Bin Laden Says Crusade Being Waged Against Islam

HeadlineApr 24, 2006

The White House believes a new audio message from Osama Bin Laden that aired on Al Jazeera is authentic. In the recording, Bin Laden accused western countries of carrying out a crusade against Islam in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Chechnya, Somalia, and Pakistan. He called on supporters to travel to the Darfur region of Sudan to fight peacekeepers who he accused of stealing the region’s oil. Bin Laden also criticized western nations for cutting off funds to the Hamas-led Palestinian government. Both the Palestinian and Sudanese governments distanced themselves from bin Laden’s comments.
