Bin Laden urges Egyptian militants to break Gaza blockade

Osama bin Laden released a new message yesterday that accused Arab leaders of sacrificing the Palestinians and called on Muslim militants in Egypt to help break the blockade of Gaza.

“Those [Arab] kings and leaders sacrificed Palestine and Al-Aqsa to keep their crowns... But we will not be relieved of this responsibility,” Bin Laden said in the audio message posted on an Islamic militant website.

Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City is one of the holiest sites for Muslims.
