
Al Qaeda wasn't pulling the strings in Madrid.
There is not massive, organized network conspiring against us.

I understand people fighting for feedom, I understand people fighting for principle, I understand people fighting for general principle: but what I don't understand peopel killing their own---what reason is ther in that??????killing women, childen and people fighting for the good of their country---the worls is up side down

How exactly does this suggest AQ had a significant role? Maybe it only suggests they would like to take credit for something a buncha thugs did on their own, without any outside help.
Seems like youre leaping to conclusions here.

When we begin really understanding the mind of these people and that it is a no win situation we might win the war against them.

"Release of the tape the day before....suggest that al Qaeda had a significant role in the attacks."
Baloney. It suggests only that the Al Qaeda leadership is willing to grasp at any straw (even the home-grown variety) after the fact to assert its relevance.

Yawn. I find it hillarious that these cowards are so isolated all they can do is bombard us with warnings. All they do is wait and pray to allah that some radicals with no ties to Al-qaeda will blow up a train or bus. Then they take credit for it. Right, we are so dumb we can't see right through that con. Time is running out for these moles. I assure you we are right near them and waiting to attack.

What is this some sort of great movie release? Where do i buy the tickets? How come they advertise the release as if it was some sort of hollywood film? by the way, would it play in IMAX?
Posted by: A | Jul 6, 2006 9:23:30 AM
I'm not surprised ABC news is serving as the PR outlet for the terrorist scum. Pre-announcing their upcoming Jihad rant must resonate with the news executives wayward view of the world. What other independent news source, save for Aljazeera, echoes their anti-American/administration views?

Let's gather everybody that wants to blow themselves up somewhere in the desert of Iraq for a group photo. Smile! There's going to be a bright flash.....

How the heck do they know a tape "WILL BE RELEASED"???? If we know it's going to be released let's get these people????

Bring it on. Nazis will never take London down.

We have bombs for them as well.
Zarqawi also thought he was un-
touchable.

STOP giving the Al Qaeda FREE PUBLICITY! HOWEVER... if you are the kind of organization that gives uot free publicity, why not do it for small businesses that sell peaceful products rather than small businesses that TERRORIZE and depend upon getting the word out in order to thrive!

Awesome! Is it coming to DVD as well?
Posted by: anon | Jul 6, 2006 12:05:17 PM
All I know is that when they do catch Bin Laden, they better torture the dickens out of him to get some good intelligence. Because if they politicians have let him waltz around Pakistan all the time for nothing it'll be a disgrace. Nuke him I say!

Al Quaeda couldn't possibly be more elevated than by Justice Stevens when he gave the whole organization without a country the same status as such. This story is chicken feed compared to that FUBAR move.
Executive branch rules war. Legislative branch sanctions it. Justice needs to stay on the sidelines.

The "as-Sahab production house"? Typical mainstream media news report, breathlessly announcing a new terrorist video as if it were the latest release of a Hollywood film. Don't the people at ABC have any understanding what's going on here - that it is their way of life that these people are out to destroy, that it is their children who are bravely fighting - and dying - to make sure that that doesn't happen. And, is it any wonder that less and less people tune in to the big three news broadcasts? This is the one area where the news should be biased!

nothing about alqaeda is funny. I see very clearly the hate and animosity of the left towards presidnet bush, and this hate blinds the left. islmic facism is real, i will agree alqaeda is not a government but a mindset of muslims throughout the world, we all saw celebrations of muslims all over the world after 9/11, you really have to put away the partisan rhetoric and unite against this great world threat

Bin Laden died of kidney failure in Dec. 2001. Even Fox News reported the event. The worlds leaders are playing games on the public and we're the fools for believing their rhetoric including the use of terror to control an expanding population base that could easily squash them if we ever woke up from our dreams.
Posted by: More Propaganda | Jul 6, 2006 3:36:52 PM
Albert's on to something. Al Qaeda isn't recruiting soldiers, they're recruiting for marketing and public relations positions. A few well-placed press releases and spin jobs and ta-da: Al Qaeda(c)(tm) brand terrorism.

