Dubai, Sept 27: Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri has said in a latest video posted on a jihadist forum that his predecessor Osama bin Laden was blind in one eye.
In the hour-long video, al-Zawahiri, dressed in a white thawb cloack and turban, narrated stories about Osama bin Laden, saying "for those who do not know", Osama was blind in the right eye after an accident at a young age.
The video, the third in a series titled 'Days with the Imam', shows al-Zawahiri as saying tht Laden was a former member of the Saudi branch of the Muslim Brotherhood before he was evicted for giving a call for jihad against the then Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the eighties.
The video appears to be nearly two months old, in which Zawahiri greets Muslims on the beginning of the holy month of Ramzan.
