On December 1, 2011, Al-Qaida's As-Sahab Media Foundation released the eighth segment of Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri's "Message of Hope and Glad Tidings to Egypt." In the message, Zawahiri finally acknowledged the recent killing of Al-Qaida leader Shaykh Atiyallah al-Liby in a strike by U.S. aircraft. The statement also claimed that Al-Qaida had captured “the Jewish American Warren Weinstein, the former and current contractor with the American government in the American aid program to Pakistan, which aims at fighting Jihad in Pakistan and Afghanistan.” Zawahiri made a number of demands, including “Halting all kinds of [air] raids by America and her allies in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and Gaza” and “Releasing all the prisoners in Guantanamo and the American rendition prisons, and shutting down the [GTMO] prison and these [rendition] prisons.”
