DUBAI, Aug 12 (AFP) - An Islamic website said Thursday an audio message is due to be released by al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden or his number two to declare the end of a truce offered to Europe if it pulls out troops from Iraq."Expect an audio message from Sheikh Osama bin Laden or Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri," said a statement on the Minbar Ahl al-Sunna wal Jamaa website, which has repeatedly posted terror-related news and videos by various shadowy groups.
"To all Muslims: expect an audio message from Sheikh Osama bin Laden on one of the satellite channels during which he will announce the end of the truce that he has given to the Europeans for a pullout from Iraq," it said.
The authenticity of the statement could not be verified.
In a taped message broadcast by the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television on April 15 the Al-Qaeda chief offered peace to European states that refrained from aggression towards Muslims and pulled their troops out of the Muslim world within three months.
European leaders promptly dismissed the offer, saying the idea of negotiating with Bin Laden was absurd.
On Tuesday, the Al-Qaeda-linked group Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, which claimed deadly terror attacks in Turkey and Spain, warned of more such strikes in Europe.
It was the latest in a series of warnings attributed to the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades since the expiry on July 15 of Bin Laden's truce offer.
This is the signal the CIA was waiting for. This should be the call for the operations inside the USA to begin.
opening ceremonies friday night.
"Expect an audio message from Sheikh Osama bin Laden or Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri," said a statement on the Minbar Ahl al-Sunna wal Jamaa website, which has repeatedly posted terror-related news and videos by various shadowy groups.
He's dead. Jim.
WWIII???
Scorpion through the eye hole of his skull dead.
Looking for a recent video of Bin Laden? I don't remember one this year.
We're acting alone, except when we aren't. There's no connection between Saddam and terrorism, except when there is.
It's rather Kerry-an isn't it? I mean, that guy's even Catholic, except when he's Jewish.
Is the this the trigger message?
"Expect an audio message from Sheikh Osama bin Laden or Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri,"
Wait a minute!!
Isn't Al-Zawahiri the one that's been living and running his 'operation' in Iraq since he was chased out of Afghanistan?
Hasn't the left been telling us that there is no 'working' relationship between Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri??
That he was a 'renegade' and not aligned with Bin Laden?
I wonder what they would say to this??
I know! Al Qaeda is lying!
It's moments like this that Traitor Kerry would want us to be.......... "sensitive"!
No, you're thinking of Zarqawi. Zawahiri has long been associated with bin Laden and is thought to be somewhere in Pakistan.
That was 'sarcasm' BTW!
That was 'sarcasm' BTW!
Can't be 'insensitive' ya know!
Binny seems angry that he wasn't allowed to speak at the Democrat's Convention due to a scheduling conflict.
"Osama bin Laden or his number two to declare the end of a truce offered to Europe if it pulls out troops from Iraq."
Leftist reporters constantly spin the jihadis' statements to mean only Iraq. It satisfies their prejudices.
May God be there Judge, as the United States and it's allies
continue to fight the Anti_Christ around the world.
It is The Golden Rule that has been broken by our enemies, it is up to us to insure the The Golden Rule is protected at all costs, or freedom will be lost on planet earth.
Could you please get your dancing turd off of my "New posts to you page"? I don't want it there all day. Thanks.
