Bin Laden calls for jihad against Darfur peacekeepersThe Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt: Al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden called for a holy war against a proposed peacekeeping force in Sudan's war torn region of Darfur in a message that appeared on jihadi Web sites Tuesday.
The audio recording was accompanied by a still picture and excerpts were aired by pan-Arab satellite news channel al-Jazeera on Monday. Bin Laden called on those living in the areas surrounding Darfur, particularly the Arabian peninsula, to drive out any foreign forces in the region.
"It is the duty of the people of Islam in the Sudan and its environs, especially the Arabian Peninsula, to perform jihad against the Crusader invaders and wage armed rebellion to remove those who let them in," he said, according to a transcript provided by IntelCenter which monitors jihadi Web sites.

In the sections of the message broadcast Monday, Bin Laden took the highly uncharacteristic step of admitting the movement had made mistakes and chiding in followers for not uniting their ranks -- a reference to the squabbles among the various insurgent groups in Iraq.
"Everybody can make a mistake, but the best of them are those who admit their mistakes," he said. "Mistakes have been made during holy wars but mujahideen have to correct their mistakes."

Bin Laden also called on Arabs from around the region to join the fight in Iraq.
