WASHINGTON: A videotape of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden released on Friday is the Pashto-language version of a tape released several months ago, said IntelCenter, a US-based terrorism monitoring firm, Reuters reports.

The tape, titled ‘To Our People in Pakistan,’ was broadly released in Arabic and Urdu on July 12, IntelCenter said.

Excerpts had been aired by the Al Jazeera television network on June 3, it added.

Earlier on Friday, IntelCenter had said Al-Qaeda’s as-Sahab Media had released a new video from bin Laden on 6 Nov. 2009.

In his remarks broadcast by Al Jazeera in June, Saudi-born bin Laden said US President Barack Obama had planted the seeds of ‘revenge and hatred’ toward the United States in the Muslim world and warned Americans to prepare for the consequences.

In an audio message posted on a website in September, Osama warned Americans over their government’s close ties with Israel.

Osama is believed to be hiding in the mountainous border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

More than 60 messages have been broadcast from bin Laden, his second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri and their allies since Al-Qaeda’s Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
