Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden threatened new attacks on the United States, saying "the reasons to repeat what happened" on September 11, 2001 remain, in a video aired by Al-Jazeera TV Friday night. He accused US President George W. Bush of deceiving the American people.
In an address just days ahead of the US presidential election, bin Laden also said the US administration resembled "corrupt" Arab governments.
Bin Laden told the American people that their security is not in the hands of either George W. Bush or John Kerry, but depends on US policy.
