Washington: Osama bin Laden extols the "winds of change" blowing in the Arab world and asks Muslims around the world to keep the present day revolutions from running out of steam, in a new audio tape apparently recorded a few months before his death. Al Qaeda has released a new "posthumous" 13-minute audio tape of bin Laden which has an apparent reference to revolts in Tunisia and Egypt and includes still images emblazoned with an old picture of the al Qaeda leader. This is the first audio message of bin Laden released by al Qaeda after his death. "Al-Qaeda's media arm, as-Sahab, released a posthumous audio from slain al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden addressing Muslims in regard to the revolutions sweeping the Middle East and North Africa," SITE Intel Group said.
