November 1, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - Osama bin Laden warned in his October
Surprise
video that he will be closely monitoring the state-by-state election
returns in
tomorrow's presidential race â€" and will spare any state that votes
against
President Bush from being attacked, according to a new analysis of his
statement.
The respected Middle East Media Research Institute, which monitors and
translates Arabic media and Internet sites, said initial translations of
a key
portion of bin Laden's video rant to the American people Friday night
missed an
ostentatious bid by the Saudi-born terror master to divide American
voters and
tilt the election towards Democratic challenger John Kerry.

MEMRI said radical Islamist commentators monitored over the Internet this
past
weekend also interpreted the key passage of bin Laden's diatribe to mean
that
any U.S. state that votes to elect Bush on Tuesday will be considered an
"enemy" and any state that votes for Kerry has "chosen to make peace with
us."

The statement in question is when bin Laden said on the tape: "Your
security is
up to you, and any state that does not toy with our security
automatically
guarantees its own security."

That sentence followed a lengthy passage in the video in which bin Laden
launches personal attacks on the president.

Yigal Carmon, president of MEMRI, said bin Laden used the Arabic term
"ay-wilaya" to refer to a "state" in that sentence.

That term "specifically refers to an American state, like Tennessee,"
Carmon
said, adding that if bin Laden were referring to a "country" he would
have used
the Arabic word "dawla."

MEMRI also translated an analysis of bin Laden's statement from the
Islamist
Web site al-Qal'a, well known for posting al-Qaeda messages, which agreed
that
bin Laden's use of the word "ay-wilaya" was meant as a "warning to every
U.S
state separately."

"It means that any U.S. state that will choose to vote for the white thug
Bush
as president, it means that it chose to fight us and we will consider it
an
enemy to us, and any state that will vote against Bush, it means that it
chose
to make peace with us and we will not characterize it as an enemy," the
Web
site said, according to MEMRI's translation
