Bin Laden warns of 'unbearable hell'
12 April 2012
Osama bin Laden warns that America and the West are heading for "an unbearable hell and a choking life" in the terrorist leader's only known interview since 11 September.
The interview was conducted by Arab TV station Al-Jazeera on 21 October but not aired. A copy of the tape was obtained by CNN and released last night. Bin Laden uses it to make more threats against the US.
Asked if al Qaeda was behind the anthrax attacks, he replies: "These diseases are a punishment from God and a response to oppressed mothers' prayers in Lebanon and Palestine."
