In an audio message broadcast by Al-Jazeera television on Saturday, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden accused moderate Arab leaders of 'conspiring with the West'. He did not name names but said, "some Arab leaders were complicit with the Crusader Zionist alliance against our people".
The al-Qaeda leader described Israel's January military offensive in the Gaza Strip as a 'Holocaust' and called for a holy war to free Iraq from US forces and for jihadists to launch attacks against Israel from Jordan. The tape has not yet been authenticated.
Osama bin Laden's last message was on January 14 when he called on Muslims to take revenge against Israel for the Gaza offensive. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, the al-Qaeda leader has released around 60 audio and video messages.
