DECLARATION OF
WAR AGAINST THE AMERICANS OCCUPYING
THE LAND OF THE
TWO HOLY PLACES
Osama bin Laden has published two religious
orders seeking to justify violence against Western interests in the Middle
East.
The first was a document entitled, Ladenese
Epistle: Declaration of War. Written in August 1996, it was published
in Al Quds Al Arabi, a London-based newspaper that bin Laden has often
used to communicate his views. The text presented here was translated by
the Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights, a pro-bin Laden organization,
and posted on the Internet in October 1996. The second order, Jihad
Against Jews and Crusaders, was published in February 1998.
