CAIRO -- Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, presented a eulogy for a slain Afghan Taliban commander in an audiotape released yesterday, according to a transcript issued by a U.S. group that monitors militant messages.
The SITE Institute, based in Washington, did not say how it obtained the audiotape, but it has been known to obtain copies of al Qaeda messages before their release.
In the tape, the deputy al Qaeda leader offers condolences to the Taliban for the loss of Mullah Dadullah, a one-legged commander who orchestrated suicide attacks and beheadings before dying of gunshot wounds in a U.S.-led operation on May 12 in southern Afghanistan.
