WASHINGTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - The voice on a new audio tape urging European countries to end military cooperation with U.S. forces in Afghanistan appears to be Osama bin Laden's, a U.S. counterterrorism official said on Thursday.

"The voice appears to be that of bin Laden," the official said.

1. "Yes," he continued...

..."you have no idea how hard it was to get someone who sounded like bin Laden. Our regular guy was busy playing Tevye in the road company of 'Fiddler on the Roof,' so we were really stuck. We tried the fella who usually plays 'swarthy terrorist number 4' in '24' but he's left acting and is studying to be a chiropractor in Jersey City. It's really amazing how few good 'bin Laden's' there are left. In the end, Harvey Fierstein agreed to have a go and, you know, with a bit of work in the audio lab, he doesn't sound half bad."

Topol=Tevye, Topol was the actor that played him in the movie.
