<<<-- DJ Annan Rejects Bin-Laden's Charge That UN Sides With US -- UNITED NATIONS (AP)--U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Monday firmly rejected Osama bin Laden's criticism that the U.N. has thrown its support behind America's military action in Afghanistan. "Naturally he disagrees with it and hopes that Muslims and other people around the world will not be misled by it," U.N. deputy spokesman Manoel de Almeida e Silva said. In a videotaped statement broadcast Saturday on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden harshly criticized the world body and accused it of siding with the U.S.. "Without any evidence, the United Nations issues decisions supporting the oppressive, tyrannical and arrogant America against those oppressed who have emerged from a ferocious war at the hands of the Soviet Union," he said, referring to the Afghan struggle against a decade of Soviet occupation. Bin Laden also condemned Arab leaders who turn to the U.N. for peace negotiations, saying that amounted to a renunciation of Islam. The U.N. imposed sanctions on Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia in 1998 for harboring bin Laden, who is the main suspect in a number of terrorist attacks, including the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States. Almeida e Silva said Annan hoped that people "understand that the United Nations is the expression of the will of all its members. The membership organization is universal, as are the principals enshrined in its charter. The U.N. does not represent any particular culture or the views of any single member state." Al-Jazeera, based in the Gulf emirate of Qatar, has broadcast five communiques from bin Laden or his al-Qaida organization since U.S.-led airstrikes began Oct. 7. The station said the video was delivered to its office in the Afghan capital of Kabul and news coordinator Ali al-Kaabi said the tape was made in the past week. That would make it the first bin Laden tape recorded after the airstrikes began. (END) DOW JONES NEWS 11-05-01 03:31 PM- - 03 31 PM EST 11-05-01
