Bin Laden to release new message

Dubai: Al Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden will soon have a new message for the public, the terror group said in an Islamist website.

"Soon, God willing, a new message from the lion Sheik Osama bin Laden, may God protect him, to the Europeans," says a banner posted on the website on Monday.

"Let this message be posted by various Western websites so that we deliver to them the truth of their lost war and (confront) them with the purposely hidden fact," it said, adding that the message was produced by Al Qaida media arm As-Sahab.

It did not give any further details.

Bin Laden's last message was released on October 22, when the Saudi-born militant urged unity between Iraq's Sunni rebels.
