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.

I'm with you ... bin Laden is kooky as a bed bug but I don't think he was stupid enough to sit in Tora Bora and wait for the B-52's ... he rallied a bunch of useful idiots and now he's hiding out in Pakistan or Mecca or Medina drinking some Boone's Farm and eating Pork Rinds watching reruns of "The Beverly Hillbillies" ... (ok that part about "The Beverly Hillbillies" might not be true) ...

I am one of those rare FReeper who is convinced Bin Laden is alive..

Call it gut instinct..

You know that if bin Laden shows up breathing, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong.

Having said that, imho, bin Laden became worm food on Dec 12, 2001. May he rest in pieces with chitterlings in his grave.

Alive and probably in Iran.

Clearly whoever made this tape meant it to do something. A general rant against Americans and arab rulers is nothing special by itself.

I think he's alive, too, Dog.

People talk about his frequent appearances on video before 9/11 but if you think about it, that's not really true. For a long time, even before 9/11, most of what we saw was old file footage from the CBS interview years ago. The guy is not a camera hog.

That we don't see a bunch of recent tapes of him doesn't tell me a thing except that he's really following his MO.

It doesn't have to be a woman to get explosives on board . A simple operation and they could be sewn into the abdomen of a man,including a remote controled detonator.Something tells me this is gonna get worse before it gets better.I am not a fan of genocide, but........
