Humam Balawi Appears in Taliban Video

BBC:

Video purportedly of a Jordanian who blew up CIA agents in Afghanistan has shown him vowing revenge for Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud's death.

In a clip broadcast on al-Jazeera TV, a man said to be bomber Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi says Mehsud must be avenged "inside and outside America".

The footage appears to show him next to Mehsud's successor, Hakimullah Mehsud, although he is not named in the video.

There is a clip at the BBC link. I've not checked the forums yet. But maybe they sent it to al-Jazeera because all your al-Mosul are belong to us?

Here's a partial clip via the Ahki.
