Osama warns Europe of 'retaliation'

Sep 25 2009

Osama bin Laden has warned that al-Qaida could retaliate against Europe for its alliance with the US over the war in Afghanistan.

In a new audiotape posted on Islamic websites, he said Europe should pull out of the coalition with the US, warning that it shares blame for Nato air strikes in Afghanistan which have killed civilians.

Addressing Europeans, he asks: "How do you think you will fare after America pulls out - Allah permitting - for us to retaliate from the oppressor on behalf of the oppressed?"
