Joining Media Chorus, bin Laden to Celebrate Israel's 60th Birthday

So nice of the corpse to check in. Maybe while he's at it, he'll offer Barack Obama direct negotiations.
An impending message from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was announced on Islamist Web sites and discusses the 60th anniversary of the state of Israel, U.S.-based terrorism monitors said on Thursday.

The announcement appeared on various militant message boards on the Internet with a banner announcing Israel's anniversary as the topic, said the monitoring service of the U.S. author and analyst who goes by the name Laura Mansfield.

The speech is addressed to "Western peoples" and entitled "The Causes of Conflict on the 60th Anniversary of the State of Israeli Occupation," the SITE Institute monitoring group said. The monitor IntelCenter said the statement was expected to be released within 72 hours.
Al Qaeda seems to have been hampered by its efforts at establishing itself in Gaza, as the Obama-supporting goons from Hamas are resisting somewhat. Maybe Barry O can do a three-way and weave his oratory magic on them.
But despite calls by al Qaeda supporters for the militant network to establish a presence in Palestinian areas, U.S. intelligence officials see no evidence it has done so. It is believed al Qaeda faces competition for turf in the areas from the well-established Hamas.
Update: Good Lord, the AFP can barely hide its contempt.
Despite a massive manhunt and a 25-million-dollar bounty on his head, he has evaded capture and has regularly taunted the United States and its allies through warnings issued via video and audio, mainly on the Internet.

Israel proclaimed its independence on May 14, 1948, which it consolidated in a brief war with its neighbours that led to the expulsion or flight of some 700,000 Palestinians.
WTF?
