"There were people passing out. There were people falling on the stairs. We were in total darkness on the stairs. You didn't really know what you were walking into either. You couldn't see ahead of you. You didn't know what happened. The doors automatically locked on all the floors, so you couldn't get out of the staircase. So it was shoulder to shoulder, in the dark, for over an hour."

"He will use the opportunity for publicity to engage in as much propaganda as possible, and much more important, the people around him, the movements that sympathise with him will use the event for propaganda purposes, that he's being victimised, here he's one of the great martyrs for the cause."

SOUNDBITE: (English) William Cohen, Secretary of Defence

"The United States is a global power with global responsibilities, as a result we face global risks. In the wake of this tragedy I want to be clear about one point: we will continue to protect our national interests, around the world, in the Middle East and elsewhere. No-one should doubt our resolve to remain a force for peace and for stability and no-one should assume that they can force us to retreat. No-one should assume that they can attack us with impunity."

Arabic graphic - "Iraq"

SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Osama Bin Laden

"They besieged the children in Iraq. According to the Christians, more than one (M) million children died. Under which religion did they besiege them for so many years? Is it their fault if their leader became an atheist and the Baath became his God, like the Arab leaders who took the White House man as their God, following him bluntly. What is the fault of the Iraqi children and the people of Afghanistan to be assaulted by international atheism and the atheist nations which are followed by the whole Arab and Islamic nation."

"Palestine"

SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Osama Bin Laden

"Jews in Palestine violated and abused the weak Muslim women, imprisoned those children who confronted them for the victory of religion, when the leaders stayed unactive."

SOUNDBITE: (Arabic) Osama Ben Laden

"Abu Righan and his grandsons (the royal Saudi family) appeared to open Saudi Arabia so it welcomes the US tanks. And the Christian and Jewish women soldiers wander freely on the land where Mohammad was born and where angel Gabriel laid down the Koran. This land is very important because it is very dear to God."

SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Osama Bin Laden

"Here is a nation of Islam that gained back its conscious and woke up. It began to rebel. And your brothers in the Orient, in Kabul

Osama bin Laden Faxes

Translation of the fax is as follows:

"In the name of God the merciful.

Sunday 6 Rajab 1422 (23 September 2001)

To our Muslim brothers in Pakistan, peace be upon you.

I have received with great sadness the news that some of our Muslim brothers have been killed in Karachi while expressing their denouncement of the forces of the American crusade and their allies in the Muslim lands of Pakistan and Afghanistan. We ask God to receive them as martyrs and may they become like the prophets, the believers and good people who were chosen to become God's companions and may God grant their relatives patience and solace and bless their sons with good fortune and reward them greatly for their faith in Islam.

And for those martyrs who left behind children - those children will be mine and I will be their guardian with the blessing of God.

It is not surprising for the Islamic nation to rise up in Pakistan in defence of Islam. Pakistan is considered to be the first line of the defence of Islam in the region as was the case with Afghanistan in defending itself and Pakistan against the Russian invasion more than 20 years ago.

And we would hope that these brothers (those killed in Karachi) will be among the first martyrs in the battle of Islam in this era against the new Jewish crusader campaign that is led by the chief crusader Bush under the banner of the cross.

This battle is considered one of the glorious Islamic battles.

We incite our Muslim brothers in Pakistan to strive with all they posess and all they are able to against the American crusading forces to prevent them invading Pakistan and Afghanistan. The prophet - peace be upon him - said "Let him who does not invade or provide an invader or look after the family of an invader - God will curse him before Judgement Day" - this was witnessed by Abu Daoud (follower of the Prophet).

I promise you, beloved brothers, you are firm on the path of jihad for the sake of God following the example of the Prophet - peace be upon Him - in supporting the brave believers of the Afghani people under the leadership of our fighter who holds his religion sacred: Commander of the Faithful the Mullah Mohammed Omar.

We ask God to grant him victory against the power and aggression of the infidels and to crush the new Jewish crusader campaign on the land of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

(Koranic verse meaning if God makes you victorious then none shall defeat you and if God abandons you then who will make you victorious other than Him? Therefore may Believers rely on God)

Your brother in Islam

Osama bin Muhammed bin Laden" (END OF TRANSLATION)

14 Oct 2002 Fax

Wide shot showing all six pages of fax

Pan across text - highlighted in yellow - stating as follows: "We congratulate the Islamic community for the heroic operations which our holy warriors carried out in Yemen against the oil tanker and in Kuwait against the American forces. By blowing up this tanker in Yemen, they cut the pipeline that supplies oil to the crusaders of the West, in order to remind the enemy of the heavy price they will pay in blood if they continue their crusade against our community and steal our resources. The heroic operation in Kuwait also showed the danger that American forces will face wherever they are based in Islamic countries."

George W. Bush soundbites on Osama bin Laden

(POOL)

17 Sep 2001

SOUNDBITE (English) George W. Bush, US President

"I want justice. There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said: 'Wanted - Dead or Alive'.

(Question: Do you see an end at all?)

"I think that this is a long term battle - war. There'll be battles, but this is long term. After all, our mission is not just Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda organisation. Our mission is to battle terrorism and to join with freedom loving people. By putting together a coalition which is dedicated to declaring to the world, we will do what it takes to find the terrorists, to rout them out and to hold them accountable. And the United States is proud to lead the coalition."

(Question: Are you saying you want him 'dead or alive', Sir?)

"All I'm doing is remembering when I was a kid: I remember that they used to put out there in the Old West a wanted poster that said 'wanted - dead or alive'. All I want, and America wants him brought to justice. That's what we want."

Washington DC - 14 Dec 2001

SOUNDBITE (English) US President George W. Bush

"For those who contend it is a farce or a fake or are hoping for the best about an evil man, I mean, this is bin Laden unedited. This is the bin Laden who has murdered people, this is the man who sent innocent people to their deaths, this is the man who is so devious, so cold-hearted, he laughs about the suicide, so called suicide bombers who lost their lives. It is preposterous for anybody to think that this tape is doctored. That's just a feeble excuse to provide weak support for an incredibly evil man."

Wide shot of Bush and Thailand's Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra

SOUNDBITE (English) US President George W. Bush

"I don't care...dead or alive, either way. I mean, it doesn't matter to me. Secondly, I don't know whether we're going to get him tomorrow, or a month from now or a year from now. I really don't know. But we're gonna get him."
