Osama bin Laden, the main suspect in the US terror attacks on Sept. 11, has urged the Muslim and Arab states to give up their membership in the United Nations, “which established Israel” by Resolution 181 that partitioned Palestine in 1947.
He further said that “those who claim to be the rulers of the Muslim nations are no Muslims if they resort to ‘international legitimacy’” instead of Islamic law and the Holy Quran.
The statement was recorded on videotape and broadcast on Al Jazeera satellite channel on Saturday.
Bin laden added that the US, in its campaign against “terrorism,” was killing Afghan civilians based “on no solid evidence,” linking the country to what happened in the US.
The suspected terrorist did not directly deny his involvement in the terrorist attacks.
The US has discouraged its media from broadcasting statements by bin Laden or his Al Qaeda organization, fearing that the alleged terrorists might give coded signals to their followers to launch attacks on new targets. Several important media outlets have decide to accept such official "guidance."
The US is already on alert, bracing for more attacks and keeping a watchful eye on landmarks like San Francisco bridges, which have reportedly been threatened with a terrorist attack during rush hour – Albawaba.com
