Bin Laden threatens new attacks

Bin Laden likened the US to 'corrupt' Arab governments
Arabic TV station al-Jazeera has broadcast a videotape featuring Osama Bin Laden, in which he threatens new attacks on the US.
The al-Qaeda leader accused President George W Bush of deceiving the American people in the years since the 11 September 2001 attacks.

He compared the Bush administration to what he termed corrupt Arab regimes.

The development comes as US voters prepare to go to the polls on Tuesday in the presidential election.


What is al-Qaeda?

Bin Laden said he first thought of attacking the US after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.

He said the attacks on the US would have been less severe if President Bush had been more alert.
