11 February 2003: 492 days have passed since America launched its latest Crusade against Islam and its people. A number of Muslim prisoners were captured in this Crusade and taken to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba where their beards were forcibly shaved and they are being held in cages subject to Malaria, heatstroke and other tropical diseases.

Bin Laden Issues New Audio Statement to Coincide with Muslim Eid Festival

BIRMINGHAM (AZZAM): Usama Bin Laden has issued a new statement on the current military buildup in the Middle East, to coincide with the Muslim Eid Festival. The statement, consisting of an audio recording and an English transcript, have been released by Al-Ansaar News Agency in Birmingham, UK. The statement highlights a number of points, including:

- The true aims between the Bush-Blair Alliance of war on Iraq, including Greater Israel
- The lack of action by the leaders of the Muslim countries in the region, all of whom are actually collaborating with the Crusaders

- A history of Mujahideen attacks against America, including the 11 September attacks
- A comparison of the leaders of the Muslim World today, to Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan
- The restrictions placed upon the Muslims from the leader, scholars, ministers and writers and ways to remove these obstacles

- That the way to the victory of Islam is through hardship and sacrifice so those scholars and spokesmen unable to bear these, must not make things difficult for the Mujahideen

- The current state of the Jihad against the Americans as it has entered its second year
- Ibn Taymiyyah's description of the situation today, written several hundred years ago

An Al-Ansaar News Agency spokesman said that the full MP3 audio recording of the statement, accompanied by the PDF English transcript, will be available for public release on Waaqiah.com and other web-sites.

still can't find the transcript though. It's amazing though, that the media just assumes Powell is wrong without even looking.

Al-Jazeera is claiming that there is no tape.

Life's a b*tch, ain't it?

Well, since Azzam says it's authentic, then it must be!

[Danette]

Al-Jazeera and Al-Ansaar are not the same.

[mhking]

Heads up!

[P.O.E.]

Hey Al-Qaeda, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean we're not out to get you.

Fox is reporting the tape will be played on Al-Jezaeera TV at 1;45 eastern..

Bin laden is blowing around in some dust storm somewhere.....

[marshmallow]

Audio. Uh huh.

Post 9/11 this guy was waving his finger at us every couple of weeks. Now we get "audio".

Is this a new, more retiring Bin Laden, or did all the video equipment get fried at Tora Bora?

Maybe....maybe not...but it seems someone wants to tie Osama's bloody corpse to Baghdad.

Saddam is crapping his drawers about now.

Al-Jazeera is claiming that there is no tape.

Fox News just reported that Al-Jazeera is now saying the have the tape and they are suppose to out some kind of statement in about 45 minutes

[fight_truth_decay]

Fox News responds on "no tape with "no comment" by Al-Jazeera

[fight_truth_decay]

They have air-conditioning in their cells. Remember the story "torture by air-conditioning"? that came out several months ago.Explaining the "force of cold air" that was set off in the cells?" ;)

good post. thanks.

[Tamzee]

Al-Jazeera wants to extend their broadcast across America and they can't even be immediately truthful about whether a tape exists or not?? ... scary, scary thought

[Dog]

What I think is going on is Al-Jazerra was holding this tape in reserve for a special occasion(get my drift) and Powell just outed them...

Someone gave us that transcript ......and it forced AJ to produce the tape....because other arab sites were leaked a copy by our intel people...
