DUBAI (Agencies) A Jordanian who blew himself up in Afghanistan, killing eight CIA agents and his Jordanian handler, said in a video broadcast on Saturday he was carrying out the attack in response to the death of Baitullah Mehsud, the Pakistani Taliban leader killed by a US drone, calling for attacks in and outside the United States Al-Jazeera reported on its website that the video was left as a message to the US and its Arab ally Jordan by the bomber, Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, in which he tells them: We say that we will never forget the blood of our Emir Baitullah Mehsud, Gods mercy on him. It is up to us to avenge him in and outside America, Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi said about a Taliban leader killed in a US attack in August. This is a message to the enemies of the (Muslim) nation - the CIA and Jordanian intelligence services, said the bearded man in military uniform, identified by Al-Jazeera television as Balawi. In the video Balawi is shown holding a weapon and sitting alongside another individual wearing an Afghan headscarf with a black banner bearing a verse from the Holy Quran in the background. According to the US monitoring group IntelCentre, the man sitting next to Balawi is Hakimullah Mehsud, who succeeded Baitullah Mehsud as head of the Pakistan Taliban. Balawi blew himself up at a US military base in Khost, near the Pakistani border on December 30, killing seven CIA agents and his Jordanian handler - a top intelligence officer and member of the royal family. Balawi, apparently referring to his claimed role as a double agent, said: Gods combatant never exposes his religion to blackmail and never renounces it, even if he is offered the sun in one hand and the moon in the other. We will never forget that he (Mehsud) said Sheikh Osama bin Laden was not on our soil (Pakistan) but that if he should come we would protect him, the man said. He kept his promise and paid for it with his life, he added about Mehsud, the Pakistan Taliban chief killed in US drone attacks last August. Al-Jazeera reported that the video shows Balawi training at a shooting range, but did not broadcast that part of the footage. On Thursday, Muslim websites quoted the head of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, as saying the bomber left a will saying the Khost attack was revenge for our righteous martyrs and named several top militants killed in drone attacks in Pakistan. Yazid described Balawis mission as an epic breakthrough in penetrating both American and Jordanian intelligence, said Islamist websites. The slain militant masterminds named in the will included Mehsud, who was blamed for a wave of deadly attacks, notably the December 2007 killing of Pakistans former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. Also named was Abu Saleh al-Somali, described as part of Al-Qaedas core leadership and responsible for plotting attacks in Europe and the US. He was killed in a drone strike near the Afghan border last month.
