The Arab Spring could be the ultimate antidote to al-Qaeda’s jihadist ideology, but it’s unclear whether the uprisings will produce a liberating revolution or a backlash.

This is an image taken from a copy of a video produced by as-Sahab, the media arm of al-Qaeda, entitled "The Wills of the Heroes of the Raids on New York and Washington, The Will of the Martyr (As We See Him) Abu Mus'ab Walid al-Shehri, With a Forward by Sheikh Osama bin Laden". Osama bin Laden appeared in a purported new video praising a Sept. 11, 2001, hijacker, as al- Qaeda marked the sixth anniversary of the attacks, according to IntelCenter, a U.S.-based organization that monitors extremist Web sites.
