Bin Laden says Iraqi government "infidels"-Jazeera alertnet.org DUBAI, Feb 11 (Reuters) - A taped message believed to be from fugitive militant Osama bin Laden branded Iraq's government on Tuesday as "infidels" but said Iraq's leaders shared his goal of fighting the United States. The audio tape, broadcast on the al-Jazeera television network, said that in the fight against America "the interests of Muslims coincide with the interests of the socialists" -- a reference to the secular Ba'ath party of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The statement said that Iraq's rulers had "lost their credibility long ago" and that "socialists are infidels wherever they are". The United States has accused Iraq of links with al Qaeda. But bin Laden has often criticised Saddam, whose rule has been marked by purges of Islamists. Saddam said earlier this month he had no links with al Qaeda.
