Oil prices are currently going up.. Bin Laden Denounces Saddam February 11, 2003 MSNBC television report this afternoon that their translation of the latest Osama bin Laden tape being read on Al-Jazeera television contains an appeal to the Iraqi people to overthrow Saddam Hussein. The online story now claims that this was a mistake, that Osama only denounced Saddam as an 'infidel." The original story contained this sentence in the second paragraph: At the same time, the message also called on Iraqis to rise up and oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who is a secular leader. This AP story mentions that "he denounced Saddam's secular, socialist al-Baath party as 'infidels.'" This Reuters story says that bin Laden tells Muslims not to support "the ignorant governments that rule all Arab states, including Iraq," and that he urges support for the Iraqi people rather than the Iraqi goverment. It appears that, for some reason, the media has made a decision to bury this part of the message. No English news outlet has yet made a translation available.
