Washington, March 20 (DPA) Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden threatened Europe over the publication of cartoons depicting Prophet Mohammed, in comments made in an internet video released to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the US-led war in Iraq.
Addressing the "intelligent ones in the European Union," bin Laden said the drawings first published in a Danish newspaper were even more offensive than war-related killings, according to a transcript of his remarks released by the IntelCenter, a private firm outside Washington that monitors terrorist activities on the web.
"Although our tragedy in your killing of our women and children is a very great one, it paled when you went overboard in your unbelief and freed yourselves of the etiquettes of dispute and fighting and went to the extent of publishing these insulting drawings," he said. "This is the greater and more serious tragedy, and reckoning for it will be more severe."
