Bin Laden describes Obama as 'powerless'

Monday, 14 September 2009

Al Qa'ida has released a new audio tape of Osama bin Laden giving an address to the United States.

Bin Laden uses the 11-minute tape to argue against President Barack Obama's claims that the war in Afghanistan is necessary for US security.

He says the new president is simply following the Bush strategy of promoting "policies of fear to market the interests of big companies".

He says Mr Obama is "a powerless man who will not be able to end the war as he promised".

Bin Laden has previously issued messages to the US around the anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
