Osama bin Laden Denies Being Behind Attacks

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect behind last week's airborne strikes on the United States, issued a statement Sunday denying that he involved.

I stress that I have not carried out this act, which appears to have been carried out by individuals with their own motivation,'' said the statement, broadcast by Qatar's Al-Jazeera satellite channel.

In the statement, read out by an Al-Jazeera announcer, bin Laden said that he was used to the United States accusing him every time its many enemies strike at it.''

Bin Laden, a Saudi exile who has lived in Afghanistan since 1996, has said on at least one other occasion that he wasn't behind the attacks. Jamal Ismail, a Palestinian journalist, has said a bin Laden aide called him after Tuesday's attack to say bin Laden denied being involved but thanked almighty Allah and bowed before him when he heard this news.''

1. Tonight on CTV News (Canada)
Lisa LaFlamme's report from Baghdad had a surprising tidbit tonight. She says there is no proof of an Al Quaida connection to any of the Iraq insurgency. Basically claims that Iraq is merely a target for anyone with a grudge against America.

To see the video click on Lisa's report under Related Video here:
