'Bin Laden message' set for Iraq war anniversary

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden will be issuing a new message around the fifth anniversary this week of the US-led invasion of Iraq, a militant website with close connections to the group said tonight.

“Urgent, very soon by the will of God,” read the announcement of the new message “the response is what you see and not what you hear, by the warrior sheikh, Osama bin Laden.”
