Bin Laden condemns Blair in 'clear threat'

Terror leader Osama bin Laden has warned Europe of a “severe” reaction to come, in a recording which condemns former British prime minister Tony Blair as well as drawings seen as insulting to the Prophet Mohammed.

The audio message was posted late last night 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. It showed a still image of Bin Laden aiming an assault rifle.
