Sudan: UN dismisses bin Laden call to oppose Darfur force

UN diplomats brushed aside on Monday a call by Osama bin Laden for Muslims to rise up against the West in Sudan, and vowed to go ahead with plans to send peacekeepers to the embattled Darfur region. The al Qaeda leader, in an audio tape broadcast on Al Jazeera television, said the United States and Britain, by pushing for a UN force in Darfur, were plotting to dismember Sudan. He urged his followers to rise up against them.
