Bin Laden claims plane bombing bid



Osama Bin Laden has claimed responsibility for the failed attack on a US airliner on December 25 in a new audio tape. In the tape obtained by Al Jazeera, the world's most wanted man warns Barack Obama, the US president, that there will be more attacks unless he finds a solution to the Palestinian crisis. The audio tape is believed to have been recorded last month. "The message I want to convey to you through the plane of the hero Omar Farouk [Abdulmutallab], reaffirms a previous message that the heroes of 9/11 conveyed to you." "America will never dream of living in peace unless we live it in Palestine. It is unfair that you enjoy a safe life while our brothers in Gaza suffer greatly. "Therefore, with God's will, our attacks on you will continue as long as you continue to support Israel," bin Laden said. Abdulmutallab, who is now in US police custody, allegedly attempted to ignite explosives sewn into his underpants as Northwest Airlines Flight 253 made its final descent to Detroit on Christmas Day. Obama has criticised his own intelligence agencies for failing to piece together information about the suspect which should have stopped him boarding the flight.
