Al-Jazeera broadcasts an audiotape purporting to be by Bin Laden in which he praises terrorist attacks in Bali, Moscow and against a French tanker off the coast of Yemen. On November 18, after completing a technical and linguistic analysis, US intelligence officials confirm that it is Bin Laden and that the recording was made in recent weeks. This makes the tape the first definitive evidence in almost a year that the al-Qaida leader is alive, but doubts emerge over its authenticity in the weeks that follow.
The recording warns US allies against following the "oppressive American government", naming Britain among a handful of western countries. It is also critical of Australia's role in East Timor. "They ignored our warning and woke up to the sound of explosions in Bali, but the government pretended they were not the target," the voice says.
