In May 1998, bin Laden was interviewed by ABC reporter John Miller. He defended the killing of women and children on the grounds of ‘reciprocity’. After all, he pointed out, America had dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that did not differentiate between men and women, or adults and children. He defended Ramzi Yousef, saying: ‘He is a Muslim who wanted to protect his religion jealously from the oppression practised by America against Islam.’ And that: ‘He acted with zeal to make the Americans understand that their government was attacking Muslims in order to safeguard the American-Jewish interests.’

Bin Laden also praised Wali Khan Amin Shah, the man who had actually placed the bomb under the seat in the Greenbelt Theater in Manila. He had known him in Afghanistan and endorsed his plan to assassinate President Clinton. Asked whether he had ordered and funded the attacks on the US military in Dhahran and Riyadh, bin Laden boasted that he had inspired them and called their perpetrators ‘holy martyrs’. His aim, he said, was to fight until the Americans were driven out of all the Islamic countries. After all, Allah had defeated the Soviet Union, which had since fallen apart. The same future awaited America.
