 A
blue banner signed by As-Sahab Productions, the propaganda
arm of al Qaeda, appeared on a web site known for its
dissemination of al Qaeda statements and announcements.
The banner flashed the message: "Good News Soon," and was
followed by a picture of a smiling al-Zarqawi and the
words "A tribute to the martyr of the Islamic nation and
prince of the martyrdom-seekers, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, God
rest his soul, from Sheik Osama bin Laden, God preserve
him." The banner then flashes a picture of bin Laden.
According to intelligence sources, the audio message is
expected to be posted within the next 72 hours.
