Osama bin Laden Takes Credit For Christmas Terror Plot

IntelCenter: Could be indicator of upcoming plot.

In a new audio tape Osama bin Laden reportedly has taken credit for a thwarted attempt to bring down Detroit-bound flight 253 on Christmas Day.

Speaking in an audio recording released after Britain raised its terror threat level, the al-Qaeda terror chief also threatened fresh attacks against American targets.

He praised Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian who tried to blow up a Delta Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit with explosives concealed in his underpants, as “a hero”.

Although he did not claim direct responsibility for the attack, bin Laden said that Abdulmutallab’s mission was intended to “re-affirm” the message sent to the United States on September 11, 2001.

One U.S. intelligence official in Washington said there is “no evidence whatsoever” that bin Laden had any involvement on the Christmas Day attack or even knew about it beforehand. The tape message suggests the bin Laden wants to appear as though he is in direct command of al Qaeda’s affiliates around the world at a time when many analysts say he is primarily a figurehead.

The one-minute recording, which bin Laden directed personally to President Barack Obama, sought once again to draw a direct link between al-Qaeda’s terror campaign and US support for Israel.

“America will never dream of living in peace unless we live it in Palestine,” bin Laden is heard to say in the recording, which was broadcast by al-Jazeera television in Qatar. “It is unfair that you enjoy a safe life while our brothers in Gaza suffer greatly.”

Osama bin Laden’s word choice in the latest audio message attributed to him is seen as a “possible indicator” of an upcoming attack by his Al-Qaeda network, a US monitoring group warned Sunday.

IntelCenter, a US group that monitors Islamist websites, also said that manner of the release and the content of the message showed it was “credible” that it was a new release from the Saudi extremist. Source

  • Bin laden is another fruitcake, with all the pecans rattling around in side. Man’s loose as a goose! His elevator cables don’t go all the way to the top, and his electrical power lines are shorted out!
