Al-Qaida second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri has claimed that Osama Bin Laden is alive and in good health.

"Sheikh Osama bin Laden is in good health," said Mr Zawahiri during an internet message.

"The ill-intentioned always try to circulate false reports about him being sick."

Mr Zawahiri also called for attacks on Jewish people in Israel and abroad.

"We promise our Muslim brothers that we will do our utmost to strike Jewish people in Israel and abroad with help and guidance from God," he said.

There was also support for recent attacks on the United Nations with the Al-Qaida deputy claiming: "The United Nations is an enemy of Islam and Muslims," during his 90-minute message.

The message follows an audio recording released last month calling for attacks on American and Israeli interests.

Bin Laden and Mr Zawahiri are both believed to be in hiding in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
