Bin Laden warns of new attacks
`Osama bin Laden said al Qaeda was preparing attacks in the United States but the group was open to a conditional truce with Americans, according to an audio tape attributed to him on Thursday.
It was the first purported bin Laden tape since 2004. Al Jazeera television, which aired the tape, said it was dated to the Muslim lunar month corresponding to January.
“The operations are under preparation and you will see them in your houses as soon as they are complete, God willing,” said the speaker on the tape.’
