(As Sahab )

Al Qaeda media wing As Sahab released a new 53-minute video this weekend featuring a statement by senior al Qaeda leader Abu Yehya al Libi. Al-Libi was seen delivering a religious sermon marking the Eid al Adha celebrations (the Muslim feast marking the end of pilgrimage) to a group of Arab and Afghan men.

Al Libi's rhetoric was the same, as he incited the men to fight and assured that "jihad" will continue until "the Crusaders and the Zionists" are defeated.
