Bin Laden says new US attacks prepared
DUBAI (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden warned that al Qaeda was preparing new attacks inside the United States, but said the group was open to a conditional truce with Americans, according to an audio tape attributed to him on Thursday.
"The operations are under preparation and you will see them in your houses as soon as they are complete, God willing," said the speaker on the audio tape, who sounded like bin Laden.
In the tape, broadcast by al Jazeera television, bin Laden said al Qaeda was willing to respond to public U.S. opinion in favour of withdrawing troops from Iraq.
"We have no objection to responding to this with a long term truce based on fair conditions."
It was not immediately known when the tape was recorded.
A U.S. counterterrorism official said U.S. intelligence was assessing the tape in an effort to determine its authenticity.
Bin Laden issued an audio tape in April 2004 in which he also offered a truce -- on that occasion to Europe, but not to the United States.
Analysts saw the move at the time as an attempt to drive a wedge between the United States and its allies and to scare wavering coalition members out of Iraq.
Bin Laden's last audio tape was in December 2004. The interval between then and now was by far his longest public silence since the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001.

The News Channel also said they didn't know how OLD the tape was and if the man IS actually dead or not.
In all honesty, what was said on the tape I agree with when it said the reason they have not so far attacked was because of our tight security measures.....rather they needed time to PREPARE for the attack. That made sense since they don't care if they are caught or die when performing an attack as suicide bombers confirm and the fact that everyone knows they COULD have raised at lot more shit since 9-11 if they WANTED to.

Hmph. He's probably preparing a new reality show to sell to the FOX network that is guaranteed to lower the American intellect enough so that Al Qaeda can enter the U.S. at will, buy up all the gas stations, make millions, bankrupt the country, and then go home with everyone still glued to the TV set waiting to see who gets voted off the Pakistani mountaintop next.
F*** off, Bin Laden.
