OSAMA bin Laden plans a TV suicide that will trigger attacks on landmarks in London, Paris and the US.
His estranged wife Sabiha said last night he would order his elder sons to shoot him rather than be captured.
Sabiha, 45, added: "That will be the signal for a new wave of terror. The targets this time would be the Capitol building in Washington, Big Ben in London and the Eiffel Tower in Paris."
Her claims were broadcast on Russian television as al-Qaeda boss bin Laden reportedly led 1,000 loyalists into forests in Afghanistan after being flushed out of his Tora Bora caves.
New evidence has also emerged of his role in the September 11 atrocities in America.
In a 40-minute video tape obtained by the Pentagon, he described the damage around the twin towers as "greater than expected" and praised Allah for the success of the attacks.
Bin Laden, 44, whose Saudi family run a multi-billion dollar construction business, is said to have 15 children by three or four wives.
Estranged wife Sabiha, who abandoned him after he took another wife aged 17, revealed the "suicide" plan on Russian TV channel, TV6.
Sabiha said he wanted his death and ultimate martyrdom filmed by the al-Jazeera TV network, based in Gulf state Qatar.
It has broadcast several of bin Laden's rants against the West since September 11.
Yesterday bin Laden's mother Alia spoke for the first time about him, saying she was not angry with him - just disappointed by his ideas and actions.
"Like all mothers, I am satisfied and pleased with my son and pray to God to guide him and save him," she told a Saudi newspaper. The family disowned him in 1994.
The fresh tape evidence of bin Laden's involvement in the twin towers horror is said to have been found in a private home in Jalalabad.
US Vice President Dick Cheney said: "He does, in fact, display significant knowledge of what happened and there's no doubt about his responsibility."
On the tape, bin Laden said he was at a dinner when he was told the first plane had crashed into the Trade Center.
He shared the information with other guests and some expressed surprise. He told them to stick around and then the second plane hit and they cheered.
The tape also shows that bin Laden was amused some of the hijackers were unaware it was a suicide mission.
A US official said: "He is amused by the fact that some of these people who were martyred, they thought they were just taking part in a hijacking.''
A second, hour-long tape, obtained by the Mirror in Kabul, shows bin Laden's hatred of America. It opens with newsreel footage of Bill Clinton and George Bush on "Muslim soil".
Jabbing his finger, bin Laden urges his al-Qaeda fighters: "Our priority... is to rise up against America."
Osama's estranged wife, Sabiha "Ouija Board" bin Laden(pictured above)says:
Yea! He's going to commit suicide! Yea! With his girlfriend, Morgan Fairchild! Yea! That's the ticket!"
In a related story, there have been rumors that Sabiha is the webmaster for the Internet site DEBKA.
Will bib Laden still be amused when he finds out that Atta brought him along for the ride too ? (Metaphorically speaking)
Maybe muslin and terrorism is an easier path than buying Christmans gifts for 4 wives.
Goody! I hope that includes CNN and HBO.
Let's consider this very carefully. A foreign millionaire fanatic, schizoid-psycho-sociopath is holed up in a cave in the mountains threatening to rain mass destruction on the civilized Western world. That's a script of a James Bond film, only with the role of Dr. No and Blofeld played by Osama.
The only possible end result of such a course of action is what is now well in progress - the complete liquidation of the al-Qaida personnel across the globe. The "evil" of this is how many lives continue to be destroyed by this, including the illiterate and unfortunate Muslims lured into such madness and their Taliban leaders.Especially this moron-barbarian Mullah Omar. Technically, these are subliterate idiots who had no idea what the U.S. military could do when provoked. So now they are running away. Some martyrdom. They have destroyed their own lives and those of the innocent civilians in their proximity. For what? Fifteen minutes of ill-conceived glory in the media presentation of Islamic-Western jihad.
I heard someone describe Afghanistan as Mad Max meets Genghis Khan. He got that one right. Osama, Mullah Omar, and their Taliban and al-Qaida satraps win this year's Darwin Awards.
He was also known at one time as Jerry bin Seinfeld.
Remember when he was boffing that 17-y.o.?
I don't give a clinton what they feel, but I am enjoying it.
First of all, it means that there are NOT dozens of jihadis willing to die such gruesome deaths for bin laden.
Secondly, I smile at the thought of most of the hijackers likely feeling the same sheer terror and fear as the innocent passengers did when they realized that they were about to smash, head-on, into a *really* big building. I like to imagine them crying and soiling their pants as they realize it. I also like to imagine their families as traumatized and devastated as the 3000+ here in the U.S., and not celebrating them as martyrs.
And, lastly, I hope that this will make some other wannabe jihadis think twice about being duped and mocked like that.
Sorta like when a democrat wakes up one day and realizes they've been used and abused by the Magnificent Clintons.
Osama bin Flintstone is a RAT. Call this Sewercide! ;-)
But for those who knew, I submit:
A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue. A viler evil than to throw a man into a sacrificial furnace, is to demand that he leap in, of his own will, and that he build the furnace, besides.
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
I could also see Osama hosting that old talk-show SNL skit: "I just want to be loved, is that so wrooooonng?!" The possibilities are nearly endless.
LOL! Talk about unTrue and imBalanced reporting. . .
Hope not. I'd hate to have to miss Wrestlemania to see this guy's head get blown off. But it'd be worth the $39.95...
There are many other interesting channels there also like Iraqi TV. Might as well start watching that one.
