New Laden Tape
Attacks on US being prepared
Afp, Dubai
al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden warned that new attacks are being prepared on the United States, according to an audiotape attributed to him and broadcast on Al-Jazeera television yesterday. Bin Laden had previously not been heard of since a December 27, 2004 audiotape in which he anointed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraq's most wanted man, as al-Qaeda's leader in the war-torn country. In December last year, Al-Jazeera aired a videotape it said dated back to September showing al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri claiming that bin Laden was still alive and leading "jihad" or holy war against the West.
