Osama bin laden threats

Israel strongly condems Osama's threat and do warn any of his allies that (even though we will try to keep this year peacefull, as it is our 60th anniversary) we will retaliate if we are attacked.

Iran hopes that Israel will use 2008 to end its brutal oppression of the Palestinian people, thus removing the need for such rhetoric.

France condemns Osama's threat, and reaffirms her promise of aid to those affected by terrorist atrocities.

However, whom will Israel retaliate against? Al Qaeda is a multi-national terrorist organisation, with no specific allegiance to a government, and do not act on behalf of any.

The only logical way of targeting a revenge attack (something France neither endorses nor informally supports) would be to target it on Al Qaeda itself. So, is Israel planning on bombing the cave Bin Laden sleeps in?

If so, I'm sure the USA would be rather happy if you shared his whereabouts with them. They have, after all, been looking for him for the best part of 6 years and 3 months.

As mentioned, we will try to keep this year as pecefull as possible, but we refuse to be the 'middle east's punchbag,' allowing the palestinians(along with the other arab/islamic states) to fire weapons into the Israeli knessit. Let me please remind the Iranian delegate that as the palestinian leader urged Israel to stop the violence this year, Palestinian militants fired katyusha rockets 10.5 miles into Israel from gaza.

I will say this to the delegate once more, we will retaliate if striked upon.

As said, Israel will retaliate against anyone that strikes against us. (I wasn't just reffering to Al qaeda) but to anyone who tries to harm us such as the palestinians

While Osama Bin Laden's threat is immediate and severe, Liechtenstein echos Frances thoughts in the futility of searching for one man in a desert. Efforts should be made to improve anti-terrorism measures, and attention should not be drawn to heretics who glamourise the 'cause'.

Does the representative for Liechstenstein have any constructive proposals for such improvements?

Not as such, no :p:

Liechtenstein doesn't really have a problem with terrorist threats though, does it?

Naturally, France agrees with Liechtenstein that our efforts should be targeted towards prevention rather than cure.

This would possibly require an International Intelligence Committee being set up as a UNO with delegates from member states meeting regularly to share intelligence gleened from their individual efforts, thus starting a global push against such actions. However such a group would require everyone to get along, an ideal that has been tested of late.

It is blessed with being not noticed by those wishing to terrorise :smile:

Liechtenstein notes that the need for secrecy of such an organisation would be compromised by the need for international collabhoration, and so considers the matter appropriate to be handled internally.

France's proposition is worth consideration, and should she wish to present the plan to the GA, we may be able to implement it.

Indeed our body as a whole, would be a thousand times more effective if we were able to 'get along' more successfully.
