Bin Laden pays tribute to al-Zarqawi

Jiblog Press-Osama bin Laden today released a taped memorial message today in honor of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The message, released by al Qaeda in house press organ As-Sahab, was 19 minutes long and released on the internet.

In one touching scene, the narrating Bin Laden called al-Zarqawi a lion as images of al-Zarqawi flashed across the screen to Elton John's "Circle of Life" from the Lion King sound track. The video also featured a tribute from Ayman al-Zawahiri, who did an accoustic version of Skid Row's "I'll Remember You" that is sure to moisten the eyes of jihadists everywhere.

The al-Qaeda tribute to al-Zarqawi comes sharp on the heals of an underground video on YouTube showing Moqtada al-Sadr singing "Hakuna Moqtada" to his militia members. In a move expected to possibly bring an early end to the War on Terror, the RIAA is expected to announce lawsuits against al-Sadr and al Qaeda on Friday claiming that intellectual property rights have been violated by the two videos.
