Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, has released an audio address to the American people, warning them over their government's close ties to Israel.
Reports on Monday from two separate monitoring groups said that in his latest recording, bin Laden blamed the wars on the "pro-Israel" lobby and corporate interests.
"The time has come for you to liberate yourselves from fear and the ideological terrorism of neo-conservatives and the Israeli lobby.
"The reason for our dispute with you is your support for your ally Israel, occupying our land in Palestine."
There was no independent confirmation that the voice on the tape was that of Bin Laden.
Obama 'powerless'
The address to the American people comes two days after the anniversary of the September 11 attacks in 2001 in which nearly 3,000 people died.
The al-Qaeda leader typically addresses the US in a message around September 11.
The 11-minute video shows a still picture of bin Laden while the audio of the address plays.
In his message, bin Laden says there has been little change in the White House under Barack Obama, the current president and that Obama is "powerless" to stop the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
He also appears to refer to criticisms Jimmy Carter, a former US president, made in June of Israel's Gaza invasion earlier this year.
In the tape, bin Laden makes reference to Obama's speech in Cairo in June, suggesting the message was recorded afterwards.
The website where the message was posted had earlier said it would carry a "present" to Muslims from bin Laden on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.
Bin Laden's last apparent message was issued just before Obama's speech, where the president talked of a "new beginning" between the US and the Muslim world.
