In a video address released through Arabian television news channel Al Jazeera, Al Qaeda second in command Ayman al Zawahiri called US President George Bush a "butcher." He claimed that the CIA directed unmanned drone missile attack on a village in Pakistan killed innocent civilians. Confirming the truce offer by al Qaeda, he invited Bush to become a Muslim and be pardoned for "all that is past." A White House spokesman said that the al Qaeda "leadership is clearly on the run and under a lot of pressure." The US attack in Pakistan was meant to kill al Zawahiri as a result of a tip off from CIA "assets" (spies) with Pakistan's spy organization Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). This is the first time there is confirmation that he was not among those killed; no one really knows who was killed in that incident.
