I just got done reading the bulk of the text of the message. bin Laden has a reputation for sending somewhat cryptic warnings prior to attacks. This paragraph struck me in particular.....

"We also want to clarify that whoever helps America ... either if they fight next to them or give them support in any form or shape, even by words, if they help them to kill the Muslims in Iraq, they have to know that they are outside this Islamic nation. Jordan and Morocco and Nigeria and Saudi Arabia should be careful that this war, this crusade, is attacking the people of Islam first. It doesn't matter whether the socialist (Baath) party or Saddam disappear. ..."

Seems like an odd group of countries to wanr considering the role they will play. Nigeria? Morocco? I dunno, perhaps it is only coindicental but I doubt it given bin Ladens history of delivering timely and well thought out speeches.
