Al Qaeda’s second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri slams President Obama and again threatens attacks in a new video posted on radical Islamist Web sites. The video follows the same, familiar pattern of rhetoric often seen in videos released by al-Zawahiri over the years.
Ayman al-Zawahiri uses the message to eulogize Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, an accused terrorist who said he was tortured into making a false connection between al Qaeda and Iraq. Human rights monitors said in May that he had died.
“Obama claims to respect human rights and condemn torture, and here I will not ask him about the expansion of the Bagram prison, and will not ask how he forgave the crimes of the CIA executioners.
I will not ask him about his decision not to release the detainee abuse photos and will not ask him about the program to hand over detainees to other countries to be tortured, and will not ask him about the assassination teams that are deployed to assassinate anyone who is suspected to be an extremist,” al-Zawahiri says in the message.
