Al Qaeda video rails against Turkey

Al Qaeda's number two man, Ayman al- Zawahiri attacked the Turkish government for its role in Afghanistan. The video message was not confirmed but in comparison with past videos they are nearly identically. Turkey's Muslim population was accused of attacking Islamic values in the past. NATO's International Security Assistance Force has 1,755 Turkish troops in Afghanistan. They also led egional Command Capital in Kabul. The video was categorized as Al Qaeda's propaganda. The video cuts to a man, apparently a martyr, named al- Turki. He is said to have praised September 11 and have helped commit the murder of eight Jordanian officials.

This article is globally important because it has an underlying threat to both Turkey and the United States. Al- Qaeda is a villain to many people but when they send a video to Turkey about their plans it can be taken as a threat and when they introduce a man that clearly liked September 11 and the death of their villains, the United State's it can be taken into consideration for future attacks. This article is important because it makes the entire world on edge, knowing that a martyr, unwilling to die can attack anywhere at anytime, with the power of one of the strongest terrorist groups in the world.
