Al-Quds Al-Arabi
Bin Laden's 1996 fatwā is entitled "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places". This document is sometimes called the "Ladenese epistle", a term derived from bin Laden's surname. It is a long piece, and complains of American activities in numerous countries. It was faxed to Arab language newspapers internationally but particularly in England. It first appeared in the London-based Arabic paper "Al-Quds Al-Arabi".
