FOX News is reporting that a new Bin Laden tape will be released soon. Interesting timing?
Sorry, meant to ping you also.

Bin Laden issuing new message soon
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden will be issuing a new message timed to the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, a militant Web site with close connections to the group said Wednesday.
“Urgent, very soon by the will of God,” read the announcement of the new message “the response is what you see and not what you hear, by the warrior sheik, Osama bin Laden.”
Iraq marked the fifth anniversary of the war on Wednesday.
The announcement was text only and showed no pictures of the elusive militant leader.
The message would be bin Laden’s first for 2008 and follows up an hour-long, late December audio missive in which he warned Iraq’s Sunni Arabs against fighting al-Qaida in Iraq and vowed new attacks on Israel.
Thank RR for the ping.
“Interesting timing?”
No, it’s deliberate timing.
No graphic to post with my links today regarding the UBL (most likely just audio tape) coming soon. The brief message is in Arabic and I see Velveeta has already posted it (the English translation).
