...most recent video releases by Osama bin Laden and Musab al-Zarqawi - and the reactions to them - reveal that the high-profile jihadist carpetbaggers may be finding it harder to maintain a following precisely in those places where local Islamist insurgencies should provide the most fertile ground.

Hamas responded by saying that while Bin Laden was entitled to his own opinions (the implication being that in the case of the Palestinians he should keep them to himself), "We are interested in good relations with the West and we call on the Western countries to reconsider their stance towards the Palestinian cause...
