Mr. Bin Laden sure seems to be keeping up on current events from his spider hole:
A new audiotape purportedly from Osama bin Laden was put on the internet yesterday, praising gunmen who attacked a US consulate in Saudi Arabia last week and blaming the royal family for unrest in the kingdom.
. . .
The hour-long speech surfaced on a website known as a clearing house for militant Islamist opinion, and extracts were later broadcast by the Qatar-based satellite channel al-Jazeera.
Next thing you know, he’ll be cranking up a bin Laden blog.
Funny, the reporting I’ve heard regarding the tape doesn’t mention bin Laden’s deep-seated hatred of American “freedoms.” But we all know that’s the motive behind his every move.
Anyway, I don’t know what kind of security they have surrounding Saudi oil facilities, but I think their guards should put in a little overtime over the next few months.
