TOTAL CAR CARE Free Wheel Balance With Tire Purchase! 4B Thursday, October 10, 2002 NEW THE BATTaijo Bin-Laden’s second in commanl! is voice on tape, U.S. official sav tL LONDON (AP) — A voice “ ^ ^ P Itude LONDON (AP) — recording of Ayman al-Zawahri, al-Qaida’s fugitive second in command, appears to be genuine and to have been recorded in the last few weeks, a U.S. official said Wednesday. In the statement, he threatens new attacks on the United States and its economy. References to current events in the recording — obtained Tuesday by Associated Press Television News — are a clear sign that al-Zawahri is alive, the official said in Washington on condition of anonymity. The voice recording would be the first proof that al-Zawahri sur vived U.S. bombing in Afghanistan launched a year ago. U.S. officials say they don’t know if al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is alive, but in recent months U.S. troops have been scouring the remote border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Al-Zawahri probably recorded the statement in the last few weeks, but it could have been made as early as August, the offi cial said, adding that the record ing was still being analyzed. Al-Zawahri refers to a July 1 U.S. bombing in Afghanistan and speaks about the United States’ campaign against Iraq, accusing Washington of seeking to subju gate the Arab world on behalf of Israel. The recording was obtained by APTN in the form of a video compact disc. On the disc, an interview with al-Zawahri is played against a video backdrop with English subtitles of the con versation, along with scenes from the Sept. 11 attacks and other news footage. A title in the video identifies the speaker as al-Zawahri and says the video is a production of the As-Sahaab Foundation for Islamic Media. The production company is credited with earlier al-Qaida statements that appeared on Web sites and with the so- called farewell video of Ahmed Ibrahim A. Alhaznawi, a Sept. 11 hijacker. Al-Zawahri, 51, is believed to be bin Laden’s doctor and spiritu al adviser, providing the ideology Al- Qaida in 2002 Recent events linked to al- Qaida and its affiliates: June 14 A suicide bomber blows up a truck at the U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, killing 14.

On weekend NEWS IN BRIEF Public wary as Russia conducts first census since Soviet collapse MOSCOW (AP) — Russia launched its first post-Soviet census Wednesday, and President Vladimir Putin told a nervous census-taker that he works in the “service” sector and speaks Russian fluently. The weeklong door-to-door survey will quantify the dramatic shifts in Russia, which have included a drastic population decline. Officials have mounted a massive public rela tions campaign complete with television ads, bill boards, a hot line and a Web site to overcome Russians’ traditional distrust of the authorities. The intense public relations campaign official fears Russians will dodge the census." of letting strangers into their homes or rev information about themselves. L Many Russians have unofficial second johs do not pay taxes on the wages. Others break reg tions that require official registration at their pa ^ residence. ijl Census organizers say the goal is to provi accurate picture of the nation for planning services such as education and pensions.
