By Craig Skehan August 11, 2005 A video on Arab television showing a man with an Australian accent threatening terrorist attacks was evidence that al-Qaeda's reach extended to many nations, the broadcaster said last night.
Wearing military combat gear and carrying an automatic rifle, his face covered by a balaclava, the militant attributes the attack to al-Qaeda. "The honourable sons of Islam will not just let you kill our families in Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir and the Balkans, Indonesia, the Caucasus and elsewhere," the militant says on the tape. "It is time for us to be equals. As you kill us, you'll be killed. As you bomb us, you will be bombed." http://media.fairfax.com.au/?rid=16474 ---------------- Aksen yang terdengar adalah adanya kesamaan aksen seperti yang dimiliki orang-orang Lebanon di Aussie saat berbahasa Inggris. Berlainan dengan AS yang punya macam-macam aksen tergantung diwilayah mana mereka dibesarkan, di Australia hanya ada satu aksen. Pendapat para pakar: Several linguists said a number of different "markers" identified the accent of the militant as Australian. One said the man was born, or spent his formative years, in Australia and was probably under 30. Dr Felicity Cox, of Macquarie University, said the man's speech showed Arabic or Middle Eastern influence, but this might mean only that he had spent time with people of such backgrounds. "This guy exhibits signs that he has spent a considerable amount of time in Australia," Dr Cox said. In Kabul, private security experts who viewed the tape speculated that the man's handling of the firearm indicated he might have had Western weapons training.
