Osama bin Laden, chief of Al-Qaeda terror network, hailed the terror attacks in Kuwait, Yemen and Bali and Moscow in an audio tape broadcast by Qatari satellite television channel Al-Jazeera Tuesday night.

In the tape purportedly recorded by bin Laden, the speaker said the killing of a US Marine in Kuwait, the bombing of a French oil tanker off Yemen, the killing of British and Australians in Bali, Indonesia, and the hostage taking in Moscow are "a response to what happened to all Muslim brothers around the world."

He said the attacks were carried out by "sons who are zealous in defending their religion," noting they were a reaction to "killing our sons in Iraq" and Israel's bombing of Palestinian houses with women and old people and children inside with US planes.

The speaker also warned US allies, specifically Britain, France,Italy, Canada,Germany and Australia, not to follow the United States in the war against terror, saying "if you don't like lookingat your dead...so remember our dead, including the children in Iraq."

It is not clear yet if the voice is really that of bin Laden and how the tape was obtained by the TV channel.
