New Al-Qaeda Attack Tape

Al-Jazeera has aired an audio tape allegedly by Osama Bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, a bespectacled Egyptian former surgeon, who is believed to be the architect of the al-Qaeda ideology. The tape calls for organized resistance against the US, the UK, Australia, France, Poland, Norway, South Korea, and Japan. He also cited countries that provide Israel a "means of survival." CIA Analysts have concluded the voice on the tape is most likely Zawahri.

It's probably reasonable to expect an increased flurry of malice by the murdering terrorist cells on the run up to the elections in Australia and the United States. Responses to terrorism need to be bold, firm, and unrelenting.
