Analysts say bin Laden shifts to political appeals to split allies
Intelligence experts say Osama bin Laden moved from overt calls for conflict to political arguments in a new two minute tape to sway moderates and undermine US Middle East policy. The message ties al Qaeda to Abu Musab al Zarqawi and urges Iraqis to abstain from elections.

Syrian leader denies aiding insurgency amid US Iraq pressure
Damascus rejects claims it hosts Iraqi insurgents and funds arms. Foreign Minister Farouk al Sharaa says Iraqis have money and arms, denies Syria's involvement, and accuses Washington of scapegoating. US and Iraqi officials cite border routes and former regime elements in Syria aiding militants. Allawi accuses Damascus as a conduit and seeks cooperation to hand over suspects.
