Al-Sahab: Usama Bin Laden to Make 'Powerful Speech' to 'Islamic Nation'

CAIRO, Egypt – The media wing of Al Qaeda says Usama Bin Laden soon will issue a new message addressed to the Islamic world.

Al-Sahab posted a banner Sunday on a militant Web site known for carrying the terror network's messages. It said a "powerful speech to the Islamic nation," will be issued soon.

The announcement comes after a message from Bin Laden on Friday marking the 60th anniversary of Israel's foundation in which he vowed to continue his struggle against the Jewish state.

Messages typically appear within 72 hours of being announced.
