In audio tape, Osama bin Laden vows never to be captured alive

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - In an audio tape posted on a militant website Monday, a voice purporting to be that of Osama bin Laden vowed never to be captured alive and declared the U.S. military in Iraq had resorted to the same "barbaric" tactics used by ousted President Saddam Hussein.

The tape appeared to be a complete version of one that was first broadcast Jan. 19 on Al-Jazeera, the satellite channel, in which bin Laden offered the United States a truce but also said his al-Qaida network would soon launch a fresh attack on American soil.

"I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don't want to die humiliated or deceived," bin Laden said.
