Dubai, Oct. 27: The Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden, in a new audio tape, has warned France that five of its abducted citizens in Niger could be killed if it did not withdraw troops from Afghanistan and stop-ped a law on the burqa. In a tape broadcast by the Al-Jazeera network on Wednesday, a man purporting to be Osama, called on the people of France to stop “interven[ing] in the affairs of Muslims in North and West Africa”. “The only way to safeguard your nation and maintain your security is to withdraw your forces from (George W.) Bush’s despicable war,” he said in an apparent reference to Afghanistan. “If you unjustly thought that it is your right to prevent free Muslim women from wearing the face veil, is it not our right to expel your invading men and cut their necks,” he asked. “To the French people, I say that the formula is simple and clear: As you kill, you will be killed; as you imprison us, you will be imprisoned; as you threaten our security, we will threaten yours, and the one who started the oppression is to be blamed,” he says.
