Report: In Final Tape, Bin Laden Warned U.S. About Security of Palestine

By Haaretz Service May 8, 2011

An Islamist website said that Osama bin Laden warned the United States they would not be secure until Palestine is secure, AFP news agency reported on Sunday.

According to the news agency, the al-Qaida website Shamikh1.net quotes bin Laden as saying “America will not be able to dream of security until we live in security in Palestine. It is unfair that you live in peace while our brothers in Gaza live in insecurity.”

The quote is apparently taken from bin Laden’s last audio tape that he recorded before being killed by American troops.
