Bin Laden Releases New Video

HeadlineSep 10, 2007

Osama bin Laden has released a new video statement for the first time in three years. On the tape, bin Laden urges all Americans to convert to Islam and says the U.S. is still vulnerable to attack.

Osama bin Laden: “People of America: I shall be speaking to you on important topics which concern you, so lend me your ears. Despite America being the greatest economic power and possessing the most powerful and up-to-date military arsenal, as well, and despite its spending on this war and its army, more than the entire world spends on its armies, and being the major state influencing the policies of the world, as if it has a monopoly on the unjust right of veto, despite all of this, 19 young men were able, by the grace of Allah, the Most High, to change the direction of its compass.”
