On September 12, 2011, Al-Qaida's As-Sahab Media Foundation released a message from Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri titled, "Dawn of the Imminent Victory: Ten Years after the Blessed Tuesday Battles." In the message, al-Zawahiri stated: "ten years have passed since the blessed battles on New York, and Washington, and Pennsylvania. That massive, mighty incident shook the pillars of the international crusade and continues to shake it." He continued, "If the Arab peoples are liberated from the chains of fear and horror, who has won and who has lost? The American-allied media claims that Al-Qaida's methodology in confronting the [Arab] regimes has failed, but that media pretentiously forgets that Al-Qaida and most of the jihadist current have continued their efforts for more than a decade and a half, mostly setting aside confronting these regimes, but focusing on attacking the head of international crime, and this methodology, and especially after the attack of September 11, has caused direct American orders to have lost grasp of these regimes on their people. That helped in causing a popular, cumulative movement and mobilization that led to the explosion of the popular volcano, which is the point that Shaykh Usama bin Laden—may Allah have mercy on him—used to assure. He used to assure that as much as we increase pressure on today's madness, America, that will lead to weakening it, and subsequently weakening its cooperatives. So whose policy has really won and whose has lost?" The message also addressed the Libyan people, noting, "...NATO has reached your sky and sea and is getting ready to come on your land, so what have you prepared for it? Have you forgotten what NATO is made of? Have you forgotten about Italy and her crimes in your country? What it has done to your ancestors? Have you forgotten France and what it has done to the Islamic Maghreb and ash-Sham? Have you forgotten who Britain is and what it has done with most of the Islamic World and Palestine?" The video also included a message from Usama bin Laden, who said, "your current president has...warned you about the tyranny of the capitalism of the big corporations, which will practically...continue controlling your main branches of authority, which means that you will become hostages in their hands. The tyranny of capital is more harmful to you and us and the entire world, and this the reason for speaking to you."
