militant Web site where al-Qaida's media arm, Al-Sahab, frequently
posts messages, 06 Sep 2007An Islamist web site says it will soon
carry a new video from al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden declaring war
on Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and the country's army.

The posting Thursday, did not say if bin Laden would appear on the
video or his message would be carried on an accompanying audio tape.

Hours earlier, al-Qaida released a new video from bin Laden's deputy -
Ayman al-Zawahiri - condemning the Pakistani military's assault in
July on Islamic militants who took over the Red Mosque in the
Pakistani capital of Islamabad.

In that video, Zawahiri paid tribute to the militant leader Abdul
Rashid Ghazi, who was killed in the raid, and called for revenge.

Earlier this month, bin Laden appeared on a video and urged the
American people to reject democracy and embrace Islam if they want to
end the war in Iraq.

It was al-Qaida chief's first video appearance in nearly three years.

Bin Laden and Zawahiri are believed to be hiding in the border area
between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The United States has offered a $25
million reward for the capture of either man.
