"In his latest video message after three months on the lam, a gaunt Osama Bin Laden urged Muslims to wage economic holy war against a "fragile" America. "It is important to concentrate on the destruction of the American economy," Bin Laden says on the 33-minute tape, broadcast in full yesterday by Al Jazeera TV in Qatar. "If their economy ends, they will become too busy to enslave oppressed people." Bin Laden bragged that the attacks caused losses of "more than a trillion dollars on the New York market and elsewhere."

• "This economic hemorrhaging continues until today but requires more blows. And the youth should try to find the joints

of the American economy and hit the enemy in these joints."...

Bin Laden, 44, said America was on the verge of collapse and that even his own death could not stop it.

"We say that the end of the United States is imminent - whether Bin Laden or his followers are alive or dead - for the awakening of the Muslim nation has occurred," he says on the tape, which was air-mailed anonymously to Al Jazeera from Pakistan."...
