Abdulmutallab: Bin Laden Claims Responsibility For Botched Attack

Source: Independent Newspaper Published:Monday, January 25th, 2010

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has claimed responsibility for the airline bombing attempt in Detroit on December 25 last year by Farouk Umar Adulmutallab.

Bin Laden vowed further attacks on the United States in an audio message released on Sunday.

The message suggests that he wants to show he remains in direct command of al-Qaida’s many branches around the world.

In the short recording carried by the Al-Jazeera Arabic news channel, bin Laden addressed U.S. President Barack Obama saying the attack was a message similar to that of September 11, 2001 and more attacks against the U.S. would be forthcoming.

“The message delivered to you through the plane of the heroic warrior, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was a confirmation of the previous messages sent by the heroes of the September 11,” he said.

“America will never dream of security unless we will have it in reality in Palestine. God willing, our raids on you will continue as long as your support for the Israelis continues.”

However, the U.S. government said it could not immediately authenticate the audio message.

But White House Adviser, David Axelrod, told CNN that whatever the source, it “contains the same hollow justification for the mass slaughter of innocents.”
