We ask God to receive them as martyrs and may they become like the prophets, the believers and good people who were chosen to become God's companions and may God grant their relatives patience and solace and bless their sons with good fortune and reward them greatly for their faith in Islam.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd for those martyrs who left behind children - those children will be mine and I will be their guardian with the blessing of God.\u003cbr/\u003eIt is not surprising for the Islamic nation to rise up in Pakistan in defence of Islam. Pakistan is considered to be the first line of the defence of Islam in the region as was the case with Afghanistan in defending itself and Pakistan against the Russian invasion more than 20 years ago.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd we would hope that these brothers (those killed in Karachi) will be among the first martyrs in the battle of Islam in this era against the new Jewish crusader campaign that is led by the chief crusader Bush under the banner of the cross. \u003cbr/\u003eThis battle is considered one of the glorious Islamic battles.\u003cbr/\u003eWe incite our Muslim brothers in Pakistan to strive with all they posess and all they are able to against the American crusading forces to prevent them invading Pakistan and Afghanistan. The prophet - peace be upon him - said \"Let him who does not invade or provide an invader or look after the family of an invader - God will curse him before Judgement Day\" - this was witnessed by Abu Daoud (follower of the Prophet).\u003cbr/\u003eI promise you, beloved brothers, you are firm on the path of jihad for the sake of God following the example of the Prophet - peace be upon Him - in supporting the brave believers of the Afghani people under the leadership of our fighter who holds his religion sacred: Commander of the Faithful the Mullah Mohammed Omar. \u003cbr/\u003eWe ask God to grant him victory against the power and aggression of the infidels and to crush the new Jewish crusader campaign on the land of Pakistan and Afghanistan.\u003cbr/\u003e(Koranic verse meaning if God makes you victorious then none shall defeat you and if God abandons you then who will make you victorious other than Him? Therefore may Believers rely on God)\u003cbr/\u003eYour brother in Islam\u003cbr/\u003eOsama bin Muhammed bin Laden\" (END OF TRANSLATION)\u003cbr/\u003e14 Oct 2002 Fax\u003cbr/\u003eWide shot showing all six pages of fax\u003cbr/\u003ePan across text - highlighted in yellow - stating as follows: \"We congratulate the Islamic community for the heroic operations which our holy warriors carried out in Yemen against the oil tanker and in Kuwait against the American forces. By blowing up this tanker in Yemen, they cut the pipeline that supplies oil to the crusaders of the West, in order to remind the enemy of the heavy price they will pay in blood if they continue their crusade against our community and steal our resources. The heroic operation in Kuwait also showed the danger that American forces will face wherever they are based in Islamic countries.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSignature (highlighted in yellow) at end of document, purporting to be that of Bin Laden\u003cbr/\u003ePan from previously-published signature (in green) across to signature (yellow) in this document\u003cbr/\u003eGeorge W.

There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said: 'Wanted - Dead or Alive'. \u003cbr/\u003e(Question: Do you see an end at all?)\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think that this is a long term battle - war. There'll be battles, but this is long term. After all, our mission is not just Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda organisation. Our mission is to battle terrorism and to join with freedom loving people. By putting together a coalition which is dedicated to declaring to the world, we will do what it takes to find the terrorists, to rout them out and to hold them accountable. And the United States is proud to lead the coalition.\"\u003cbr/\u003e(Question: Are you saying you want him 'dead or alive', Sir?)\u003cbr/\u003e\"All I'm doing is remembering when I was a kid: I remember that they used to put out there in the Old West a wanted poster that said 'wanted - dead or alive'. All I want, and America wants him brought to justice. That's what we want.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWashington DC - 14 Dec 2001\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (English) US President George W. Bush\u003cbr/\u003e\"For those who contend it is a farce or a fake or are hoping for the best about an evil man, I mean, this is bin Laden unedited. This is the bin Laden who has murdered people, this is the man who sent innocent people to their deaths, this is the man who is so devious, so cold-hearted, he laughs about the suicide, so called suicide bombers who lost their lives. It is preposterous for anybody to think that this tape is doctored. That's just a feeble excuse to provide weak support for an incredibly evil man.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWide shot of Bush and Thailand's Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (English) US President George W.
