Al Zawahiri To Issue New Statement Eulogizing ‘A Group of Heroes’

Al Qaeda’s number two Ayman al Zawahri will issue a new statement soon to eulogize a number of “heroes,” according to a statement posted by al Qaeda’s media wing al Sahab on militant Islamist Internet forums. The banner showed two still pictures of men, one of whom is slain al Qaeda militant Abu Khabab al Masri, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan late July.

Like I said:

In this short release, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri tells the Ummah about the Mujaahideen that were killed by the Americans, specifically Shaykh Abu Khabbab al-Misri.

Qaeda's Zawahiri praises two comrades in video

DUBAI (AFP) — Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri mourned two leading members of the terror network who were killed last month in Pakistan, in a video message posted Friday on the Internet.

"I announce to you the good news of the martyrdom of my friend ... Sheikh Abu Khabab al-Masri and his pious comrades," Zawahiri said in a videotape posted on a website used by Islamist militant groups.

"With him also passed away ... our brother and educator, Ibrahim, who is the son of Sheikh Abi al-Faraj al-Masri, may Allah end his captivity," Zawahiri added in the brief message limited to the eulogy.

He also identified two other Al-Qaeda members killed in the attack as Sheikh Abdul Wahab, and Abu Islam, "an in-law" of Abu Khabab.

"This blessed convoy has gone to Allah, to whom they can make grievances about American oppression and the Pakistan government's treason," he said.

The second-in-command to Osama bin Laden, wearing a white tunic and matching turban, spoke in Arabic against the backdrop of soft-focus photos of two bearded and turbaned men -- presumably the two Masris.

Al-Qaeda confirmed early this month that Abu Khabab al-Masri -- a top expert on chemical and biological weapons -- had been killed along with other "heroes" in late July.

Pakistani officials said a July 28 missile strike in the South Waziristan tribal area killed Masri, an Egyptian militant whose full name is Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar.

Local residents said the strike was carried out by a pilotless US drone.
Pakistan's Taliban movement, in power in Afghanistan until a 2001 US-led invasion, swiftly denied a US television report at the time that Zawahiri may have been wounded or killed in the same missile attack.

Egyptian-born Zawahiri, who frequently emerges in video or audio tapes to speak for Al-Qaeda, has a 25-million-dollar US bounty on his head.

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'aala have mercy on them.... May Allah, the All-Mighty, the Most-Merciful, grant these heroes palaces in Jannah.
