NEW YORK (AP)  -- Osama bin Laden, who has threatened to extend al-Qaida's terror to Israel, will release a new Internet message dealing with Israelis and Palestinians, a terrorism monitoring group said Thursday.

The announcement of the impending comments by the head of al-Qaida was posted on Web sites often used by Islamic militant groups, the SITE Intelligence Group said.

Bin Laden's statement, ``The Causes of Conflict on the 60th Anniversary of the Establishment of the State of Israeli Occupation'' and will be addressed to the ``Western peoples,'' SITE said.

Israel has been celebrating the anniversary of its independence, but the occasion has also been mourned by many Palestinians as a reminder of their uprooting.

The Internet message _ expected to appear within 72 hours of the advertisement _ will be bin Laden's second this year and the seventh since the start of 2007, part of an overall increase by al-Qaida in the pace of Internet statements.

In a December, the terror leader offered an unusually direct attack on Israel and stepped up al-Qaida's attempts to use the Israeli-Arab conflict to rally supporters.

``We intend to liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea,'' he said, threatening ``blood for blood, destruction for destruction.''

Israel has warned of growing al-Qaida activity in Palestinian territory, though terror network is not believed to have taken a strong role there so far.
