Osama bin Laden


Al Jazeera bericht: 'Bin Laden: West waging a crusade. Al Jazeera has received an audiotape "The blockade which the West is imposing on the government of Hamas proves that there is a Zionist crusaders war on Islam," he said. The tape has not been independently verified, although the voice sounds similar to that on previous tapes from the al-Qaeda leader.During the recording bin Laden also said the Western public shared responsibility for the actions of their governments, particularly for what he called their attacks on Islam. "The war is a responsibility shared between the people and the governments," he said. "The war goes on and the people are renewing their allegiance to its rulers and masters.""They send their sons to armies to fight us and they continue their financial and moral support while our countries are burned and our houses are bombed and our people are killed." The comments appeared to be an effort to justify attacks on cvilians in the West. 'Long war.' At other points in the message, Bin Laden also spoke about the conflict in Iraq and, for the first time, the crisis in Darfur, Sudan. He urged Muslim supporters to go to Sudan to foil what he called Western, especially American, efforts to divide the country."I call on mujahidin [fighters] and their supporters, especially in Sudan and the Arab peninsula, to prepare for long war against the crusader plunderers in Western Sudan."Our goal is not defending the Khartoum government but to defend Islam, its land and its people," he added.'
