There have been calls to postpone the election because of the ongoing insurgency, but US President Bush has insisted the vote be held as scheduled.

Osama bin Laden endorsed Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi as his deputy in Iraq and called for a boycott of next month's elections there in his latest audio tape.

The tape also called for attacking pipelines, planting mines and killing people who work for the occupation forces.
