(IsraelNN.com) The second-in-command to international al-Qaeda terror chief Osama bin Laden slammed the Iranian-backed Hizbullah al-Manar TV network Tuesday in a two-hour audiotaped statement posted on an Islamist website. Ayman al-Zawahri accused the television network of starting a rumor that Israel was behind the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC.
Al-Zawahri said the network was acting as a proxy for Shi'ite Iran, which he charged with trying to discredit al-Qaeda by laying the blame for the attacks at Israel's doorstep. "The purpose of this lie is clear -- [to imply] that there are no heroes among the Sunnis who can hurt America as no one else did in history. Iranian media snapped up this lie and repeated it," he said in his two-hour internet harangue.
