Who did this?

• Osama bin Laden FAQ from MSNBC.com. Easily digestible facts on who he is, where he came from, and how he operates.
• Who is Osama Bin-Laden? From Mideastweb.org. More details with full text from bin Laden's violent anti-American and anti-western pronouncements.
• Do not attack innocent Muslims and Arabs living in the U.S. It's not the Afghani people, nor the Arab people who did this, but a group of sociopathic cultists. Many Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. left their countries due to chaos and persecution. Afghan Network has statements from Afghanis in the U.S. (who fled the Taliban) as well as even more news on what is happened re. Afghanistan. See also Afghan-American Community statement to Americans.
