(AFX-Focus) 2001-09-11 18:06 GMT: Bin Laden had warned of attack against US - report LONDON (AFX) - Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden warned three weeks ago of "a big attack" against the US, according to Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based Al-Quds daily, citing "very good sources." He said the series of terrorist strikes in New York and Washington were "definitely the work of Islamic fundamentalism." "It is well-orchestrated and well-organized," the Atwan, told Agence France-Presse, adding that the attacks could be the work of a "consortium" of Islamic groups. Atwan, who is reputed to have good contacts with bin Laden's organisation, said: "Very good sources told me three weeks ago that he is planning for a big attack against American personnel and interests and maybe this is the outcome of it." Bin Laden is said to be based in Afghanistan, whose ruling Taliban militia said he cannot be accused of playing any role in the attacks - Ian
