On Islamist Websites: Bin Laden Calls On Pakistan Muslims To Launch Armed Struggle Against Regime

Today, September 20, the Islamist websites are circulating a recording by  Osama bin Laden accusing Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf of treason and of serving U.S. interests against Islam, and calling on Pakistan's Muslims to launch an armed struggle to remove him from power.

In the recording, which features an audio of bin Laden's voice against a backdrop of stills and old footage, bin Laden also calls on the Muslim soldiers in the Pakistani military to desert, because the Pakistani army and regime are "the enemies of the Islamic nation."

Finally, bin Laden vows in the name of Al-Qaeda to avenge the blood of the jihad fighters, including Sheikh Abd Al-Rashid Ghazi.
