August 1996 Declaration of War
On or about August 23, 1996, Usama bin Laden signed and issued a Declaration of jihad (holy war) from Afghanistan entitled, "Message from Usama bin Laden to his Muslim Brothers in the Whole World and Especially in the Arabian Peninsula: Declaration of Jihad Against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Mosques; Expel the Heretics from the Arabian Peninsula."
February 1998 Fatwa Against American Citizens
In February 1998, Usama bin Laden and his close associate, Ayman al Zawahiri, endorsed a fatwa under the banner of the "International Islamic Front for Jihad on the Jews and Crusaders." This fatwa, published in the newspaper, Al-Quds Al-Arabi, on February 23, 1998, stated that Muslims should kill Americans - including civilians - anywhere in the world where they can be found.
May 1998 Fatwa
On or about May 7, 1998, bin Laden associate Mohammed Atef sent Khaled al Fawwaz a letter discussing the endorsement by bin Laden of a fatwa issued by the "Ulema Union of Afghanistan" which termed the U.S. army the "enemies of Islam" and declared jihad against the U.S. and its followers. The fatwa was subsequently published in Al-Quds Al-Arabi.
Bin Laden Endorses the Nuclear Bomb of Islam
On or about May 29, 1998, bin Laden issued a statement entitled "The Nuclear Bomb of Islam," under the banner of the "International Islamic Front for Fighting the Jews and Crusaders," in which he stated that "it is the duty of Muslims to prepare as much force as possible to terrorize the enemies of God."

Was that before or after the Taliban made him commander of the armed forces?
But then again, does it matter?
To: Kerensky
To translate a little, King Fahaad of Saudi Arabia is "The Keeper of the two Holy Mosques" When his name is mentioned by the press, his primary title "Keeper of the Two Holy Mosques" is ALWAYS mentioned.
Bin Ladin is declaring war also on the Saudi Royal Family and the nation of Saudi Arabia. He is declaring that HE will wrest control of the mosques in Mecca and Medina from the Saud family and return it to tribes from Jeddah who have a more pure interpretation of the Koran.
Saudi Arabia has been in the war, as a combatant, on our side for some time.
Rememberalso, Kuwait was promised to the Palestenians by Saddam. Palis were installed as the government in Iraqui ocupied Kuwait. Saudi Arabia led the charge into the rescue effort of Kuwait.
The headline of this thread is wrong by not including the Saudi nations and that of all other nonfanatic Islam

bin laden says he wants to wrest control of the Mosques Mecca and Medina give Saudi Arabia back to the Jeddah tribes. bin laden is banned from entering Saudi Arabia and he has been for years because of his terrorist activities. bin Laden's family is not part of the Saud family but it looks like he would still like to overthrow the ruling family. It is about Wahhabism and about cleansing Saudi Arabia of Americans and other foreigners. Whoever rules Saudi Arabia is in control of Mecca and Medina. I just don't know if he can pull it off but this is my opinion... thanks for showing the quote to me!

I don't think I understand how this helps AQ politically.
I mean is Al Jazeera going to finally show the faces of the children and women injured by these cowardly terrorists?
It's one thing to be a man and fight like one. It's another thing to pack a car with explosives, shoot guards who are little more than security guards with little armament, and then shoot civilians as they run.
This is pure and simple cowardice.
They are acting like 3 year olds with a tantrum but having explosives or worse.
