Al-Jazeera said earlier today, (Thursday,) that it had received a new audiotape purported to be from Osama bin Laden and has now broadcast portions of the audiotape, (but not in full as of yet,) saying al-Qaida is making preparations for attacks in the United States... Yet in the same message bin Laden offers a possible truce to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan...
Authenticity of audiotape as being the voice of bin Laden has not been verified as of yet.
Homeland Security still has Terror Threat Advisory set on ELEVATED- YELLOW- Significant Risk of Terrorist Attacks.
Al-Jazeera has reported that the audiotape was made in December. As one reporter on Fox News said... “Is that December 2005 or December 2004, which is the last time we heard from bin Laden?” Follow-up... It was made last December, 2005.
