   Osama Warns US of New Attacks, Offers Truce

 

Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden has warned the United States of new attacks that his organization has planned. In a recording sent to West Asian news broadcast channel Al-Jazeera, he said that the attacks were not delayed by security arrangements. However, he also offered a "long-term truce" to the US and promised to keep his word saying that Islam does not accommodate liars and those who break promises. The US was quick to reject the "truce" saying that they do not negotiate with terrorists and will work hard to "put them out of business." They said they are also analyzing the authenticity of the tape. Meanwhile, there is widespread speculation in the Western and South Asian media on the effects of the weekend bombing by a CIA drone. Pakistan Information & Broadcasting Minister Sheik Rashid Ahmed said that some foreigners were present in the house that was bombed and said that they were killed in the bombing. While reports say that Taliban and al Qaeda elements removed the bodies and took them to an undisclosed location in the hills, several believe that second-in-command Ayman al Zawahiri was one of those killed. Intelligence officials believe that one of Osama's sons-in-law and the al Qaeda's chemical and explosives expert Midhat Mursi al Sayid carrying a bounty of USD 5 million were also killed.
