CIA identifies Osama bin Laden’s voice on tape

The American Central Intelligence Agency has determined that the voice on a tape claiming preparation for an al-Qaeda attack on the United States was that of Osama bin Laden. The BBC reports that the tape was played by the Arab network al-Jazeera, the first public communication from the terror group's leader since December 2004. The CIA says technical analysis indicates that the voice on the tape is that of Osama bin Laden. The threats made against the US are therefore being taken very seriously.
