CNN.com: Al-Jazeera broadcast Monday an audio message purportedly from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden calling on al Qaeda and other groups in Iraq to unify their forces and speak with one voice, that of the Islamic nation.
The Arabic-language broadcaster said the tape was titled “Letter to the People of Iraq.”
The message includes no dated references, making it impossible to determine when it was taped based on its contents. In the message, bin Laden calls on his followers to be loyal to the Islamic nation, not to individual leaders, groups, tribes or countries.
The tape marks the first time bin Laden speaks directly to the militants.
“Beware of your enemies, especially those who infiltrate your ranks,” he said in Arabic.
Did Laura Mansfield figure this out herself, or did the rest of the terrorism analysts help?… Terrorism analyst Laura Mansfield told CNN that while the September 20 message was directed at the Pakistani people, “the simultaneous release of transcripts in English, Pashto and Arabic indicate the terror group is looking at a wider audience, including the English-speaking world.”
no, she beat it out of the terrists
More hooey from Zionists.
Investigate the provenance or chain of custody of this audio and chances are it originated in Langley, VA or Dallas or Houston, TX.
It amazes me how quickly people will feed into these audio/video tapes - no authentication, no dated references - watch how fast this blows up (pun intended).
Blah, Blah, Blahhhhhh!! To equate this to our country, a statement from Osama Bin Laden in 2007 is the equivalent to ex-President Jimmy Carter making a statement about the current state of gas prices. It has little to no relevance.
Bin Laden is the Muslim Martin Luther King, meaning that they’ll name their kids after him and maybe a couple of camel paths, but in the end he’s just the figurehead of a situation that has long since grown bigger than him.
Since he’s the “name” though, the media gloms onto any little spec of information put out by him. People in Iraq are concerned about what Bin Laden has to say? Doubtful. The people of our country need to pay a lot more attention to what’s being said in the Sunni communities of Iraq, or to the rantings of Al Sadr. That will tell you a WHOLE LOT MORE of what is truly going on in the Iraqi people’s heads.
