Bin Laden slams Europe for anti-Islamic cartoons
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden addressed the “wise men” of the European Union in a new audio message slamming the publication of drawings insulting to the Prophet Muhammad and vowed a strong reaction.
The message, which appeared on a militant website that has carried al-Qaida statements in the past and bore the logo of the extremist group’s media wing al-Sahab, showed a still image of bin Laden aiming with a AK-47.
