Zawahri: London Bombers Al Qaeda-Trained

In a sudden flurry of jihad videos aimed at the West, we’ve seen London bomber Shehzad Tanweer and American turncoat Adam Gadahn ... and the hits keep on comin’! Here’s Ayman al-Zawahri saying the 7/7 mass murderers were trained by Al Qaeda.
CAIRO, Egypt - Two of the four suicide bombers who attacked London last July 7 spent time at an al-Qaida camp to prepare themselves for a suicide mission, the deputy leader of the terror network claimed in a video Friday.
British authorities previously said they knew Shehzad Tanweer and Mohammad Sidique Khan had visited Pakistan, but the comment from al-Qaida No. 2 man Ayman al-Zawahri was the first to claim that they had been at an al-Qaida base.
"Both of them were seeking martyrdom and wished that they could carry out a martyrdom operation," al-Zawahri said, using the Islamic euphemism for a suicide attack.

Anyone want to bet that the line about "Islamic euphemism for a suicide attack" will be removed from subsequent versions of the story? It’s very insensitive, bordering on Islamophobic.
