In an audiotaped message broadcast on the Arabic television network Al Jazeera Thursday, Osama Bin Laden warned of new attacks on the United States. Warning Islamic militants were prepared to carry out further attacks, Bin Laden said “[that] reality testifies to the fact that the war against America and its allies is no longer restricted to Iraq, as [Bush] claims, but rather Iraq has become a centre that attracts and renews the energies of those who are qualified (to fight).” Bin Laden added: “mujahedeen have been able to infiltrate all the security measures taken by the unjust allied countries time and time again, and the proof of that is the explosions you have seen in the capitals of the most important European countries in this aggressive alliance. The delay in the perpetrating of similar operations in America is not because of an inability to penetrate your security measures; the operations are being prepared, and you will see them in the midst of your own territory.” Making repeated references to opinion polls showing growing US opposition to the war in Iraq, Bin Laden said: “We have no objection to responding to this with a long-term truce based on fair conditions… so that both sides in this truce can enjoy security and stability. And let us build Iraq and Afghanistan, both of which war has destroyed. There is nothing shameful about this solution, even though it prevents billions of dollars from finding their way to the powerful and to the war mongers in America who supported Bush’s election campaign with millions of dollars.”
