More Change You Can Believe In

al-Qaeda's hopes are up

It is tomorrow in Australia, and theage.com.au has published this warning of new bin Laden attack:

Osama bin Laden is planning an attack against the United States that will 'outdo by far' September 11, an Arab newspaper in London has reported.

And according to a former senior Yemeni al-Qaeda operative, the terrorist organisation has entered a 'positive phase', reinforcing specific training camps around the world that will lead the next 'wave of action' against the West.

The warning, on the front page of an Arabic newspaper published in London, Al-Quds Al-Arabi - and widely reported in the major Italian papers — quotes a person described as being 'very close to al-Qaeda' in Yemen.

The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan, who is said to be the last journalist to interview Osama bin Laden in 1996. According to the report, bin Laden is himself closely following preparations for an attack against the US and aims to 'change the face of world politics and economics'.

We can only guess why America's most deadly enemy would announce that his underground Mohammedan Jihad terrorist outfit has now "entered a positive phase" that will facilitate new and more horrific attacks on the US and its allies in the War on Terror. You don't suppose Osama bin-Laden's new war cry is Change You Can Believe In? The old feeder wonders if Hope will be enough for us.
