NEFA identifies him as Bekkay Harrach.
The German-language video, with Arabic subtitles, can be seen here.
Some worthwhile commentary here from Associated Press.
Update 29 January 2009. Two more good press reports:
Spiegel
Bild
both in English.
Harrach seems to part of the same network in Waziristan as Abu Yahya al-Libi and Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, but not IJU and their German star Eric Breininger, as far as I can tell.
