Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has claimed responsibility for the failed bombing of a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day. He did so in an audio message broadcast by the Al Jazeera television network.
In the message, which he addressed to United States President Barack Obama, Mr Bin Laden said, “safety in the United States will remain a dream for as long as there is no safety in Palestine".
He also threatened more attacks as long as the US continued to support Israel. He mentioned the would-be bomber of the Christmas Day flight, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, by name and called him a heroic fighter. The 23-year-old attempted to blow up the plane with explosives carried on board in his underwear.
Although the authenticity of the message could not immediately be confirmed, Al Jazeera said it appeared to be the same as those in other messages received from the al-Qaeda leader.

So whats new? Thats all those radical terrorists live for is to kill. I sometimes wonder where God is during all this, why doesn´t God reach down and stomp on these murderers under his foot like cockroaches? It would be nice to live in a violent free world where everyone got along and didn´t fight over religions, money or property but accepted one another to live in peace.
"bismillah-rahmaane-raheem"(in the name of allah the garcious and the merciful).
If it true that these are aims and words of sheik Bin Laden; then the proof of his aspirations and competency/proficiency for any public office and promissed leadership reveals its-self.
"Point number one"; the time he was in the secret war against the former soviet union, was it not true that american support for isreal was in its highest.
Please, feuding aspirants ought to have the optimum respect for the dignity and progress of fellow muslims at all times.
Untill "feuding aspirants" become aware of the dangers of "religious-divide" shameless-mistrust, and miscalculated ideals; they will soon find themselves on the "radar" of islam.
Allah has done all the good works for religions the looming factor is the "forces-of-psycology"
To them we say; allah is sufficient enough for us.
We have done some mistakes in the past - whereby false aspirants kill highly compitent/scientific people for their own worng version of political democracy of envy and hate; but not any more.
Please leave islam alone all in power feuding mis-conduct.
