Bin Laden Plans To Expand Terror War To Israel

December 30, 2007

Osama bin Laden warned Iraqs Sunni Arabs against fighting al-Qaida and vowed to expand the terror groups holy war to Israel in a new audiotape Saturday, threatening “blood for blood, destruction for destruction.”

Most of the 56-minute tape dealt with Iraq, apparently al-Qaidas latest attempt to keep supporters in Iraq unified at a time when the U.S. military claims to have al-Qaidas Iraq branch on the run.

The tape did not mention Pakistan or the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, though Pakistans government has blamed al-Qaida and the Taliban for her death on Thursday. That suggested the tape was made before the assassination.

Bin Ladens comments offered an unusually direct attack on Israel, stepping up al-Qaidas attempts to use the Israeli-Arab conflict to rally supporters.
