After Tuesday's attacks, a London-based Arab journalist said followers of bin Laden warned three weeks ago that they would carry out a ``huge and unprecedented attack'' on U.S. interests.
Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the Al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper, said he received a warning from Islamic fundamentalists close to bin Laden, but did not take the threat seriously.
``They said it would be a huge and unprecedented attack but they did not specify,'' Atwan said in a telephone interview in London.
``We usually receive this kind of thing. At the time we did not take the warnings seriously as they had happened several times in the past and nothing happened. ``This time it seems his people were accurate and meant every word they said.''
