DUBAI (AFX) - Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri claimed in a new videotape that the network's leader Osama bin Laden is still alive and leading the "jihad" holy war against the West, the Al-Jazeera channel said.


Zawahiri also called on the Al-Qaeda fighters to attack oil installations in Islamic countries "because most of the revenues of this oil go to the enemies of Islam," Al-Jazeera quoted him as saying.

In parts of the videoclips screened by the satellite channel, Zawahiri said "Al-Qaeda for holy war is still, thanks to God, a base for jihad. Its prince Osama bin Laden, may God protect him, still leads the jihad."

"All the lies that (US President George W.) Bush tries to delude the Americans with, saying that he destroyed half, or three quarters of Al-Qaeda are but nonesense merely in his own head," said Zawahiri.

Al-Jazeera said the tape appeared on a website. There was no date for the videotape. US officials believe that Bin Laden, Zawahiri and other key militants have been sheltering somewhere along the mountainous border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

If he's still really alive, why doesn't he appear in any videos anymore? Has he got all camera shy? A bad case of acne? Sick and tired of fans mobbing him wherever he goes?

He "disapears" from the spotlight sometimes. But who knows.

Well the real last confirmatation he was alive was in 2003 in that video where he and Zawahiri were taking a stroll in the woods. No way that could be faked.

But this whole thing really is a comedy of errors...a very dark comedy.
