(May 16, 2008)—In a new audio tape, Osama bin Laden is promising al-Qaeda will continue its holy war against Israel and its allies until it liberates Palestine.
The recording was released as President Bush was wrapping up his two-day visit to Israel.
Bin Laden says the fight for the Palestinian cause is the most important factor driving al-Qaeda's war with the West and is what fueled the 9/11 attacks.
The nearly 10-minute message can't be authenticated but was posted on a Web site commonly used by al-Qaeda.
