Al-Arabiyyah pulls Binnyâs rerun tape
The satellite channel Al-Arabiya has now withdrawn a tape it broadcast Saturday containing a voice claiming to be that of Osama bin Laden. Al-Arabiya gave no reason for pulling the tape, but a rival channel claimed it aired the tape two months ago. Al-Jazeera said it broadcast the same material in October. On the tape, a voice claiming to be that of bin Laden praised attacks on U-S forces in Iraq. It also said the Americans were waging a "new crusade against the Islamic world." A journalist reached at Al-Arabiya said the tape has been withdrawn and wonât be aired again. The journalist refused to elaborate.Posted by: Dan Darling 2003-12-21 |
