'Bin Laden' Tape Urges Ongoing Fight With Israel

Posted May 16, 08 7:05 AM CDT in World 

(Newser) – Just in time for Israel’s 60th anniversary, a speaker claiming to be Osama bin Laden has released a new audio recording calling for Muslims fighting Israel not to “give up a single inch of Palestine,” the BBC reports. The tape, posted on a website frequented by al-Qaeda, couldn’t be verified as authentic. The 9-minute message said that the Palestinian cause was the key factor driving al-Qaeda's war with the West and that it had sparked the 9/11 attacks on the US.

    Does al-Qaeda Do the Fist-Bump? Terrorists aren’t big on fist-jabbing or bumping—they’re all about kissing and hugging, writes Juliet Lapidos for Slate in the aftermath of the New Yorker's depiction of knuckle-knocking Obamas, a move referred to by Fox News as a “terrorist fist-jab.” Al-Qaeda members, she writes, are likely to enlist a common Middle Eastern welcome of three cheek-to-cheek embraces.   More »
