Al-Jazeera Arab television network aired Monday night a new videotape of al-Qaida deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri.
The network announced the videotape in an urgent text box in a corner of the screen during regular programming.
The last word from al-Zawahri was in an audiotape posted Jan. 20 on an Islamic Web site in which he read a poem praising "martyrs of holy war" in Afghanistan, Palestine and elsewhere.
