Bin Laden blasts middle east peace efforts

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden urged Muslims to continue fighting a holy war rather than co-operating with Middle East peace efforts, in a new tape aired on Al Jazeera satellite channel.

In a voice purported to be bin Laden, the speaker, who referred to recent events, called on Muslims to “continue the jihad to check the conspiracies that are hatched against the Islamic nation”.
