Al-Libi "Attack the Whitehouse"

Top Qaeda leader urges fighters to hit White House

7 minutes ago

DUBAI (Reuters) - A man believed to be a top al Qaeda militant who escaped from a U.S. jail near Kabul was shown in a new videotape broadcast on Tuesday exhorting followers in Afghanistan to fight on until they attack the White House.

"Allah will not be pleased until we reach the rooftop of the White House," Abu Yahya al-Libi was shown telling fighters in the tape aired by the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television.

The channel said the tape was one-hour long, showing footage of Libi urging fighters to train hard and even to try to acquire nuclear technology.

"You have to get well prepared by starting with exercise, and then you have to learn how to use technology until you are capable of nuclear weapons," he said.

Libi was shown in the footage bearded and wearing a long grey Muslim robe while standing in front of a group of fighters.

Libi is believed to be the alias of Libyan Mohammad Hassan who along with three other al Qaeda militants broke out of the U.S. jail at Bagram Air Base last year.

Analysts say he is an influential militant preacher, better known for recruiting fighters than for actual combat.

Arabiya said the authenticity of the tape could not be verified, but experts had told its bureau in Afghanistan the video was filmed in the southeast of the country.

British troops in Iraq said in September they killed one of the four al Qaeda escapees -- Omar Faruq, one of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenants -- in the city of Basra.

Apparently this is a re-release.

Wonder why

:confused:

Apparently this is a re-release.

Wonder why

:confused:
Probably because someone has taken the time to put a lot, if not all of al-Libi's material up on the internet archive and it was posted to a couple of forums in the past few days.

I guess someone thought it was new...??

It looks like Abu Yahya al-Libi has been "a hit" as a recruiter or as a giver of pep-talks. (Another such guy, now departed, was the Saudi Abdullah ar-Rashid ar-Rashoud.) If he's doing well in that function, then I think the Taliban would want him safe on the Pakistani side of the border. These gatherings of armed young people that we always see at his knee could, easily, be new recruits on their way to Afghanistan for the first time, or even just "actors".

They need cult status "Video Recruiters" for electronic media propoganda.
This guy ESCAPED from the Great Satan!
The videos are quite effective propoganda and I wouldn't think they need many "extras".

There's some confusion in this thread between Abu Musab al-Suri (now in custody) and Abu Yahya al-Libi (at large).
