France will pay for Afghan policy - bin Laden tape

Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has released an audio recording, saying that the release of French hostages depends on France’s soldiers leaving Muslim lands. President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy’s refusal to remove his forces from Afghanistan is just like allowing the killing spree to start. However, we won’t do that at the time that he can still make that decision that could save his fellow citizens, said Bin Laden.

From the released tape, the al Qaeda’s leader is believed to be hiding in the mountainous boarder areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, has seem to be linking the French presence in Afghanistan to the kidnapping of its nationals in Niger. Seven foreigners, including five French employees of Areva and Vinci, were kidnapped in Niger in September.

Though France has never been attacked by terrorists at home, but the nation has eight hostages held across the world. So far all the rescue actions have failed and caused the death of their citizens. At the end of the day, the men are fighting and the women are crying. What’s the point of it? Violence stops nothing.
