Ayman al-Zawahri has surfaced in a new Internet tape praising the latest militants killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in July.
Al Qaeda’s second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri appeared in a videotape posted on the Internet on Friday, the second recording since he was reported to have been killed or wounded in Pakistan last month.
The video posted on a Web site often used by al Qaeda showed Zawahri in white robes and white turban in front of a green backdrop, praising Abu Khabab al-Masri and three other militants killed in Pakistan’s border region in July.
There were rumors flying around that Zawahri may have been injured or killed in July when the CIA targeted a militant safehouse using a unmanned Predator drone.
