["From India's point of view, the most important point in the message, allegedly of Osama bin Laden, broadcast by Al Jazeera on February 11, 2003, is the inclusion of Pakistan in the list of so-called anti-Muslim, apostate States which have to be liberated by Muslims by waging a jihad against it. [...] There are some interesting aspects of the way bin Laden's message has been disseminated by the USA's CNN and the UK's BBC. The CNN's initial versions omitted bin Laden's reference to Pakistan, whereas the BBC has referred to it." - b.raman]
