Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has pledged allegiance to the new Afghan Taliban chief in an audio message posted online.
The pledge to Mullah Akhtar Mansour was issued by al-Qaeda's media arm al-Sahab and was Zawahiri's first message since September last year.
There had been speculation about whether Zawahiri was himself dead since the death of former Taliban head Mullah Omar was confirmed last month.
Zawahiri offered his condolences.
WNU Editor: It has been a long time since Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri has made a public announcement. He has definitely been very low-key in the past year.
