SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Osama bin Laden, Leader of Al Qaeda:
"This America, God struck it in its heart and destroyed its biggest buildings, so we have to thank God for that. America was filled with terror from the north to the south and from east to west. What America is living through today is nothing compared to what we have been living through for decades. Our nation has been living for more than 80 years with this kind of oppression. Its people are being killed and slaughtered and its religious symbols attacked but nobody listened or responded. But now God blessed a group of Muslims and opened His doors before them, so they were able to destroy America and I hope God will exalt them and welcome them in His heaven."
Repeat of set up shot
SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Osama bin Laden, Leader of Al Qaeda:
"After what has happened all the important American officials headed by the international atheist Bush, started turning even Muslim countries against us (referring to the international coalition) they started a war against Islam in the name of combatting terrorism."
