    Just in time for the election, you knew he'd appear.

    Bin Laden threatens new attacks


    Bin Laden likened the US to 'corrupt' Arab governments
    Arabic TV station al-Jazeera has broadcast a videotape apparently featuring Osama Bin Laden, in which he threatens new attacks on the US.

    In his opening remarks, the al-Qaeda leader accused President George W Bush of deceiving Americans in the years since the 11 September 2001 attacks.

    The development comes as US voters prepare to go to the polls on Tuesday in the presidential election.


    Bin Laden said he first thought of attacking the US after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.

    He said the attacks on the US would have been less severe if President Bush had been more alert.

    But he added that the security of the American people depended neither on Mr Bush nor on his challenger, John Kerry, but on US policy.

    Clearest admission

    "Despite entering the fourth year after 11 September, Bush is still deceiving you and hiding the truth from you and therefore the reasons are still there to repeat what happened," he said.

    Correspondents describe Bin Laden's remarks in the video as the clearest admission yet that he was behind the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.

    It was not obvious when the video was recorded.

    If genuine, this is the first videotape of Bin Laden speaking to have surfaced since the US-led war in Afghanistan following the 11 September attacks.

    However, several audio messages believed to be from Bin Laden have emerged since then.

    The most recent, posted on a website known to be used by Islamist militants, strongly criticised the US and coalition forces in Iraq and ordered a jihad, or holy war, against them.

    Why does'nt he display a copy of the current copy of Newsweek? It wouold be so much easier to decide if its new footage or a ploy...!

    Mike.

    Why should Bin Laden have to prove that he is alive and well. Imho he is, and even if was dead, there are plenty waiting to fill his shoes.

    Who knows in this world who is guilty of the worst inhumane atrocities. I put Bin Laden lower on my list of killers than the American military or the British, or the Chinese.

    I could go on, but people tend to believe the brain washing crap they have been fed since childhood by the world dominating and totally corrupt Capitalist elite via their media outlets TV, Radio, Press etc. That the Bastards own and control totally.

    If you tell someone enough times that a black wall is white, they will eventually start to believe you, just ask any psychologist ?...
