Osama Bin Laden Calls for Jihad in Gaza

According to the New York Times, Osama bin Laden released an audiotape urging young men to resist the recent Israeli invasion of Gaza. Israel's occupation, aimed to break the back of Hamas, which is the majority political party and a military organization in Gaza, has now lasted nineteen days and caused hundreds of casualties. If real, this is the first tape that Mr. bin Laden has released since May, said the Times.
