Al-Jazeera airs purported bin Laden tape
Audiotape: 'The real battle has not started yet'
Wednesday, September 10, 2003 Posted: 3:44 PM EDT (1944 GMT)
Al-Jazeera aired a video in which it said Osama bin Laden appeared with his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.
(CNN) -- On the eve of the second anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Arabic-language news network Al-Jazeera broadcast Wednesday what it said was a new videotape of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his top deputy and audio voiceovers urging Muslims in Iraq to "devour the Americans."
In the audiotape accompanying the video, a voice purported to be that of Bin Laden's chief deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, warned that the battle with the United States was far from over and exhorted fighters in Iraq to "bury them [the Americans] in the graveyard of Iraq."
The purported voice of Al-Zawahiri also said the United States has so far experienced "just the first skirmishes" and not yet begun to realize the true volume of its casualties.
"Those fighters in Iraq, we greet them and salute them and support them and ask God to bless their efforts and their bravery in fighting the crusaders, and we tell them God is with you and the nation is supporting you, depend and rely on God and attack and devour the Americans and bury them in the graveyard of Iraq," the voice said.
It warned that "the real battle has not started yet. Prepare yourself for the punishment for your crimes."
"We recommend to the mothers of the soldiers, if you like to see your sons, then hasten to ask your government to return them rather than coming back to you in coffins," the voice said.
The videotape on Al-Jazeera showed bin Laden and al-Zawahiri walking down a rocky hillside path. It's not known when or where the videotape was shot, but Al-Jazeera speculated it could have been in April or May. It's also unclear when the audiotape statements were recorded.
On the audiotape, a voice claiming to be bin Laden praises the suicide hijackers who crashed jetliners into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field two years ago, killing more than 3,000 people.
"Those who don't agree with killing, then let them step out of the way," he says. "I would say to them, those who are afraid of climbing mountains will live in pits and holes."
The purported voice of al-Zawahiri also addressed "our Muslim brothers in Palestine."
"The wound of Palestine is bleeding in the heart of every Muslim, and with the help of God we will not let America enjoy peace and security until the Palestinian issue is resolved," the voice said.
"We tell them we are on the path of jihad, and we ask that the Muslim brothers not to be deceived by America," the voice said. "Palestine will not be liberated but with jihad, so never, never give up your weapons."

I always wondered why the US never chased after him. I makes sense though the US wants him to get bold and come out of hiding. Its hard to hunt an insect like him. I bet the US has intelligence everywhere just waiting for him to pop up.
The downside is his followers they are radicals that will go beserk if he is killed. Sort of like the radicals in Iraq that seem to never stop with the small annoying attacks.
I hope nothing goes down tomarrow.

thats what guerilla warfare is all about, you cant very well stand up to an enemy that would destroy you in a head on fight. you have to hit and run.
the guy is completely insane, but he certianly does manage to stir up up the anti-american sentiment among the locals.

Damn if they offer that kind of money on his head, Im heading to IRAQ who is with me? hehe
Hell I would do it for $20 and a case of beer.
Anyway I think the guy has no ***** either way, I hate to get into potitics, but he is a putz I swear.
Just remember that Jackass Iraq Army guy saying, "americans are not in Bagdad", "No americans here", Boom boom boom "What was that?" "I dont know but its not Americans" Funny how that guy never showed up on the news again. I dont remember his name but Im sure some of you know who im talking about.
For years and years those armies have been talking *****, and just talking mind you.
Hummm what wins a stupid RPG (rocket propelled gernade) or a 500lbs bomb? Hummm 500lbs are the small ones, we are trying to keep peace or at least make it. There hasnt been peace over there since the dawn of time and I guess thats OUR fault. It maybe an uphill battle but I know there are PLENTY of soliders, sailers and pilots ready to make it happen at any time........

osama is most likely dead. when he fled from his hiding place near the beginning of his war he left his dialasis machine behind which he needs to live. and where he is its EXTREMELY difficult to obtain another one of thse.
