Osama calls for jehad against India
Islamabad: Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, wanted by Washington in connection with embassy bombings in Africa, has now declared open jehad (holy war) against India along with the US and asked militant groups in Pakistan to join hands to “target” them. Laden, in a statement from Afghan town Jalalabad declared: “Our biggest enemies are the US and India and we should target them using the best of our efforts.
“All the jehad groups in Pakistan should combine their efforts to declare war against these two countries,” he said.Laden had earlier declared jehad against the US after Washington listed him among the 10 most wanted terrorists in the world with a prize of $5 million on his head for his alleged involvement in the US embassy bombings last year.
The statement alleged India is staging a “drama of election” in Kashmir and added that “Laden is always ready to help the Kashmiri mujahideens.” Most of the hard-liner religious groups in Pakistan which run training camps for sending militants into Kashmir, support Laden.
