AFP News Briefs ListBin Laden to deliver 'strong message' to Muslims: website
Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden will shortly deliver a "very strong" message to Muslims, a website used by Islamist militants announced on Sunday.
"To the Islamic ummah (nation), soon, God willing, a very strong address from the lion of Islam, Sheikh Osama bin Laden," the Internet site said.
The announcement comes two days after an audio message posted on the Internet in which bin Laden slammed Western leaders for taking part in Israel's 60th birthday celebrations and vowed that Muslims would fight and not give up "one inch of Palestine."
