A UK-based news agency says it has a new audio recording of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.

The 53-minute tape was recorded this month and acquired from a seller over the Net, the Al-Ansaar news agency says.

"In this final year I hurl myself and my steed with my soul at the enemy. Indeed, on my demise I will become a martyr," the Al-Qaeda leader purportedly says.

"I pray my demise isn't on a coffin bearing green mantles. I wish my demise to be in the eagle's belly," he says.

Experts contacted by Al-Ansaar believe that the 'eagle' refers to the US and the quote reveals bin Laden's wish to end his life in a final act of terrorism, Khan says.


He wishes to die in the Eagle's belly. Hum. All that talking about deep dark caves, etc.

Have all those pictures disappeared off those websites and what about those cars? They looked to be under close observation, by someone.
