Bin Laden says U.S. seeks to control Iraqi oil -Web
DUBAI, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden said the United States wants to create a national unity government in Iraq to control oil supplies, build military bases and dominate the region.
The militant leader urged Iraqis in a recording posted on the Internet on Saturday to reject the envisaged plan and said those who take part in it would be exiting Islam.
It is meant "to give the Americans all they wish of Iraq's oil", he said. (Reporting by Inal Ersan)
