WASHINGTON (AFP) - An Internet message from an Al-Qaeda-linked group threatening "unbearable hell" for Americans in reprisal for President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s election victory appears authentic, a US official said.

The official said the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, which earlier claimed responsibility for the Madrid train bombings in March, previously had used the website where the latest message was posted.

"So it appears to be them, given those credentials," said the official, who asked not to be identified.

Some past claims by the group have not panned out, such as the August power blackout in New York.

But, the official said, "We are taking it seriously and watching it closely."

The group, which takes its name from an Al-Qaeda chief killed in Afghanistan (news - web sites) in October 2001, said, "The coming days will show you that the one you preferred will lead you to an unbearable hell."

It said appeared to threaten new attacks on the United States within the "next days".

"The reelection of the criminal Bush, who is no different from the other leaders of this country who have devoted their efforts to killing Muslims everywhere in the world, will not dissuade the mujahedeen from striking the head of the line of infidelity," it said.

What OBL does not understand, and his grave miscalculation was; the majority of American people would react to his threats by doing the exact opposite of what he wanted.

The same goes for the bitching and whining of the Euro-elitists.

The election of GWB was a nothing less than a big FU to those people.

Bush was going down in the polls until OBL came out and gave a campaign speech for Kerry. I believe the election would have been much closer, or even lost for Bush had OBL not released that stupid tape.

Yeah, it doesn't look too good for your candidate when terrorist numero uno starts endorsing the guy.

I agree OBL shouldnt have relieased that tape, cause he kinda caused a swing in the votes to GWB.

However maybe his master plan is to keep bush in power for whatever reason.

Why is OBL so worried? If he is as victorious as he would say - why would he care of GWB is reelected?
Could it be that the "war" is taking more of a toll than they are letting on?

I couldn't agree more, I'm an American citizen of Indian decent. I was leaning towards Kerry, but towards the end I had a lot of my friends in India emailing me telling me to vote for Kerry coz Kerry would lead the country better and that George Bush sux and Americans didn't know what they were doing when they voted for him in 2000.
That really pissed me off and I voted for Bush... hey, if the otherside of the world thinks we are doing things wrong like they did during the Reagan era, we are doing EVERYTHING right.

F U, GWB RULEZZ!

Nope. Tomorrow they are going to distribute a picture of them shaking their fists and spitting on an American flag. They are hoping it will strike fear into the hearts of Americans everywhere.

That is so retarded, to vote for the opposite because you were enraged.
Especially, if you were "leaning" towards one person then you got mad and chose the other guy.

Seriously. It makes you just as much of a pawn as if you voted FOR the candidate everyone tells you to.

You are a moron. There are no winners, only losers. We will never stop terrorism, at least not by violence, as that will only further spread it. We as a species have let ourselves get very out of control and we are doomed to lie in the bed that we have made.
The world is fvcked.

I would not be surprised with OBL at all if he released the Kerry tape to get Bush reelected. Bush has probably been the best thing for Islamic fundamentalist recruiters since the Shah.

Giving in to terrorism has the same effects as giving into a child's demands... they just demand more.

There are only two ways to deal with terrorism, fight back, or give in. "diplomatic solutions" is just a buzzward for giving them what they want.

Never mind that 75% of his organtization's leaders has been killed or captured.

Never mind that OBL is on the run and was forced to release a tape instaed of attack us in an effort to affect the election as he did Spain.

Bush has been the worst thing to happen to OBL and friends since the USSR.

Did you not see my final sentence? Diplomatic solutions are just as effective as carpet bombing towns and invading foreign countries, neither do sh!t, although they both make the tree-hugging hippies and ignorant redneck hicks feel better respectively. I guess I really shouldn't have added the "at least by violence", there is no way to stop terrorism.
We have dug ourselves into way too deep of a pit to get out alive.

How many have come out of the masses to take their place? There can't be a shortage of fanatical muslims, especially after the Iraq snafu.

Neither here nor there, most of OBL's threats have been empty and I can only imagine it to be slightly easier to carry out an attack on a country on the same land mass as most of your fanatics than one across an ocean.
