>Paper Has Video Of Bin Laden Reportedly Filmed In Mar
>
>LONDON -(Dow Jones)- The Sunday Times newspaper said it has obtained an
>encrypted video containing previously unseen footage of Osama Bin Laden
>which includes a section reportedly shot just eight weeks ago.
>If the film is genuine, it would provide the first evidence that Bin Laden
>has survived the U.S.-led campaign against his al-Qaida network.
>
>The film was passed by a Pakistani intelligence official to an Islamic news
>agency in Birmingham, the newspaper said. The official said the segment had
>been filmed in March.
>
>The segment shows Bin Laden sitting under a tree outside a stone building on
>what appears to be a spring evening, wearing a camouflage jacket and an
>Afghan pakul hat, the newspaper said. He is filmed discussing jihad and
>martyrdom with several armed henchmen, the paper said.
>
>Another section features an interview with Bin Laden carried out last
>October by a reporter from the Al-Jazeera television station, the newspaper
>said.
>
>In it, Bin Laden makes clear that any country siding with Israel and America
>is a target for Islamic terrorists. "The war is between us and the Jews," he
>says. "Any country that steps into the same trench as the Jews has only
>herself to blame."
>
>The interview has not been broadcast to date because Al-Jazeera executives
>judged that they had not had sufficient control over the interview, the
>paper said.
