From an audiotape released by Osama bin Laden and broadcast by Al Jazeera on October 19, 2003: “After mocking [President] Bush for ‘begging the world to come to [his] aid’ by providing troops in Iraq, he threatened those who supported the occupation: ‘Let the transgressors know that we reserve our right in responding when and where we see appropriate against all the countries that participate in this unjust war–especially Britain, Spain, Australia, Poland, Japan, and Italy.’ ”
