“Militants who reject violence?” That seems a little odd. There appears to be trouble in the jihad:

Al Qaeda’s No. 2 leader wrote a book published Sunday on militant Islamic Web sites in which he slams radical militants who have disavowed armed struggle and turned their backs on violence.
The 215-page book by Aymen Al Zawahiri is the latest salvo inhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1979408/posts an intellectual war between the founders of the terror group and the other Islamic militants, many of whom have become disillusioned with homicide bombings and attacks on civilians.
“This message that I present to the reader today is the most difficult, if not the hardest I have written in my life,” al-Zawahri wrote in the introduction to “Exonerations,” published by al-Sahab, Al Qaeda’s media wing.
In it, al-Zawahri rejects a series of “revisions” published by prominent jailed Islamist thinkers that renounce violence.
“It serves the interests of the Crusader-Zionist alliance with the Arab leaders to drug the mujahideen and drag them away from the confrontation,” he writes.
The most recent renunciation came in 2007 from Sayed Imam, once a top leader in Egypt’s Islamic Jihad group and an associate of Al Zawahiri.

Abu Laith was viewed as a top Al Qaeda strategist in Afghanistan and was one of its highest-profile figures after Usama bin Laden and al Zawahri. He was killed in late January by a missile from a U.S. Predator drone that struck his safe house in Pakistan.

Well, look at that, we can fight al Qaeda in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time! Who would have thought we could have done that?
