Bin Laden makes new threats against West

Terrorist leader Osama bin Laden issued ominous new threats today, apparently seeking to justify attacks on civilians in the West and calling on his followers to go to Sudan to fight a proposed UN force in Darfur.

In his first new message in three months, the al Qaida chief also said in the audiotape that the West’s cut off of aid to the Palestinian Hamas-led government proved Washington and Europe were conducting “a Zionist (Jewish) crusaders (Christian) war on Islam”.