We are all shaking in our boots over these jihad jokers. I can't wait to see these clowns on tape being "frog marched" to Gitmo. They need a vacation from the stress of jihad impotence. They talk a good talk, but can't walk the walk anymore. George will keep taking them down, one by one, or as in Zarq's case, piece by piece. I predict that Bin Laden will never kill himself and we will capture him before the end of this year.

Thanks to Grammar for the good grammar! We learned that principle in second grade, at least, but it's floating all around the place - "of" this and "of" that - the broadcasters who try to be "of the people". STOP!
Hey, ABC, no more giving thugs such coverage. It's what keeps them going, believe it. They think we're fools.
Posted by: Ginger | Jul 6, 2006 4:44:21 PM
It's going to be released?!?! What kind of joke is that!? Do they have some sort of PR Department that let's us know these things. This whole terrorist thing is such a big fat propaganda lie!
Posted by: Daniel | Jul 6, 2006 4:45:23 PM
Another Al Qaeda aka CIA tape found. Just in time. We really need to pump up the terrorism card in an election year (but not too close to the elections because that would look obvious). Also, this tape keeps up from addressing real problems at home like rampant inflation, US gov't caging protestors, as well as NSA spying on all Americans. Anytime the public starts pondering the loss of our Constitutional rights, the gov't 'finds' another terrorist tape.
Posted by: Gregg Yartent III | Jul 6, 2006 4:49:08 PM
I knew the second the Clinton administration started to allow 'roving wiretaps', the constitutional tramping had only just begun.
Posted by: John Martin | Jul 6, 2006 6:01:06 PM
So many tapes released lately by this band of twisted thugs is evidence that they are losing support. The plan is always the same...they are crank up the propaganda machine. ABC is their main outlet and distributer. MSNBC and CNN are right behind them.
The press in this country answers to no one, and it shows. I only hope that the top execs families are near the next ground zero. Maybe then they will get a clue.
Posted by: moby dick | Jul 6, 2006 6:55:12 PM
How does ABC know beforehand when a terrorist tape is going to be released?! Come to think of it, how did Giuliani know that the towers were going to collapse before anyone else, which he told Peter Jennings when he evacuated WTC7? hmmmm.......
Posted by: Ben | Jul 7, 2006 1:46:30 PM
This is more evidence that Al-Qaeda is mostly, if not completely, a CIA psychological operation. There are enough inconsistencies in all this "terrorism' propanda to make a jury reach a verdict in an instant. It's time we start to look back at what we're fed by the TV, and what we think is really going on, and reevaluate our perspectives with an unbiased, well-informed and well-rounded approach.
Simple logic tells me that in order to know of the coming video, they must have an INSIDE source somewhere. The question then remains, inside of what? "Al-Qaeda"? If this is so, why would they release this foreknowledge to the media and allow this crap to air when they ahve already unfoiled the plot?? Why would an infiltrated "terrorist cell" not be stopped and arrested, but allowed to go on and drop videos like the latest mainstream American pop-star?
The rational conclusion to me is that this is typical "psy-ops" being played out on the American people.
Arm your mind...

99% of everyone here that has issued a comment adheres to some policy of "War!" or "Well, lets go get them!"
Did it ever cross your mind that you had absolutely no prior knowledge that an 'Al Qaeda' group even existed before your supposed 'Terrorist attacks'?
CNN, ABC, Fox News? They are ALL self interest groups! They HAVE to report what the Military tells them by LAW. They HAVE to appease their share holders, the same way you HAVE to do what your boss tells you to do.
When was the last time you've even heard of a suave business jerk off that doesn't lie to get ahead?
When was the last time a military organization lied?
When was the last time a politician told a lie?
Suave Business Millionaries get ahead by wronging people in some way! Its dog eat dog!
Military people cannot understand that on some level they want to KILL someone. HOOAH.
Politicians have a notorios reputation for being CROOKED.
They all have INTERESTS to be served. You guys are backwards. You're so busy believing the lies that you've gone off on a tagent in the wrong direction.

l must say that l appreciate your effort in exposing the extent of fraud in Nigeria.but then l do not appreciate the use of the term "nigerians celebrating it"bcos most families and individuals do not appreciate or celebrate it.the music sung on this is to expose them and to curtail the expansion of this mehem.i would like you to correct this impression you have made on the media which is like everybody in nigeria is celebrating on supporting this.
