Egyptian-born medic Al-Zawahiri explains in the audiotape that it is in English because he does not speak Urdu - the language spoken by most Pakistanis.
The video may have been made to disprove reports that he was killed in a missile strike in Pakistan's Waziristan tribal area bordering Afghanistan on 23 July.
The audio message was released by Al-Qaeda's production arm, As-Sahab, and has not been fully authenticated. Top Al-Qaeda leader and chemicals expert Midhat Mursi Al-Sayid Umar died in the attack.
The US State Department has offered a 25 million dollar reward for Al-Zawahiri, who has delivered numerous audio and video messages urging militants to continue the fight against the United States. (ANI)
