Bin Laden Tape Threatens Attacks in Europe

A recent audiotape featuring what is believed to be the voice of Osama bin Laden openly threatens Europe with the possibility of severe attacks in response to the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

Those cartoons, originally published in Denmark in 2006, depicted the Prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban and in the minds of Muslims insulted the religion of Islam. Last month one of the cartoons was republished as an advocacy for freedom of speech following threats against the Danish artist.

In the recent audiotape bin Laden issues a severe warning declaring, “The response will be what you see and not what you hear and let our mothers bereave us if we do not make victorious our messenger of God.”

Bin Laden took exception to the republication of the cartoons saying, “You went overboard in your unbelief and freed yourselves of the etiquettes of dispute and fighting and went to the extent of publishing these insulting drawings.”

The al-Qaeda leader went on to say “This is the greater and more serious tragedy, and reckoning for it will be more severe.”
