...kill and will be bombed just as you bomb. And expect more that will further distress you." While there's no real pattern in forewarnings from al-Qaeda, intelligence analysts take the words at face value. A recorded al-Jazeera broadcast from bin Laden deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri in early October was followed by the deadly bombing in Bali that killed more than 180. The voice's condemnation of key allies in the U.S. antiterrorism war--Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Canada and Australia--put foreign governments on alert for another major hit. Bin Laden also named Bush, Vice President Dick...
...Osama bin Laden or his second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, were alive and in hiding, wouldn't they be making videotaped statements that refer to recent events for broadcast on the Arab TV station al-Jazeera? The audiotapes and obviously old videotapes that have been released are unimpressive. PASQUALE J. PIACENTE Newington, Conn...
...about it: wake up from their complacency, prepare for the worst, or not blame the authorities for being caught by surprise if something terrible does happen? An early indication that al-Qaeda might be turning its sights on Europe came in an audio recording of Ayman al-Zawahiri broadcast by the Qatar-based television network al-Jazeera on Oct. 8.

...grown to levels last reached in the summer of 2001. Public pronouncements by al-Qaeda leaders--such as the Web statement purportedly made by bin Laden, a separate bin Laden audiotape played on the Qatari TV channel al Jazeera and another ostensibly from his second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri (U.S. authorities believe that the voice on the tape was indeed al-Zawahiri's)--have added to the tension. A senior State Department official believes that the messages by bin Laden and al-Zawahiri may amount to the starting gun for a fresh campaign. Saad al Fagih, a Saudi dissident...
...Qaeda on the rebound? Evidence is starting to mount that it is. U.S. officials believe that audiotaped statements purported to be from Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, broadcast recently on al-Jazeera, are authentic. Although the bin Laden tape is not thought to be new, U.S. counterterrorism officials told TIME that al-Zawahiri's statement--which warned of imminent attacks on the U.S. and its allies--was probably recorded in the past two months. "This is a way of telling people that al-Zawahiri isn't dead," says a White House aide. The U.S. believes...
