A tape apparently made by Osama bin Laden said Barack Obama was “powerless” to stop the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The address, made on an Islamist website, lasted 11 minutes and was accompanied by a still image of the al Qaeda leader but no video.
It was entitled “a statement to the American people” and blamed the wars on the “pro-Israel lobby” and corporate interests.
The voice, believed to be Bin Laden, also spoke of how the conflict between al Qaeda and the US could end.
It said: “If you stop the war, then fine. Otherwise we will have no choice but to continue our war of attrition on every front ... If you choose safety and stopping wars, as opinion polls show you do, then we are ready to respond to this.”
