Addressing his message to “the people of America,” bin Laden predicted failure for U.S. forces in Iraq and warned against what he described as the continued oppression and humiliation of Muslims by the West.
“The blood of the Muslims will not be spilled with impunity,” he said.
The tape was undergoing technical evaluation by U.S. intelligence analysts, but an initial review indicated it was authentic. “The analysis suggests that the voice on the tape is indeed that of Osama bin Laden,” said a U.S. intelligence official, speaking on the condition that he not be identified by name.
