Ayman al- Zawahiri, second in command of al-Qaida, said last night that the US faced defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If they continue they bleed to death and if they withdraw they lose everything.” He added: “Southern and eastern Afghanistan have completely become an open field for the mujahideen.

Their defence is only to bomb by air.”Full Story
