MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 9 — Osama bin Laden reportedly said he has nuclear and chemical weapons and might use them to respond to U.S. attacks, according to an article published Saturday in a Pakistani newspaper.
“I WISH TO DECLARE that if America used chemical or nuclear weapons against us, then we may retort with chemical and nuclear weapons. We have the weapons as deterrent,” Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper quoted bin Laden as telling a well-known Pakistani journalist in Afghanistan on Wednesday night.
The paper said that when asked where he got the weapons from, bin Laden replied: “Go to the next question.”
Dawn said Hamid Mir, editor of Pakistan’s Ausaf newspaper, had interviewed bin Laden, the primary suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on America, after being taken by jeep, blindfolded, from Kabul on Nov. 7.
The paper, which printed a photograph showing Mir with bin Laden, said it was the first interview the Saudi-born militant had granted to any journalist since the deadly Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
In the interview, bin Laden also was quoted as saying the Sept. 11 attacks were justified.
“America and its allies are massacring us in Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, and Iraq,” he reportedly said. “The Muslims have the right to attack America in reprisal. The Islamic Shariat says Muslims should not live in the land of the infidel for long. The Sept. 11 attacks were not targeted at women and children. The real targets were America’s icons of military and economic power.”
