| Bin Laden: US is after Iraq's oil |
| 2007-12-29 |
AL-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has accused the US of plotting to take control of Iraqi oil supplies and he urged Iraqis to reject efforts to rebuild a US-backed national unity government. In a statement posted on the internet overnnight, bin Laden said Washington wanted to build military bases in the country and dominate the region. The militant leader urged Iraqis to reject the envisaged plan and said those who took part in it would be turning their backs on Islam. It is meant "to give the Americans all they wish of Iraq's oil", he said. Sunni Arabs pulled out of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shi'ite-led government earlier this year, accusing it of being too sectarian. |
