Bin Laden wants Musharraf 'removed'

Osama bin Laden has called for Pakistan's president to
be toppled from power.
In a new audio message found on major Islamist
websites on Thursday, the al-Qaeda leader called on
Pakistanis to rebel against General Pervez Musharraf
for the killing of a Muslim cleric during the bloody
end to the siege at Islamabad's Red mosque in July.
"We in al-Qaeda organisation call on God to witness
that we will retaliate for the blood of
Abdul Rashid
Ghazi and those with him against Musharraf and those
who help him, and for all the pure and innocent
blood," said the speaker on the recording who sounded
like bin Laden.

"So Pervez, his ministers, his soldiers and those who
help him are all accomplices in spilling the blood of
.... Muslims. He who helps him knowingly and willingly
is an infidel like him," the tape said.
"It is obligatory for Muslims in Pakistan to carry out
jihad and fighting to remove Pervez, his government,
his army and those who help him."
More than 100 of Ghazi's followers - sympathetic to
the Taliban - were killed in the Red mosque standoff.
Bin Laden's audiotape, issued by al-Qaeda's media arm
as-Sahab and monitored by the US-based Site
Intelligence Group, was part of a 23-minute video
which carried an English translation of his remarks
and showed old footage of him and other figures of his
movement.
The tape posted on major Islamist websites could not
be authenticated.
'No change'
Pakistan's military and the US dismissed the threat on
the tape.
Major-General Waheed Arshad, Pakistan's chief military
spokesman, said: "We are already committed to fighting
extremists and terrorists - there is no change in our
policy."
The US state department said it was "going to continue
to work with Pakistan".
Tom Casey, a spokesman, said: "I don't think it
changes at all our co-operation or our desire to work
with President Musharraf and the people and government
of Pakistan to confront al-Qaeda and confront
extremism in that country."
Al-Zawahri video

US and its allies around the world [AFP]
Ayman al-Zawahri, al-Qaeda's second-in-command, also
called on Pakistanis to avenge the Red mosque killing
in a separate video aired on Thursday.
"Let the Pakistani army know that the killing of Abdul
Rashid Ghazi and his students and the demolition of
his mosque and two madrassas have soaked the history
of the Pakistani army in shame ... which can only be
washed away by retaliation against the killers of
Abdul Rashid Ghazi and his students."
Al-Zawahri also called on Muslims to fight the US and
its allies around the world.
"Stand oh nation of Islam under the victorious banner
of the Prophet... and campaign against the Crusader
banner of [President George] Bush," he said.
"What they claim is the strongest power in the history
of mankind is today being defeated in front of the
Muslim vanguard of jihad six years after New York and
Washington," said al-Zawahri, who was speaking in
front of a packed book case with a rifle leaning
against it.
"The coalition of the Crusaders has begun to fight the
fight of the desperate ... by increasing its bombing
of civilians to discourage them from supporting the
Taliban," he added.
"Go forth ... to the mujahidin, bear them arms, back
them, defend them and don't be intimidated by the
power of America for these two blessed attacks have
revealed that it is a power of iron and fire, with no
faith or morals or principle."
He also praised the actions of al-Qaeda-linked groups
fighting in Afghanistan, north Africa, Somalia,
Chechnya and Iraq.
