Bin Laden's Videotape Reminder that He is Still Alive and On the Run.
WHITFIELD: Osama bin Laden's latest videotape is a stark reminder that the world's number one terrorist is still alive and on the run. Another videotape obtained exclusively by CNN suggests the hunt for al Qaeda militants is becoming more dangerous and challenging. Here is CNN's Nic Robertson.</s>NIC ROBERTSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): From Pakistan's troubled south Waszeron (ph) province, a highly-produced Jihad-y video, the first of its kind from the tribal region bordering Afghanistan. It delivers an unambiguous message: kill Pakistani president per investigate Musharraf. The video shows what it claims to be the American bombing of a religious gathering in the south Waszeron (ph) on the 9th of September. The same day Pakistani officials say they bombed an al Qaeda training camp in the same area. CNN cannot verify all the material. Indeed, the U.S. bomber seems to be from another time and place completely. As the propaganda video continues, bodies are shown littering the ground. And addressing a crowd of tribesmen the religious leader Malone Asudean (ph) claims that women and children were killed. My brothers, he shouts, it's the conspiracy of the Jews and Christians to collide the people against the army. A few weeks later in the capital of Islamabad where he represents south Waszeron (ph) in Pakistan national assembly he explains the Musharraf (ph) is doing all this because the Americans have told him to and he does it to make them happy. He claims to have welcomed the Pakistani army when it began its first ever crackdown in the semiautonomous tribal region almost a year ago. But as the combined hammer and anvil hunt for Osama bin Laden with U.S. forces on the Afghan side of the border grew he said he saw injustice. Now Pakistani officials are seeing an increasingly organized resistance. That goes well beyond the new propaganda video. So far, at least 171 Pakistani soldiers have been killed. Many by roadside bombs. The Pakistani army does claim some successes in Waszeron (ph). More than 200 Jihadists captured or killed, they say, including foreign fighters.</s>ROBERTSON (on camera): What is startling about this propaganda video is not that it threatens the life of one of the United States biggest allies in the hunt for Osama bin Laden, after all, President Musharraf has already survived three assassination attempts in the last year and a half. But in the very area where the hunt for the al Qaeda leader is most critical the battle is getting measurably tougher. Nic Robertson, CNN, Islamabad, Pakistan.</s>WHITFIELD: All right. Not long from now, "CNN Live Sunday" continues with Carol Lin.</s>CAROL LIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We have a lot going on. Tonight at 6:00 we're going to be going behind the scenes of the "Saturday Night Live Political Special" every year, we're just talking about some of our favorite moments like the dancing Janet Renos and anyway we're going to go behind the scene there is. And also at 10:00 tonight we have a segment called "Hot Topic" which is a real hot button issue. I was talking with our military intelligence analyst Ken Robinson who was saying more U.N. workers now kidnapped in Afghanistan now. He's saying if the media outlets completely stop airing this videotape you will immediately see these kidnappings stop. He saying we have a huge influence on that. We're going to debate that point. Obviously self-censorship is not only the best in a democracy. But he's saying in this case it could save lives.</s>WHITFIELD: Oh, interesting. All right, we will be tuning in for that hot topic and more. Thanks so much Carol. Well, star power and the final push to get out the vote. Coming up, the man behind the message Vote or Die, and what he's doing to encourage young people in the presidential elections.
