Bin Laden: We will liberate Palestine 'from Jordan to the sea'
Al-Qaeda leader issues unusually direct threat against Israel,
promising Palestinians his organization plans to expand its jihad to
the region. 'We will not recognize even once inch for Jews in the land
of Palestine as other Muslim leaders have,' says Bin Laden in audio
recording posted to website
News agencies
Osama Bin Laden warned Iraq's Sunni Arabs against joining tribal
councils fighting al-Qaeda or participating in any unity government in
a new audiotape posted on the Web on Saturday.
Bin Laden also made an unusually sharp threat of attacks against
Israel, saying, ''I would like to assure our people in Palestine that
we will expand our jihad there.''
''We intend to liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the
(Jordan) river to the sea,'' he said, threatening ''blood for blood,
destruction for destruction.''
Bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders frequently vow to liberate
Jerusalem and Palestine in their messages. But the latest comments
were a more direct language than Bin Laden usually uses. Israel has
warned of growing al-Qaeda activity in Palestinian territory, but the
terror network is not believed to have taken a strong direct role
there so far.
''We will not recognize even one inch for Jews in the land of
Palestine as other Muslim leaders have,'' Bin Laden said.
Denounces 'Awakening Councils' in Iraq
Most of the 56-minute tape dealt with Iraq, in the latest attempt by
al-Qaeda to keep its supporters and other insurgents in Iraq unified
behind it at a time when the US military claims to have al-Qaeda's
Iraq branch on the run.
A number of Sunni Arab tribes in Iraq's western Anbar province have
formed a coalition fighting al-Qaeda-linked insurgents that US
officials credit for deeply reducing violence in the province. The US
military has been working to form similar ''Awakening Councils'' in
other areas of Iraq.
In the audiotape, Bin Laden denounced Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha, the
former leader of the Anbar Awakening Council, who was killed in a
September bombing claimed by al-Qaeda.
''The most evil of the traitors are those who trade away their
religion for the sake of their mortal life,'' Bin Laden said.
Bin Laden said US and Iraqi officials are seeking to set up a
''national unity government'' joining the country's Sunnis, Shiites
and Kurds.
''Our duty is to foil these dangerous schemes, which try to prevent
the establishment of an Islamic state in Iraq, which would be a wall
of resistance against American schemes to divide Iraq,'' he said.
The authenticity of the tape could not be independently confirmed. But
the voice resembled that of Bin
Laden. The tape was posted on an Islamic militant Web site where al-
Qaeda's media arm, Al-Sahab, issues the group's messages.
The tape was the fifth message released by Bin Laden this year, a
flurry of activity after he went more than a year without issuing any
tapes. The messages began with a Sept. 8 video that showed Bin Laden
for the first time n nearly three years. The other messages this year
have been audiotapes.
