Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born terrorist wanted by the United States for allegedly masterminding the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa in April 1998, is soliciting volunteers from among Muslim youths in Pakistan to engage in war against the United States.

The call to arms against Washington has come in the form of small, glossy, poster-sized messages depicting burning U.S., Indian and Israeli flags, as well as a "locked and loaded" image of an AK-47 rifle.

The messages are being circulated in Pakistan's staunchly conservative Northwest Frontier Province and say, "The youth should contact us as soon as possible. Territorial boundaries have no importance in our eyes. All land belongs to God."

Written in Urdu, the native language of the region, the message condemns U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia, bin Laden's home country.

"Our jihad (holy war) will continue until America is expelled from Saudi Arabia and other countries of the world," said the message. "It is our responsibility to free the world from their (U.S.) control. ... The non-Muslim world should know it well that a Muslim is always ready to die in the name of God."

Vowing to continue his battle against the U.S., the message added, "I am not afraid of America. I will continue my work. No one can stop me." The statement is credited to bin Laden.

Last week, Pakistani officials offered to help mediate talks between the U.S. and Afghanistan to extradite bin Laden. The terrorist is suspected of hiding out with the help of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia. So far, the Taliban has refused, calling bin Laden a "guest" of the nation.

Meanwhile, the United States and United Nations have imposed sanctions on the Taliban to press for bin Laden's extradition.

Last year, U.S. forces, working in conjunction with the CIA and FBI, were tasked with locating bin Laden in Pakistan and parts of Afghanistan and engaging in high-risk missions to capture him.

WorldNetDaily reported that at least three U.S. commandos who were on one such top-secret mission are now missing inside Afghanistan, and the U.S. Embassy in neighboring Pakistan was desperately trying to ascertain their fate, though officially denying any tragedy involving U.S. nationals.

The "search and capture" missions reportedly were approved after meetings between President Clinton and then-Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, where Sharif pledged to cooperate in exchange for the easing of sanctions the Clinton administration imposed on Pakistan after the nation conducted underground nuclear weapons testing last spring.

In August of last year, information surfaced indicating that bin Laden may also have been able to purchase suitcase-sized nuclear bombs stolen by Chechen rebels from Russian military sources.
