al-Zawahiri's July
27 statement on the
Israel-Hezbollah conflict
deftly advanced al-Qaeda's
own interests, as
well as al-Qaeda's
goal of putting the
world's multiple ongoing
Islamic insurgencies
into the context of
a single, Shiite-and-Sunni
struggle against "the
Zionist-Crusader aggression."
The struggles in Palestine,
Lebanon, Iraq and
Afghanistan are all
connected, al-Zawahiri
said, and "the
whole world is an
open field for us.
As they attack us
everywhere, we will
attack them everywhere".

Al Jazeera television

1, 2005, shows a
man believed to
be one of the July
7 London suicide
bombers, Mohammad
Sidique Khan, 30.
Al Jazeera said
the tape contained
the will of Khan,
in which he blamed
the attacks on Britain's
support for the
war on Iraq and
Western "tyrants".
At least two groups
linked to al Qaeda
have already claimed
responsibility for
the July 7 suicide
bombings on London's
transport system
which killed 52
