(IsraelNN.com) Arch-terrorist Osama Bin Laden called for Palestinian Authority Muslims to begin a “holy war” on Israel in a videotape broadcast on Thursday on the pan-Arab Al-Jazeera television station.  Bin Laden told the PA to stop negotiations with Israel, saying they would not manage to “free Palestine” without using “fire and iron.”

Bin Laden said his group, Al-Qaeda, would increase its efforts to “free Palestine, all of Palestine, from the Jordan to the sea.”  Defense officials have warned that Al-Qaeda operatives have managed to infiltrate Gaza since the Hamas takeover last year, and are active in local terror cells.
