    Parts of his taped speech:
    'People of America: I remind you of the weighty words of our leaders, Sheikh Osama bin Laden and Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, that what took place on September 11 was but the opening salvo of the global war on America and that, Allah willing, the magnitude and ferocity of what is coming your way will make you forget all about September 11. . . . My fellow countrymen, you are guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty. . . . You are as guilty as Bush and Cheney. . . . After decades of American tyranny and oppression, now it's your turn to die. Allah willing, the streets of America will run red with blood, matching drop for drop the blood of America's victims.'
