(AP) The Al-Jazeera network said Friday it will broadcast a video by al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri in which he speaks about Palestinian and Egyptian politics and the situation in Darfur.
The satellite channel said al-Zawahri discusses a possible referendum in the Palestinian territories, the campaign by Egyptian judges for the independence of the judiciary, and the ongoing violence in Sudan's Darfur region.
The network did not say whether al-Zawahri mentions Wednesday's killing of the most-wanted terrorist in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, by a U.S. airstrike.
