5 March 2006: First in an audiotape posted on an Arabic language forum late yesterday, then partially aired on al Jazeera television, al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims to attack the West, urging al Qaeda followers to conduct strikes similar as those against New York, London and Madrid in recent years. The strikes on New York, Washington, Madrid and London are the best examples," he said.
(...)
Zawahri, who wore a black turban and a white robe, sat in front of a curtain. He did not appear to have a customary assault rifle next to him, in the tape which carried the logo of al-Sahab, al Qaeda's media arm.
That second excerpt above is ominous, in my view. The assault rifle wasn't present this time, whereas in other communiques it has been. Perhaps it's a signal to sleeper cells across the Free World to implement their orders for terrorist activity.
I'd recommend we raise our own personal level of alertness and keep our eyes open. Don't be afraid of political correctness... if you see anyone, regardless of what or who they look like, doing something suspicious, don't be afraid to say, "hey!"
The Islamofascists must realize that we're watching them. We're everywhere. And we'll stop them if we can.
Let's roll!
