(2006). From absence to presence: understanding Bin Laden's and Al-Zarqawi's Recent Recordings. (RSIS Commentaries, No. 044). RSIS Commentaries. Singapore: Nanyang Technological University. | Series/Report no.: | RSIS Commentaries, 044-06 | Abstract: | In an audio tape released on May 2006, Osama bin Laden for the first time admitted his involvement in the attacks of September 11th. This release follows the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi's first ever appearance on video. Both events raise the interesting question: Why now? Although both individuals may have their own personal reasons for releasing tapes, it is highly probable their release is an attempt to shore up support for a war that is not going as well as planned. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/82222 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/39924 |
