Posted by NEWS on 9/9/2004, 20:24:50, in reply to "NEW VIDEO: Zawahri says US lying low" Zawahri, the right-hand man of Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, spoke to camera for several minutes in the videotape aired on Thursday, wearing a white turban with a machine gun at his side. "East and south Afghanistan have become an open arena for the Mujahideen (jihad fighters). The enemy are limited to their capitals," he said. "The Americans are hiding in their trenches and refuse to come out to face the Mujahideen, as the Mujahideen shell them, fire on them and cut roads off around them," he added. Zawahri appeared little different from previous videotapes, showing some greying on his beard. Al Jazeera, an influential Arabic broadcaster, did not say how it obtained the tape.
