Cairo - Al-Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri Tuesday demanded Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir "repent" for kicking the terrorist group's leaders out of Sudan and called on the Sudanese people to "prepare for a guerrilla war against the West."

"The Bashir regime is reaping what it sowed. It expelled those who took refuge in Sudan, including Osama bin Laden," al-Zawahiri said in a message released Tuesday according to the Washington-based SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks messages from terrorist groups.

London, Feb 21: Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, one of al Qaeda's founders in 1998 and a leading jihadist ideologue who functions under the pen-name `Dr Fadl', has launched a fierce attack on the ideology and personal failings of Osama bin Laden, and particularly his Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, who also led an Islamist insurgency in Egypt in the 1990s, has attacked the terror outfit in his book written from inside a Egyptian prison.

Washington - The man regarded as second-in-command of terrorist group al-Qaeda condemned US president-elect Barack Obama Wednesday in the group's first audio message since his election, using racial slurs and calling his victory an "admission of defeat" in Iraq.

Ayman al-Zawahiri called Obama "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans," citing Malik al-Shabazz and Malcolm X, both controversial figures who preached violence during the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

Islamabad - Pakistani security forces recently missed a chance to capture al-Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, an official said Tuesday.

Rehman Malik, security advisor to Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, said Zawahiri's wife was once located in Mohmand tribal direct but the couple was not found when troops raided the place.

"We certainly had traced him at one place, but we missed the chance. So he is moving in Mohmand and, of course, sometimes in Kunar, mostly in Kunar and Paktia
(provinces of Afghanistan)," Malik was quoted as saying by the English-language Dawn newspaper.

Islamabad, Sept 2: Pakistani security forces had once in the past missed a chance to catch Al-Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri, who was now moving between Pakistan’s tribal areas and the eastern Afghan provinces of Kunar and Paktia, Rehman Malik, the Adviser to Pakistan Prime Minister on Interior Affairs, has said.

Malik, however, did not give details about the place where Zawahri could have been caught, and was also silent about the place where Laden might be hiding now.

Islamabad, Aug 3 : Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Taliban has denied a US television report that al-Qaeda’s deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri may have been wounded or killed in a missile strike this week.

The Pakistani military said that it had no information on the report by US, which said it had obtained an intercepted letter from a Taliban commander urgently requesting a doctor to treat Zawahiri.

“This is totally baseless. The claim is rubbish, there is no truth in this,” Maulvi Omar, a spokesman for Tehreek-e-Taliban (Taliban Movement), told reporters.
