UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, Afghanistan - Fugitive militant Osama bin Laden called for Muslims worldwide to continue their Holy Jihad against the West in another pre-recorded video tape released yesterday.

has-bin

This tape was markedly different from his prior broadcasts since the September 11th attacks allegedly instigated by bin Laden which killed some 4500 people on U.S. soil, in that it gave specific examples in ways everyday Muslims could contribute to his holy war against the United States and their allies.

"Every little bit counts," said Osama, "we're not asking you to give up your own life or even kill anybody, just whatever YOU can give to the
cause.

"An easy way to contribute that is still very effective", Bin Laden continued, "is through the subtle use of anti-American sarcasm." Osama then demonstrated what he described as his "favorite way to erode the cultural foundation of the infidels."

While watching what appeared to be the opening of Game 7 of Major League
Baseball's World Series, Osama stood and unraveled his turban while
placing his hand on his chest. Then, as the televised audience mouthed the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner", the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist
network loudly joined in, using only the word "blah" instead of the actual lyrics and sarcastically rocking his head from side to side to the music.

Another clip from the video showed Osama intently listening to the Voice of America radio broadcast. Each time any mention of American military might was broadcast, Osama would nod his head enthusiastically, turn to the camera and make an exaggerated "jacking-off" motion with his right hand. The clip featured a voice-over of Osama himself saying, "let's show the voice of UNamerica what we think of their programs."

The video concluded with a close-up of Bin Laden offering these parting words, "After long deliberation, we have finally decided that our actions were wrong, and applaud President Bush and his broad-based coalition of western powers for their actions in Afghanistan. Allah praises the work they have done and there will be a special place for them all in heaven, but only after what I hope are long and happy lives here on Earth. NOT."
