Purported bin Laden tape slams U.S. role in Pakistan
Zeroing in on the conflict in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, where Pakistan’s troops are taking on Taliban militants, the message asserts that President Obama is proving that he is “walking the same road of his predecessors to build enmity against Muslims and increasing the number of fighters, and establishing more lasting wars.”
Al-Jazeera, the Arabic-language TV network that aired the message, said the statement was “a voice recording by bin Laden,” and a CNN analysis said the voice does indeed sound like the leader of the terrorist network that attacked the United States on September 11, 2001. (CNN)
