In addition to religious tutelage on the merits of al-Qaeda's view of "jihad" and "martyrdom," the site provides news of the well-being of key al-Qaeda leaders, and occasionally even carries their audio-taped statements. Bin Laden spokesman Suleiman Abu Ghaith used al-Qaeda-friendly Web sites last month to prove that he remains alive and at large, and to raise the morale of its operatives.
