Al Hafez Othman speaks to the camera to give a lengthy martyrdom message in which he says he was captured by U.S. forces in Afghanistan when he fought with the Taliban and that he later trained in Pakistan. He also sends a message to Osama bin Laden. "God protect him," he says. Al Qaeda Commander Ayman al Zawahri also appears on the tape paying his respects to Othman. "And when God granted him freedom, he returned to battle the Christians under the direction of the leader of the believers, Mullah Mohammed Omar, who is victorious with the permission of God. He made the decision to take his car, full of explosives, and drive it into the American Embassy in Karachi," says Zawahri. The video, which was first located by Strategic Translations, a terrorism analysis firm, is entitled "Let's Live Honorably or Die as Martyrs." After Othman rigs his car full of explosives, he is shown hugging fellow followers good-bye before he drives off into the night. The faces of the other men shown on the tape are blurred. The video also features clips of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and George Bush. In one clip, Bush is shown reacting to the attack in Karachi, which occurred on the eve of his visit there. "Terrorists and killers are not going to prevent me from going to Pakistan," he says. Al Qaeda has previously released martyrdom videos of suicide bombers, including a few of the 9/11 hijackers and the 7/7 London bombers, after their attacks. In this video, Othman says to the camera, "Praise be to God, I started jihad." Rehab El-Buri contributed to this report.
