Ayman al-Zawahiri Video Appears With Italian Subtitles
Topics: Terrorism
A video message by al-Qaeda's second-in-command Islamothug, Ayman al-Zawahiri, first broadcast by the Qatar-based TV network Aljazeera in September, has been posted with Italian subtitles on several Islamist internet sites - an obvious a move to reach directly to an Italian audience.
In the 40-minute clip, titled 'A meeting with Doctor Ayman al-Zawahiri four years after the [September 11, 2001] attacks agaisnt New York and Washington," the acting "terrorist-in-chief" denounces last September's general elections in Afghanistan, and praises the July bombings in London.
The Islamist sites which bill the clip as the first to be translated in Italian urge readers to distribute the message on the Internet so that as many Italians as possible can view it. Observers say that the poor grammar used in the subtitles suggest that the translation was not done by a mother-tongue Italian.
