In a videotape aired by al Jazeera Arabic TV Friday night, Ayman Zawahri swore vengeance against the US for the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Al Qaeda’s No. 2 hailed the dead al Qaeda in Iraq leader as a hero and “prince of martyrs.” It was the first acknowledgement by al Qaeda’s center of the death of its Iraq chief.

Zawahri criticized Turkey for being a security state which welcomed US bases and recognized Israel. He also attacked Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki whom he accused of “trading Islam for power” and US ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, calling him “the Afghan apostate.”
