Al-Jazeera television is broadcasting what is said to be a new audio tape of Osama bin Laden.

It is claimed he will refer to the capture of ex-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

"The audiotape contains new things. It refers to the Geneva Initiative (an unofficial Israeli-Palestinian peace plan unveiled in early December) and the capture of Saddam Hussein on December 13," al-Jazeera editor Ibrahim Hilal said.

Hilal said the voice purported to be that of bin Laden will also refer to the "(US) crusade against the Islamic world."

Early translations indicated that bin Laden called on Muslims to fight Western troops in Iraq with weapons rather than dialogue.

He also condemned Gulf states which supported the invasion of Iraq.

The latest George $oreA$$/Follywood Tape of old Sammy Been Laid Out in Tora Boro is about to hit the wires.

Short sellers in the world markets have pledged 10% of their upcoming gains when the markets take their last Been Laden Tape Dive, to pay for this newest tape.

He's Dead Jim!

This is just the initial reporting, wait till they get a full transcript up. No doubt it'll be one of those classic jihadi rants that we all know and love.

his appearance is different, that's why there is no video.

OBL isn't producing home movies because he knows it'll lead to his capture. The cia would identfy his whereabouts in an instant.

I swear they must have a book of Jihadist Mad Libs.

If anyone knows where Usama is, it'd be the Crypt Keeper! I am of the opinion that Usama's under lots and lots of rocks of his cave hide-out in Afghanistan.

Germans say Osama recordings are authentic

LOL ... might have to use that one on the website some day ...

They would have referred to the attack if that were the case.

They did not refer to any attack, as far as what has been reported so far shows.

Anyway, I wonder if the tape was given to AJ at some earlier time with the instructions to release it after the holiday season with the idea that it would be released after a successful attack.

That was exactly my thought. Either that or the person who delivers the tape was told to do it on such and such a day and that's what he did. There was probably no way for him to be contacted again by the means with which he got the tape, so no way to countermand the order.

Early translations indicated that bin Laden called on Muslims to fight Western troops in Iraq with weapons rather than dialogue.

But I hear from muslim clerics in America that bin Laden isn't a "real" muslim. Why would muslims listen to him?

[Semper911]

the fight against U.S. forces should be with arms not through dialogue.

This sounds to me like a call for silence.

That daleel guy said there would be quiet before the big attack.

Your post made my day! Thanks.
