NEFA Foundation: Transcript of Ayman al-Zawahiri's "Elegy" on Abu al-Laith al-Liby
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has obtained a copy of a new video recording released today of Al-Qaida's Deputy Commander Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri mourning the recent death of Abu al-Laith al-Liby during a U.S. air strike in northern Pakistan. In his video statement, al-Zawahiri acknowledged the significance of the late Libyan commander but insisted that his loss would not deter the plans of Al-Qaida: "Every time a martyr falls, another martyr grabs the banner from him, and every time a chief goes down in blood, another chief completes the march after him... No chief of ours has died a natural death, nor has our blood been spilled without a response."
An English transcript of al-Zawahiri's latest message can be downloaded from the NEFA Foundation website.
