“On a tape recording [on January 19, 2006], Bin Laden threatened that preparations for a fresh wave of terror attacks on the US were under way. ‘The delay in similar operations happening in America has not been because of failure to break through your security measures,’ the speaker said. ‘But the operations are happening in Baghdad and you will see them in your houses as soon as they are complete, God willing.’ ”
