New Bin Laden Message: To the people of Europe


As-Sahab - Osama bin Laden To Send New Message To Europe

November 26, 2007


SITE Intelligence Group has learned that a new message is forthcoming from Usama bin Laden, the head of Al-Qaeda, addressing the European people. The message is produced by As-Sahab, the multimedia arm of Al-Qaeda. The announcement of this impending released was posted to jihadist forums today, Monday, November 26, 2007.

It carried the statement,”Soon, God willing, (we will post) a new message to the European people from the lion Imam who defeated the Americans and tyrants, Sheikh Osama bin Laden,” said the pro-al Qaeda Web site which regularly posts messages from the militant leader.

“Let this message be posted by various Western Web sites so that we deliver to them the truth of their lost war and (confront) them with the purposely hidden fact,” it said, adding that the message was produced by al Qaeda media arm As-Sahab.

It did not give any further details.

The Web site did not give a specific timeframe, but usually messages are released within 72 hours after they are announced.

Bin Laden’s last message was released on October 22. The Saudi-born militant then urged unity between Iraq’s Sunni rebels.

as-Sahab Orders Cyber Jihadists To Post New Bin Laden Video On Western Websites

November 27, 2007


Osama Bin Laden apparently wants to ensure that a Western audience views his latest video message which is expected to show up on the web in the coming hours.

The new al-Qaeda video containing Bin Laden’s latest message “must be posted to Western websites,” according to the terror network’s media arm as-Sahab. It has ordered cyber jihadists to post the video as soon as it is released.

“You must spread the new message from Sheikh Osama bin Laden in every way, especially via Western websites,” said As-Sahab, which produces al-Qaeda’s videos and audiotapes.

In a web message announcing the imminent posting of bin Laden’s new message, entitled “To the European people”, As-Sahab also gives instructions on how best to distribute the new video.

“Any means of distributing the video should be used in order to get the truth across to them about their war which they are losing and reveal to them the reality which they ignore,” said As-Sahab.

These and other comments posted on the Internet by al-Qaeda followers signal that bin Laden’s new message could cover the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, where troops from various countries are deployed.

Given that it is a message aimed at a Western audience, it is believed to have already been translated and subtitled in English, as have previous messages by bin Laden and by al-Qaeda’s number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri directed at the United States.

The last two messages from bin Laden, released after three years of silence, were those of 11 September and 22 October this year.
The last one, in particular, made history in that it was the first message in which bin Laden admitted that some of his followers in Iraq had made mistakes. It called on Jihadists to unite.

anytime now as in "soon"....

Three guesses as to the contents. The usual--death to the infidel, to America, to those who don't follow Islam. I'll be looking for those little clues, like those who heal will kill--some purposefully hidden fact.

I expect a virus. Maybe it's a good idea to avoid western media websites.

Seems like al-Jazeera tv released only parts of the audio tape from Bin Laden with the rest to be released "soon" on websites.

Bin Laden to Europe: Get Out of Afghanistan

Maddy Sauer and Rehab El-Buri Report:
Osama bin Laden is calling on European nations to end their support of "America's oppression" in Afghanistan in an audiotape message just released.

Video: Listen to an excerpt of Bin Laden's Message to Europe

Bin Laden says he was responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and that the people and government of Afghanistan are innocent victims of America's war there.

Bin Laden said the U.S. pursued a war in Afghanistan despite the fact they had no evidence of a connection to the attacks. He said he attacked America on 9/11 because of the government's involvement in Palestine and Lebanon.

The American tide is retreating," said bin Laden. He warned that the U.S. will soon go back home to their side of the Atlantic Ocean and added that the war in Afghanistan unfairly targets the women and children there.

The audio message was accompanied by an old still photo of bin Laden, but no new video of the terror leader was released today. In September, bin Laden appeared in a video message which was the first time he was seen on video in three years.

The latest audio message from the al Qaeda leader, who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan, aired this afternoon on al Jazeera TV and is expected to be widely distributed online in extreme Islamist forums. The media wing of al Qaeda, as Sahab, began advertising today's message online a few days ago.

Group: Bin Laden to Release Iraq Message

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: December 27, 2007

Filed at 8:58 p.m. ET

NEW YORK (AP) -- Terror leader Osama bin Laden will release a new Internet message that focuses on Iraq, a terrorism monitoring group said Thursday.

The SITE intelligence group said it has learned that the al-Qaida leader will discuss Iraq and the insurgent group the Islamic State of Iraq, which is a front organization for al-Qaida.

SITE, which provides counter-terrorism information to government and private groups, said the announcement of the impending message was posted to jihadist forums earlier in the day.

The posting said the message -- titled `The way to contain conspiracies'' -- would last 56 minutes. It did not say when it would be released, but advertisements for past al-Qaida statements usually give a timeframe of 72 hours.

SITE said the posting was signed by As-Sahab, the production branch that releases al-Qaida messages. It didn't say if it would be a video or just an audio message.

Al-Qaida has dramatically increased the pace of its messages this year.
