The Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan praised slain al Qaeda emir Osama bin Laden on the second anniversary of his death and vowed to continue “waging jihad for the Caliphate” in his name.
Umar Studio, the media arm of the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, or Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, released the video of Ihsanullah Ihsan, the group’s top spokesman yesterday. Ihsan’s speech is titled ‘The Day of Martyrdom of Sheikh Osama bin Laden.’ The video was obtained and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.
Ihsan calls the death of bin Laden, who was killed by US NAVY SEAL in a raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 2, 2011, “the darkest day in Pakistani history.” He described bin Laden as a “general” and accuses the Pakistani state of colluding with the US to kill the al Qaeda emir.
“This is the day when the world’s biggest terrorist, America, killed one of the greatest generals of the Muslim Ummah with the help of the Pakistani army and the government,” Ihsan said.
