Bin Laden Urges Jihad Against Israel
[AP] Lee Keath - Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden urged Muslims to launch a jihad against Israel and condemned Arab governments as allies of the Jewish state in a new audiotape message posted Wednesday. The al-Qaeda leader also vowed to open "new fronts" against the U.S. and its allies beyond Iraq and Afghanistan. Bin Laden and his lieutenants frequently use the Palestinian issue to try to rally support for al-Qaeda and often call for holy war to free Jerusalem. But there has been little sign that the terror group has carried out attacks in Israel.
