“The American people, my message to you is about the best way to avoid a new Manhattan, about the war, its reasons and results. We fought you because we are free people who want to regain the freedom of our nation. The way you waste our security, we waste your security.”

“We did not find it difficult to deal with Bush and his Administration because it is similar to regimes in our countries in that half of them are ruled by the military and the other half are ruled by the sons of kings and presidents . . . Bin Laden said that when the senior Bush visited the Middle East, he was impressed by their regimes. He envied them for staying in power for decades and embezzling the nation’s wealth. So he transferred tyranny and oppression to his son and they named it ‘homeland security law’ under the pretext of fighting terrorism.”

“In spite of our being in the fourth year after the incidents of the 11th (of September), Bush is still misleading you by hiding the real reason from you . . . I tell you, God knows, that we never had an idea to strike the towers but we were fed up and after we saw the injustice of the American-Israeli alliance against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, this came to our mind.”

“While I was looking at the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it came to my mind to punish those unjust people in the same way, to destroy the tower in America to make them feel what we had felt, and to deter them from killing our children and women.”

“Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands; every state that does not mess with our security will have security.”
