ABOUT THE PAPER
Al-Nasiriya was a paper edited by the Iraqi regime in Baghdad. This issue was delivered on July 21, 2001.
EXCERPT :
[From Al-Nasiriya, July 21, 2001] America, an Obsession Called Osama Bin Ladin (By Naeem Abd Muhalhal) Osama Bin Ladin says that he took from the desert its silence and its anger at the same time. He has learned how to harm America and has been able to do it, for he gave a bad reputation to the Pentagon as being weakened in more than one spot in the world. In order to follow one step taken by Bin Ladin America has put to work all its apparatus, its computers and its satellites just as the governor cowboy of Texas has done. Bin Ladin’s name has been posted on all the internet sites and an amount of $5 million dollars has been awarded to anyone who could give any information that would lead to the arrest of this lanky, lightly bearded man.
In this man’s heart you’ll find an insistence, a strange determination that he will reach one day the tunnels of the White House and will bomb it with everything that is in it. (...) Bin Laden still thinks seriously, with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House . . .
The phenomenon of Bin Ladin is a healthy phenomenon in the Arab spirit. It is a decision and a determination that the stolen Arab self has come to realize after it got bored with promises of its rulers: After it disgusted itself from their abomination and their corruption, the man had to carry the book of God and the Kalashnikov and write on some off white paper ``If you are unable to drive off the Marines from the Kaaba, I will do so.’’ It seems that they will be going away because the revolutionary Bin Ladin is insisting very convincingly that he will strike America on the arm that is already hurting. That the man will not be swayed by the plant leaves of Whitman nor by the ``Adventures of Indiana Jones’’ and will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs.”
COMMENTS BY US OFFICIALS :
Remarks by Senator Hollings (D-South Carolina) in Congress :
“Here is a news story from July 21, 2001, before 9/11 of last year, in the Iraqi news. The name of that particular newspaper is Al-Nasiriya. It refers to an exercise called ``How Do You Bomb the White House.’’ They were planning it. [the author of the Iraqi article writes that Bin Laden] . In other words, the World Trade Towers. Here, over a year ahead of time in the open press in Iraq, they are writing that this man is planning not only to bomb the White House, but where they are already hurting, the World Trade Towers.” HOMELAND SECURITY ACT, US CONGRESS, 2002
