Laden threatens new suicide missions

Doha, October 18
Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden today threatened to carry out new suicide missions in the USA and to attack any forces joining the US-led coalition in Iraq, in a tape broadcast by Qatar’s Al-Jazeera satellite channel.

“We will go on fighting you and we will carry on martyrdom (suicide) operations in and outside the USA until you stop being unjust,” he warned in an audiotaped “message to the American people” aired by the Doha station.

Al-Jazeera said bin Laden was addressing two audio messages to the Iraqi and American peoples saying that the United States “has got bogged down in Iraq and advising the US army to leave it.” — AFP
