| New Bin Laden video shown on Al-Jazeera television station Al-Jazeera has broadcast a video tape which purports to show Osama Bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahri. In the tape al-Zawahri calls on Iraqis to ‘devour’ their American occupiers and said that ‘the real battle with the United States has yet to begin’. al-Zawahri made a firm link between future al-Qaeda and the Israel - Palestinian peace process, saying: "We will not let America enjoy security until security becomes a fact in Palestine." Zawahri also warned that al-Qaeda's strikes so far were no more than ‘skirmishes’ and the ‘real epic’ with the United States had yet to begin in earnest.
