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."
Jeez... this bearded beady-eyed dude is truly irrational... if he believes that what goes around comes around, then he should set an example by surrendering.
Dear Terrorists:
Another attack? Bring it. We'll kill you all. If we have to, we'll turn the entire Islamic world into a glass parking lot. And even if you magically somehow do manage to kill all of us, you'll have to face nuclear-armed India, China, and Russia afterward, all of whom hate you already. News flash: the U.S. has scruples, but those three countries don't and would nuke you to atoms without even a second thought. In the long run, if you continue to practice terror, you're dead, your countries are dead, and your religion is dead. You think terror will get concessions out of us? Dead wrong. All it will earn you is vengeance on a scale that you can't even imagine. If you have even one brain cell, then use it and realize that terror is a losing proposition, and the biggest losers will be you and everything that you care about.
If you really are stupid enough, then attack us again. Dig your own grave and the graves of your nations and your countrymen and your religion. Hit us with suicide attacks and you'll get what the Japanese, the last set of suicide attackers got: nuked. You actually think we won't do that again if it's called for? Then you really don't know who you are messing with. Ask the Japanese who survived World War II what we can be like when we need to be.
You want change? Fine, then work for it peaceably. You want to die and have all the things that you value destroyed? Then keep practicing terror.

Bring it on.
The 2004 US election shows the power of core American morality as well in my mind. Morality + military power + God's blessing will prevail.
Bah! I blow my nose at your mother! I spit in your general direction!
I thought the video of OBL was the "go" signal. Now a new tape. Should we cower yet?
Arabs are all threats and no action (remember 'the mother of all wars'?). It's when they are not threatening you that you need to watch out.
"Yadda, yadda, yadda. Isn't this like the 50th time they've done this? They must REALLY mean it this time."
Maybe we should listen to them, cuz it sounds like they have a "plan".
Hmmmmm...they have a plan??...where have I heard that line before??....I think that same line "I have a plan", fooled over 50,000,000 million people recently.
Is the Al-Qaeda "plan" posted on their website, like the other guy that had a "plan" for EVERYTHING did??
I would prefer the potential of a strike by a whining coward terorist over the reality of DEMS being in charge of my country.....
These terrorsits have no idea how awful the DEMS are in reality so they think their threats are,,,I don't know,,,,,taken seriously?
I've already faced the fact we may have another strike on our soil....and the DEMS will blame Bush for it. This news is getting old.
Been there, done that. It was called the Clinton years.
I'll bet if we tracked this Al Qaeda website down, it would originate on an American college campus, maybe even this one... Cornell Reacts to Election Outcome (Ithaca's meltdown continues)
Hell with the MOAB - let's use nukes! Nothing would get their attention faster than a well-placed nuke.
PS -- where we will send you, the virgins shave their beards so they don't catch on fire

These people have serious issues with delusions of granduer and a vast gap in credibility. This is almost as bad as the Woody Allen voice over of the "American" who told us that are streets will run with blood.
Yet the MSM keeps on playing it, but I guess you have to sell those Levitra ads.
I am MORE HAPPY THAN EVER that BUSH is in the White House today.
Terrorists HATE BUSH.
They wouldn't have had a problem with kerry.
Spoken like a true grease spot. Watch very carefully, boys. Urge your women and children to leave Fallujah now while they have the opportunity. You are about to learn a very important lesson about pulling the tiger's tail.
Since bin Laden has seen fit to address the citizens of America directly, perhaps it is about time for the citizens of America to make threats in kind. Here's one...
At the supermarket this week I and two other men were discussing what we would do in case of a ditry bomb or massive attack. An elerly woman overheard us, and immediately shot back "we should blow up every mosque in America and ban Islam!!!" We were pretty stunned, and then another woman chimed in that her husband owned a large bulldozer and would level the local mosque. A word to Al Queda...if OLD LADIES and housewives in the U.S. are urging retaliation againt Muslim institutions, just imagine what blue collar Americans will DO if we are again attacked.
