    I should have added in the spirit of even handedness:

    < "Bin Laden, forever the opportunist, will continue to seek to capitalise
    on issues and events for his own propaganda purposes in the hope that it
    will feed him more recruits," he said. "Just as he sought to use East Timor
    as a linkage point into South-East Asia, he now seeks to use Iraq for wider
    appeal in the Middle East and beyond.

    "But of one thing we can be absolutely certain; a peaceful solution to the
    current situation will be irrelevant to bin Laden's intent and purpose -
    al-Qaeda will seek to follow through on whatever it may be planning at
    present and its targets of first choice will remain innocent civilians." >
