OSAMA bin Laden plans a TV suicide that will trigger attacks on landmarks in London, Paris and the US.
His estranged wife Sabiha said last night he would order his elder sons to shoot him rather than be captured.
Sabiha, 45, added: "That will be the signal for a new wave of terror. The targets this time would be the Capitol building in Washington, Big Ben in London and the Eiffel Tower in Paris."
Her claims were broadcast on Russian television as al-Qaeda boss bin Laden reportedly led 1,000 loyalists into forests in Afghanistan after being flushed out of his Tora Bora caves.
New evidence has also emerged of his role in the September 11 atrocities in America.
In a 40-minute video tape obtained by the Pentagon, he described the damage around the twin towers as "greater than expected" and praised Allah for the success of the attacks.
Bin Laden, 44, whose Saudi family run a multi-billion dollar construction business, is said to have 15 children by three or four wives.
Estranged wife Sabiha, who abandoned him after he took another wife aged 17, revealed the "suicide" plan on Russian TV channel, TV6.
Sabiha said he wanted his death and ultimate martyrdom filmed by the al-Jazeera TV network, based in Gulf state Qatar.
It has broadcast several of bin Laden's rants against the West since September 11.
Yesterday bin Laden's mother Alia spoke for the first time about him, saying she was not angry with him - just disappointed by his ideas and actions.
"Like all mothers, I am satisfied and pleased with my son and pray to God to guide him and save him," she told a Saudi newspaper. The family disowned him in 1994.
The fresh tape evidence of bin Laden's involvement in the twin towers horror is said to have been found in a private home in Jalalabad.
US Vice President Dick Cheney said: "He does, in fact, display significant knowledge of what happened and there's no doubt about his responsibility."
On the tape, bin Laden said he was at a dinner when he was told the first plane had crashed into the Trade Center.
He shared the information with other guests and some expressed surprise. He told them to stick around and then the second plane hit and they cheered.
The tape also shows that bin Laden was amused some of the hijackers were unaware it was a suicide mission.
A US official said: "He is amused by the fact that some of these people who were martyred, they thought they were just taking part in a hijacking.''
A second, hour-long tape, obtained by the Mirror in Kabul, shows bin Laden's hatred of America. It opens with newsreel footage of Bill Clinton and George Bush on "Muslim soil".
Jabbing his finger, bin Laden urges his al-Qaeda fighters: "Our priority... is to rise up against America."
BIN LADEN BELIEVED ABDUCTED BY ALIENS - SUICIDE BY SONS NIXED
Another failed GOD, another failed religion.
Where is the voice a single Arab Leader defending Christians against Islamic Violence? Just one leader's voice... The so called leaders of the Arab countries are not leaders, but rather poll watchers like the clintons....

Read Bodansky's Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War On America.
It's pretty clear that we're dealing with an entire cabal of fruitcakes, and incomprehensibly evil and dangerous ones at that.
On the plus side, their ultimate Islamist goal is doomed to utter failure, and they're going to destroy Muslim aspirations in the process. On the minus side, they'll probably do a lot more serious damage before they've been fully exterminated. As everyone has been saying, that will take many years.
And as Bodansky said on the tube a few weeks back "We're witnessing the beginning of world war."
What a hoot! LOL! Family values, al-Qa'ida style.
This guy has a thing for blowing the civic phallus.
No it's...
Pay per bullet.
The more lead the more you pay!
The more blood the more you pay!
ROFL...really, maybe it is the scorned wife that is encouraging the son to shoot him and using it as a terrorist threat.
al-Jazerra is the official terrorist network, once we are done w/ Al Queda we need to move onto television stations that sponsor and reinforce terrorism.
Nah, he's Osama bin Lewis
Good point. Maybe for the same reason Charles Manson didn't kill anyone at the Tate house.
Basically, they are cowards and always get other people to do their killing for them.
