'Bin Laden tape' says al-Qaeda behind Christmas plot
BBC News ^ | January 24, 2010 | Staff

Posted on 01/24/2010 4:32:40 AM PST by MaestroLC

A tape said to be from Osama Bin Laden says al-Qaeda was responsible for a Christmas plot to blow up a plane.

In the newly released audio tape aired on al-Jazeera, Bin Laden also warns the US there will be more attacks if it continues to support Israel.

"If it was possible to carry our messages to you by words we wouldn't have carried them to you by planes," the tape says.

The authenticity of the tape has not been verified.

It says: "The message sent to you with the attempt by the hero Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is a confirmation of our previous message conveyed by the heroes of September 11."

Obama DOES NOT support Isearl. If he DID, Hamas wouldn’t have ENDORED his toffee colored behind. The election’s over, it’s too late to vote, so shut up Binny, and crawl back into your grave.

Why do I have this feeling that we must know if Bin Laden is alive or not. Voice recognition evaluation would easily authenticate the voice.

I think he’s dead, but he is better thought to be alive than dead and martyred.

Is there anyone on FR who has the capabilities of taking known voice records of him and compare with the one released now?

That’s right, he wasn’t part of any larger terror network, nor did he ascribe to any.

Nothing here...move on...

Thank you Mr. President for keeping us safe. Can’t wait to hear your State of the Union speech. What will that be #423 speech of your presidency?

You’re going to go down in history as one of the great ones. I can’t wait until you’re tested, so we’ll see how you respond in a real crisis.

Good thing Abdulmutallab didn’t succeed, because if he had brought that plane down... WOOOOO LOOK OUT!!!! you would have really done those terrorists in.

Isn’t it funny that any ham-and-egger can get a video of his uncle falling into the kiddie pool up on youtube in about 45 seconds, but Bin Laden hasn’t appeared in an anyway convincing video in more than five years?

He’s dead, Jim.

Campaign slogan:

Do you feel safer with a government that gives terrorists lawyers, before questioning them?

That is what democrats want. Do you want a democrat?

We should be so lucky to see Obama that often.
