Reuters; BBC. 26 December 2001. Bin Laden: Attack on US to Stop Support for Israel; 'New' Bin Laden TV broadcast. LONDON -- Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted man, said on a video broadcast by al-Jazeera satellite television on Wednesday that the September 11 suicide attacks were intended to stop U.S. support for Israel. "Our terrorism against the United States is worthy of praise to deter the oppressor so that America stop its support for Israel, which is killing our children," the bearded, Saudi-born fugitive said. He added that the tape was being issued to mark about three months since the attacks on New York and Washington and two months after the United States began its bombing of Afghan targets. In the recording, Bin Laden condemns the West for excessive bombing of Muslims in Afghanistan, referring specifically to an attack during Ramadan prayers a few weeks ago. "The latest events have proved important truths," he says in the recording. "It has become clear that the West in general and America in particular have an unspeakable hatred for Islam." Looking tired but calm, bin Laden was dressed in a clean, camouflage-patterned combat jacket. He sat against a cloth or canvas screen, his Russian-designed submachinegun propped beside him. Al Jazeera said the wording on the tape indicates that it was recorded within the last two weeks. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
