'Bin Laden' tape appears on Islamic websites
An audiotape purportedly from Osama bin Laden calls US President George W Bush “stupid” and claims American war plans against Iraq are part of a plot to attack Muslim nations in the Middle East and North Africa.
The tape appeared to be the same 53-minute recording of which a few excerpts were released on Thursday by the British-based Islamic Al-Ansaar news agency. It began appearing in full today on Islamic-oriented websites. Al-Ansaar had said it acquired the tape from a seller who advertised it over the Internet.
