It was not clear why the video was not released soon after the date it was allegedly filmed. Al-Zawahri has appeared in at least three videotapes filmed since November, all of them aired on the Al-Jazeera news network. Thursday's video was posted on a Web forum used by Islamic militants to issue public statements and videos.
Zarqawi's attack on a wedding party in Jordan backfired and as a result he was demoted in Iraq. In addition, almost everyone in Iraq has turned against al Qaeda.
Could Al Jazeera's refusal, if that is what it is, be a sign of weakening support for al Qaeda in the Muslim world?
Let's hope so.
