Arafat Bin Laden Tape offers Hudna to the really gullible Europe
From Drudge
Arab television stations aired a new audio tape purportedly from Osama bin Laden on Thursday offering a truce with European states if they stop attacking Muslims, but not with the United States.
| "... 'cuz they're nasty..." |
The voice on the tape, broadcast by Dubai-based Al Arabiya channel and then by Qatar-based Al Jazeera station, said there would be no truce with the United States. The taped message also vowed revenge on Israel for the death of Hamas leader Ahmed Yassin, killed last month in Gaza.
| He and Binny were such good friends... |
The tape said the March 11 train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 people were payment for Spainâs actions in Iraq, Afghanistan and "Palestine." "What happened on September 11 and March 11 are your goods returned to you so that you know security is a necessity for all," the voice on the tape said.
| Some of us took it as killing bad guys is a necessity for all. We'll see if it eventually sinks into the thick Spanish head that way... |
Madrid sent troops to Iraq after Saddam Hussein was toppled and also has a contingent in Afghanistan.
| They don't have any troops in Paleostine, but that doesn't matter... |
Militants claiming links to al Qaeda have claimed responsibility for the Madrid bombings, which have raised pressure on the government to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq.
