President Bush says the release of a new video by al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is a vivid reminder of the dangers still facing the world.

In a video issued ahead of the sixth anniversary of the 11th September attacks, Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has said that the United States was vulnerable despite its economic and military power.

Osama bin Laden will release a new video in advance of Sept. 11 anniversary. The White House said Thursday that any new video from bin Laden would serve to highlight threats the West faces.

A Pakistani official has told a visiting U.S. diplomat that al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden and Taleban leader Mullah Omar are not hiding in southwestern Pakistan. Jam Mohammed Yousaf, the top elected official in southwestern Baluchistan province, also told Richard Boucher that Pakistan is doing all it can to secure the border with Afghanistan.

A senior U.S. official says >Osama bin Laden ordered Al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi, to form a cell in 2005 to plot attacks outside of Iraq and make the United States his main target.

A government-backed pro-Taleban tribal leader in Pakistan says he would provide shelter to Osama bin Laden. Tribal leader Mullah Nazir told journalists in Pakistan's remote South Waziristan district in the town of Wana that he has never met the al-Qaida leader.
