bin Laden threatens Catholics

Bin Laden Accuses Pope of Anti-Islam Crusade -Paul Schemm

Osama bin Laden accused Pope Benedict XVI of helping in a "new Crusade" against Islam and warned of a "severe" reaction to European publications of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that insulted many Muslims. Bin Laden's audiotape said the cartoons "came in the framework of a new Crusade in which the pope of the Vatican has played a large, lengthy role."

The Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi, said bin Laden's accusation is "baseless."

All of Bin Laden's attacks have taught us that everyone is his enemy. He fights for no real freedom, except perhaps, from the maniacal tyranny of his own twisted and paranoid mind.
