Re: Bin Laden intervention
Nov 04, 2004, 19:10
There is something very wily about Bin Laden and he knew what he was doing sending that tape.

Horrific as 9/11 was it would have taken someone who really knew what they were doing to organise and execute the whole thing from a hideout in another country. Though I wonder if Bin Laden will ever be able to pull something off as audacious as or on the scale of 9/11 now he does not have a centre of operations like Afghanistan.

Most Al Qeda operations since have been brutal acts of terror and do not quite have the ingenuity of 9/11. Perhaps he is working on the next big thing or maybe those video tapes are just reliving past glories (for him) until he can get something else big and symbolic together again.

He only has to produce a tape once every six months and it is the world's major news story.
