...Qaeda, for its part, appears determined to exploit such philosophical differences. In bin Laden's TV address that coincided with the launch of the U.S. bombing campaign in Afghanistan, the plight of the Palestinians suddenly emerged as the centerpiece of al Qaeda's propaganda effort. And in a nimble preemptive strike on Qatar's al Jazeera TV network on Friday, Bin Laden's Number 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, insisted that U.S. support for Israel had been the "main engine" behind the September 11 attacks. He also slammed the Bush administration's decision, announced earlier this week, to deny Palestinian leader...
...campaign against terror, so are some of those partners looking for action rather than words from the U.S. in pursuit of Israeli-Palestinian peace. (The Israelis, for their part, are determined to avoid being pushed into an uncomfortable peace agreement as a result of international pressure.) Aware of Bin Laden's propaganda game, the White House has resisted any link between the anti-terror war and Mideast peace - the U.S. and its partners would beat Bin Laden "peace or no peace in the Middle East," Bush insisted earlier this week.

"I don't think Al-Qaeda could escape from such an effort," he explains. "Afghans are pretty wily people. They know where their interests will lie in the future. (Bin Laden) knows that the possibility of his being...
...Turki says putting U.S. commandos on the ground is one possible way of getting bin Laden, but that method certainly won't be easy. "The guy knows the country better than you or I, and he has people who know it better than him," Turki says. "I'm sure throughout the last couple of years he has been planning hiding places for himself, and figuring out routes to get there, and setting up decoys and diversions so that airplanes can't find him, and so satellites don't trace his movements. He is that kind of person...
