A GROUP linked to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network threatened the United States with reprisals after the re-election of President George W. Bush, warning of "unbearable hell," in a website statement today.
"The coming days will show you that the one you preferred will lead you to an unbearable hell," said the group calling itself the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades after the Al-Qaeda military chief killed in Afghanistan in October 2001.
It was not possible to immediately verify the statement. The same group claimed responsibility for the train bombings in Madrid in March this year that killed 191 people in Spain's worst attack and injured another 1,900.
"Although the criminal Bush has spilt blood of Muslims during the last four years and despite the butcheries that he committed and continues to perpetrate in Afghanistan, in Palestine and in Iraq, we see that... the applause of his people is increasing," it said.
"This shows the nature of the American people who approved the war against Islam led by criminal America," it added.
The statement comes after a message from Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden -- broadcast just days ahead of the US election -- warned the United States of new attacks similar to those of September 11, 2001.
Bush beat his rival Democrat John Kerry to win a second term in office in Tuesday's vote.
"The re-election of the criminal Bush, who is no different from the other leaders of this country who have devoted their efforts to killing Muslims everywhere in the world, will not dissuade the mujahedeen from striking the head of the line of infidelity," it said.
"Bush and Kerry are two sides of the same coin. Both have a dark history that will never be erased. It is the American people who will take the consequences of the politics of its president over the next four years.
"The next days will show that your support of the criminal will not bring you security and will not prevent the muhajedeen from hurting you where you are. The next days will prove this."
But, I thought that Al Qaeda wanted Bush in office. That's what I've been told by the media. This must be some kind of a trick.
Or they haven't kept up with the news. Kerry lost. Unbearable Hell averted...
My thoughts exactly. It definitely looks like an admission of weakness.
They learned that from Saddam, interestingly enough. He's done the same thing.

And if Rumsfield retires - I nominate you as Sec of DOD

How about a pig strapped on a MOAB?
Unbearable Hell???....you puke piles have no clue....The unbearable hell will be brought to you......This last election must have really pissed you boys off!!!...You S.O.B's actually think you can influence an AMERICAN election??....Get over yourselves!
Worse than that ... Yoko Ono.
I wonder when they finally get tired of making threats they can't back up? Thanks to Bush's taking the war to them the best they can do is make a lot of idle threats. One of these days they are going to figure out we mean business.

Only a few days ago we were told that only the 'red states' had to worry for voting for Bush - and now this where they threaten everyone.
Gee, I guess you just can't trust an Islamic Terrorist to keep his word. Who'd a thunk it?!?
/sarcasm
And a few Texans [and others] who are ready to turn the heads of islamics into canoes if they try anything.
Yes, and that is why we are going to kill them all!
What, they're gonna make us move to San Francisco?
