The idyllic life of Bin Laden, according to Al-Qaeda

Osama bin Laden was a gentle and timid with tender feelings, as portrays it the leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman al Zawahiri, who recalls aspects deprived of his predecessor in a video broadcast on the internet in the last hours.

At times, visibly moved, the Zawahiri explained that he recorded the tape at the request of his followers, who requested that he evocase the human side of the man who ordered the attacks of 9-11 of 2001, and who died on May 2 in an operation of the US against his hideout in Pakistan of Abbottabad.

"That's the noble and excellent part we had the pleasure of knowing I and all those who accompanied this person of high ethics and generosity", says Zawahiri in a videotape whose authenticity could not be verified.

"Perhaps people look to the lion of islam (in reference to Bin Laden) to threaten us and not comes to have the true image of a kind and virtuous person, with feelings" u000a"tender and great shyness and noble ethics," adds.

In his hagiography, Zawahiri, for whose capture U.S. offers $ 25 million, recalls that first discovered Bin Laden was loyalty towards his companions: "he always spoke well of them and remembered the favors they did".

Over 30 minutes of recording, to the Zawahiri reviews anecdotes and moments of the life of the deceased leader of Al Qaeda.

Recalls how, for example, he spoke to Bin Laden of his son Mohamed, died in 2001 in an attack by NATO during the war of Afghanistan, and that this was to cry while their own to the Zawahiri already had "surpassed it".

To Zawahiri, physician training, was born in Egypt in 1951, he joined the Egyptian terrorist group "Jihad" (holy war) and is considered currently number one on the Al Qaeda organization after the death of Bin Laden on May 2.

Days later, the Government of United States spread five u000ahome videos of Bin Laden which it appeared rehearsing propaganda speeches with different outfits and reviewed on television with a remote control in hand

Images, which also show scenes from the everyday life of Bin Laden in his hideout, were reproduced without audio, as US authorities considered "inappropriate" airing.

Audiovisual releases have also been a regular resource of Zawahiri, who after the aforementioned attack that killed two of his sons, three of his brothers and his wife in November 2001, decided to disappear for over one year and reappeared in 2003 to.

At another time of the widespread video now, Egyptian has reacted how Bin Laden when he learned that a woman had lifted a banner asking him to "fulfill its promise" and support the Palestinians during a protest in Gaza.

Then, Bin Laden was quiet and left to a u000acorner of the mosque where he was and was crying while he was praying, according to Zawahiri.

In addition, the terrorist reveals that once Bin Laden brought to a Sheikh Mauritanian Afghanistan to teach religion and Arabic to their children.

As the Imam was "competent", the Zawahiri is noted with the sons of Bin Laden to these lessons on methods of reading of the Qur'an with this teacher that insisted always give fruit and fish.

In the video of loa to Bin Laden, the leader of Al-Qaeda appears with glasses and a long beard canosa, dressed in a robe and a turban white, sitting in front of a background green.

Although the recording has come to light in the last few hours, it seems made months ago, because in it to the Zawahiri also mention executed Libyan leader, Muammar-Gaddafi, as if this were even alive.
