NEW QAEDA TAPE RELEASED
A tape carrying a voice purported to be that of Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's deputy, has been released calling for attacks on British and American interests.
The voice also demands Muslims fight to "liberate Palestine".
The Egyptian is believed to be Osama bin Laden's right-hand man and one of the architects of the September 11 attacks on the US.
In the recording he says it is the duty of every Muslim to "liberate Palestine" from Israel.
He said Muslims must attack Americans and Jews and spoke of resistance in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Chechnya.
And he says "crusaders" in the Muslim world must be defeated.
The voice on the tape is said to sound similar to previously recorded messages attributed to him.
