Osama bin Laden tape released posthumously
A tape recorded by Osama bin Laden before his death in an American special force raid earlier this month has been posthumously released on Islamist militant websites, the Guardian reported.
The message, recorded some time in the 10 weeks before the 54-year-old al-Qaida leader was killed in Pakistan on May 2, praises the Arab spring protest movements across the Middle East and predicts that revolutions will spread.
"I think that the winds of change will blow over the entire Muslim world, God willing," Bin Laden said in the 12-minute message.
