An Islamic internet site issued a letter of Osama bin Laden that urges the Afghans to continue their Jihad, or holy war, against the United States, the Oriental radio reported on Sunday.
The site of "Jihad online" released bin Laden's letter in Arabic, which said "Afghan people should keep up their Jihad" and anticipated "the infidel states, firstly the United States, will collapse soon."
The letter also accused the United States of committing crimes that "betray all virtues of human beings."
The radio quoted a spokesman of the site as saying that they got the four-page manuscript from an Afghan source, which was said to be written by bin Laden several weeks ago.
"In that case, bin Laden is still alive at a place", the spokesman said.
Saudi-born dissident Osama bin Laden was held responsible for the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the United States last year, which killed thousands of people.
