Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has said in a new audio message posted on extremist Web sites after the completion of five years of Iraq war on Thursday slamming the publication of drawings insulting to the Holy Prophet Muhammad and vowed a strong reaction.
Bin Laden went on describing the cartoons as taking place in the framework of a new Crusade against Islam, in which the Pope has played a large and lengthy role and warned the Europeans that a reaction would come.
