One of the founders of al-Qaeda has written a message to Obama Bin Laden from his Egyptian prison cell:
Attacking America has become the shortest road to fame and leadership among the Arabs and Muslims. But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy’s buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of yours? That, in short, is my evaluation of 9/11.
