I'm not sure what to make of this. My instinct says that if there was another Bin Laden tape out there, it would have found it's way onto the internet by now but here's an update from tracking terrorism...

Long Awaited Bin Laden Statement, Finally Released?
Source: AP | 10:13:18 AM


We do believe this could be the statement that Al-Jazeera was told to NOT air, and agreed to the embargo. We knew that the tape made references to Pakistan in addition to the United States. It is quite possible that since the video was embargoed, they have released a statement instead.

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - A web statement purportedly from al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden called on Pakistani Muslims to fight, saying their country and neighbouring Afghanistan faced an American invasion.

The authenticity of the statement, which appeared Tuesday on a website linked to Muslim radicals, could not be verified. "We urge our Muslim brothers in Pakistan to use all their capabilities and whatever they possess to prevent the American crusader's troops from invading Pakistan and Afghanistan," said the statement, signed: "your brother in Islam, Osama bin Laden."

The statement also referred to deaths during an anti-U.S. protest in the Pakistani city of Karachi. While violent protests have occurred elsewhere in Pakistan, there have been no reports of a demonstration in Karachi that resulted in fatal clashes.

The statement included a pledge to Pakistani Muslims that "we are steadfast on the path of holy war . . . with the true believers of the heroic Afghan people, under the leadership of Mullah Mohammed Omar."
