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.''
