The message from Osama bin Laden’s Egyptian deputy and spiritual mentor, which was produced by al-Qaeda’s propaganda operation As-Sahab, was the first high-level response from the organisation to Mr Obama’s victory in the presidential election on Nov 2.The tape features audio extracts from Malcolm X’s speech in Selma, Alabama, in 1965, in which he unfavourably compared the “house negro” — a docile slave ingratiating himself with his master — with the embittered “field negro” who laboured outdoors. Still images on the video that accompanied the audio message showed a picture of Malcolm X, an advocate of black power who was also a Muslim convert.
Zawahiri’s message, entitled “The departure of Bush and arrival of Obama”, warned Mr Obama of a “heavy legacy of failure” awaiting him in office.
