In a statement broadcast on Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television, a spokesman for Usama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda movement vowed to continue its war of terror on America until it halts the attacks on Afghanistan and withdraws from all Muslim lands.

The spokesman said the group would bring the war to the "heart of America," and called on Muslims around the world to join in its "crusade" against U.S. interests everywhere, according to a translation of the report provided by the Reuters news service.

CAIRO, Egypt –– Osama bin Laden's spokesman on Tuesday called for a holy war against U.S. interests everywhere and praised the hijackers who flew planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon for their "good deed."

"America must know that the storm of airplanes will not stop and there are thousands of young people who look forward to death like the Americans look forward to life," said Sulaiman Abu Ghaith said.

Just keep replaying this over and over in American homes.

This diaper-head said it was a "good deed" for the skyjackers to kill 6,000 innocent children, men, and women.

The more these jerks show up on television, the easier it gets to eradicate their pestilence from civlization.

They are doing our psychs-ops for us, and they don't even know it! Some smart guys, huh?

One New York firefighter is worth 1,000 Al-Qaeda cowards.

Let's roll!

Yeah, I saw that babbling monkey. No, that's not a racist statement, just look at the video. The beard and the rapid way he spoke made him look just like a hyper, screeching monkey. Wanted to toss the guy a peanut.

How many JIHAD's can they call against us?

I am really scared now, what's next is the Taliban going to put us on "double secret probation"?

Thanks...I'm finding more time these days

DUBAI, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda group said on Tuesday that hijacked plane attacks on the United States would continue and that the "battle" would not end until America withdraws from Muslim lands.

Al-Qaeda spokesman Sulaiman Bu Ghaith said in a message carried on Qatar's al-Jazeera Television that the militant group believed in "terrorism against oppressors".

"Americans should know...The storm of the (hijacked) planes will not stop," he said, referring to the suicide plane attacks on New York and Washington last month.

The station did not explain the origin of the statement but it appeared to be a video recording. Sulaiman Bu Ghaith had appeared with bin Laden on a recorded statement issued via Jazeera last Sunday.

"Let them know that by invading the land of Afghanistan, they opened a new page of enmity and conflict between us and the infidel forces," he added.

He also referred to U.S.-led air strikes on Afghanistan in the hunt for bin Laden as a "crusade".

I have a feeling that this war on terrorism will soon escalate into a war on Islam. This will happen because the vast uneducated peasants of Islam will be the ones to escalate it.

As far as I am concerned, it is just as well. The overwhelmingly superior Western world will be a much better place once we finish what Pope Urban II started in 1095 with the first Crusade. Political Correctness be damned!

I disagree with your conversion factor. A NYFD fireman's toenail clipping is worth more.

Bite me, Osama.

Christians = life, Muslims = Death.

Thanks, Lord of the Flies. You've told me all I need to know.

I was so relieved to hear this al key duh terrorist assert their prideful hate of America. I was afraid they were going to surrender. Thank God there will be no quarter asked and none given.

I saw crapfaced kofi trying to get the media to note his "concern" over the spread of hostilities to other countries. I actually wondered if the four UN workers were working WITH the talibunnies and ill queso towel heads and if that might not be why they were "accidentally" killed.

Don't the arab talliwhackjobs use UN uniforms to attack Israelis in the West Bank? I often wonder if the UN is not only corrupt, but actually a "cover op" for terrorists worldwide.

Iraq and Afghanistan are NOT enough... we need our own US territory over there... with oil, refineries and air bases of biblical proportions... and definitely a warm water port... Sudan would do nicely... as would several others... could we fit sixty stars on old glory?
