14th September 2009 - Osama bin Laden calls Barack Obama 'powerless' (D Tel)


Following the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, a voice, purporting to be that of Osama bin Laden, has told the American people that Al Qaeda's quarrel is not with them but with the "pro-Israeli lobby" and "corporate interests" in the United States. "The time has come for you to liberate yourselves from fear and the ideological terrorism of neo-conservatives and the Israeli lobby.. The reason for our dispute with you is your support for your ally Israel, occupying our land in Palestine."


Al Jazeera broadcast the audiotape shortly after President Obama's arrvial in Saudi Arabia.
