Bin Laden warns of more attack!
against U.S. on new audiotape
— . if-..
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — The Arab satellite
station ai-Jazeera broadcast an audiotape
Sunday in which a male voice attributed to
Osama bin Laden said the “youths of God” are
planning more attacks against the United States.
“By God, the youths of God are preparing for
you things that would fill your hearts with terror
and target your economic lifeline until you stop
your oppression and aggression” against
Muslims, said the voice in the audiotape.
It wasn't immediately clear when the tape
was made. The short message was broadcast
with a picture of bin Laden in the background.
Bin Laden said his message was addressed to
the American people, whom he urged to “under
stand the message of the New York and
Washington attacks which came in response to
some of your previous crimes.”
"But those who follow the activities of the
band of criminals in the White House, the
Jewish agents, who are preparing for an attack
on the Muslim world ... feel that you have not
understood anything from the message of the
two attacks,” he said.
Qatar-based al-Jazeera has become known
for its broadcast of audio and videotapes of al-
Qaida leaders.
Last month, it aired excerpts from a vifel
tape in which a voice said to be bin Laden’s
19 Sept.
the leaders of the
heard naming
hijackers.
Until then, bin Laden had not been hei
from since shortly after the U.S.-led bomQ
campaign began in Afghanistan last October
An interview al-Jazeera said one ol itsc I
spondents conducted in June with two tt
Qaida fugitives was aired to correspond wi
first anniversary of the Sept. 1 1 attacks. Shon
afterward, U.S. officials announced one of(
fugitives had been captured in Pakistan.
American officials have called the netwot
biased in its coverage of the war on terrorist
the Israeli-Arab conflict and U.S. Mideastp
cy. Al-Jazeera journalists say they strive tott;
all sides of events from the Arab and Mush
point of view, and they have angered Arabj
ernments as often as they have Washington.
The satellite station, initially funded bya
Qatari government, began operations i
November 1996. It is editorially independent?
the government, which has* its own officials!}
tion to broadcast its point of view.
Oil leak sets French tanker on fire!
owners say event was 'deliberate
SAN\A, Yemen (AP) — An
explosion and fire engulfed a
French oil tanker on Sunday off
the coast of Yemen, and the
tanker owner said a small boat
struck the vessel in a “deliberate
attack.”
Yemeni officials, however,
said there was no indication the
tanker was attacked and that the
fire was caused by an oil leak.
French officials said it was still
too early to say if the explosion
was an act of terrorism.
“We don’t have enough ele
ments to allow us to formulate a
... hypothesis which would point
to a terrorist attack,” French
Foreign Ministry spokesman
Francois Rivasseau said Sunday
night in Paris.
France will quickly send
investigators to Yemen,
President Jacques Chirac’s office
said after Chirac spoke by phone
with Yemeni President Ali
Abdullah Saleh. Yemen’s prime
minister, Abdul-Kader
Bajammal, formed a special
committee to investigate.
Yemeni officials said a leak
caused the fire on the vessel,
named the Limburg, about three
miles off the port of Mina al-
Dabah.
The Limburg’s captain*
Hubert Ardillon, said the fire set
off an explosion while crewmen
tried to get the blaze under con
trol, an unidentified Yemeni offi
cial told the state-run SABA
news agency. He said efforts
were being made to contain oil
leakage from the ship.
But Jacques Moizan, director
of Euronav, which owns the
tanker said the explosion was a
“deliberate act.” He said a
smaller ship struck the starboard
side of the Limburg.
Euronav’s financial and
administrative director, Alain
Ferre, said a crewmember saw a
fishing boat pull up toward the
tanker before the blast at 9:15
a.m. Ferre speculated it could
not have caused such a huge
blast unless it was carrying
explosives.
Moizan said it was not sure
that the smaller vessel was a
fishing boat. “I cannot provide
details about the description of
the small boat that hit the star
board,” Moizan told The
Associated Press, adding, “We
believe it was a deliberate act. It
was not an accident.”
There were also reports that
the explosion occurred as a pilot
boat was readying to escort the
tanker into Mina al-Dabah.
In October 2000, suicide
attackers on a small explosive
laden vessel struck the USS Cole
during a refueling stop at Aden
port. The blast killed 17 U.S.
sailors and was blamed on al-
Qaida.
Security has since been tight-

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A former county
