Pakistan denies having him, Bin Laden warns the US of unexpected results
Regional, Politics, 12/28/2001

While Pakistan has strongly denied the existence of Osama Bin Laden on its territories, Bin Laden has warned in a video tape broadcast by the Qatari al-Jazira station on Thursday evening the US and professed of unexpected results for the US regardless to his own fate and the fate of al-Qaeda network he presides over.

In the said video tape, Bin Laden said the attacks of September 11 at the US were " blessed strikes," adding that the attacks which targeted Afghanistan by the US and the international alliance were based on mere suspects without giving evidences on that, as he claimed.

Bin Laden said it is important to strike the US base of America, which is the ground for the military base in it. If their economy ends they will be preoccupied by controlling weak peoples.

He added that those who carried out the attacks against the US had given the hard lesson to those " intransigent peoples" which see no meaning to freedom unless they follow the " white race." Bin Laden stressed that the conflict with the US is very grave not only for Muslims but also for the world as whole. He said what the US accuses " the few people whom he described as Mujahedeen for the sake of the God" is not built on an evidence, rather on repression and aggression, as he claimed.

He added that the alleged terrorism practiced in all its forms in Palestine and Iraq where one million Iraqi children were killed, noting that the " nation" should wake up to find out a solution for this crisis which threatens humanity as a whole.

The duration of the tape lasted for 33 minutes and al-Jazira TV said it was registered 15 days earlier.

To this effect, news reports said that Bin Laden seemed very obvious while his left arm stayed unmoved, a situation which raises questions on his health conditions.

Meantime, an Afghani official announced that Bin Laden is in one of the Pakistani areas, but Pakistan firmly denied these information and stressed they are groundless.
