He must be upset, his forehead is looking extra rug burned.

(NY Times) — Ayman al-Zawahri, long the second in command of Al Qaeda, delivered his first public comments Wednesday on the killing of his boss Osama bin Laden in an American raid last month, saying in a video eulogy that Bin Laden had “terrified America in his life” and “will continue to terrify it after his death.”

The 28-minute video, titled “The Noble Knight Dismounted,” shows Mr. Zawahri dressed in white and seated with a rifle, according to the Site Intelligence Group, which tracks jihadist communications and translated the video.

In the video, Mr. Zawahri vows to continue Bin Laden’s efforts to “expel the invaders from Muslim lands” and called on Pakistanis to revolt against their leaders, “just as your brothers in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria have done.”

Al Qaeda has been without a declared leader since May 1, when Navy Seals raided a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where Bin Laden had been hiding for years, and killed him.

While Mr. Zawahri would appear the likeliest successor to lead Al Qaeda, he is seen to lack Bin Laden’s charisma and ideological leadership ability, appearing to be more of a professorial scold than a leader likely to inspire new recruits.
