As reported 3 days ago, Al-Qaeda's number 2 al-Zawahiri was believed to have been offered a contract by the Disney Channel to read children's poems.

Yesterday Rotters International was fortunate to have been given the opportunity to meet up with the Egyptian doctor and confirm the rumours.

At a Spinelli coffehouse in Kabul, Afghanistan, al-Zawahiri was excited to tell us about his new job.

"It's wonderful to read poems, especially to children! I used to read bedtime poems and rhymes to my son. But now that he's all grown up, I recite them to al-Syafiq's son. He loves them very much!"

He added, "It's pays more than staying in that stupid cave making lame and fake death threat videos."

He would not reveal the exact details of his contract, but mentioned that it was a 6-figure yearly pay for 3 years.

A spokesman for the Disney Channel said they were now actively involved in filming the new children's show and the earliest release date would be October 16th 2006.

Said Wang Zhikai, 15, from Singapore, who is a huge fan of the Disney Channel, "It's really cool to see al-Zawahiri reading my favourite poems like 'Itsy-Bitsy Spider' and 'Humpty-Dumpty'. I can't wait to catch it on the Disney Channel when it comes out. She-go rocks!"

Rotters International regrets to inform our readers that we have been receiving a number of letters and phone calls from the CIA following our interview with al-Zawahiri. Rotters Int. would like to take this opportunity to debunk any rumours that we are working with Al-Qaeda. We are just trying to get the news first and first-hand. Rotters Int. would also like to admit that Spinelli's coffee sucks and Starbucks would have made a better choice, but the latter did not set-up an outlet in Kabul.
