Bin Laden video praises martyrdom
Updated on 15 July 2007
Osama bin Laden has praised martyrdom in a new video posted on a militant website by al Qaida's media production wing.
The bin Laden clip, which lasted less than a minute, was undated and part of a 40-minute video featuring purported al Qaida fighters in Afghanistan paying tribute to fellow militants who had been killed in the country.
Bin Laden glorifies those who die in the name of jihad, or holy war, saying even the Prophet Muhammad "had been wishing to be a martyr".
