Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network has threatened more suicide jetliner attacks against the United States and Britain amid the military strikes against Afghanistan, in a message broadcast by the Qatar-based al-Jazeera television network tonight.
"The storm of airplanes will not be calmed, if it is God's will," bin Laden aide Suleiman Abu Ghaith said in a recorded message.
"The storm will not calm as long as you (the United States and Britain) do not end your support for the Jews in Palestine, lift your embargo from around the Iraqi people, and have left the Arabian peninsula," he said.
"We tell and recommend Muslims not to get on airplanes and not live in towers and high buildings" in the countries which have carried out air and missiles strikes agianst Afghanistan, he said.
In a further development of the anthrax scare gripping the US, a letter sent from Malaysia to a Microsoft office Nevada state has tested positive for traces of anthrax, local authorities said.
However there are no reported cases of anthrax infection stemming from the incident.
