The Guardian removes Osama bin Laden’s ‘Letter to America’ after TikTok unearths pro-terror messages
The Guardian this week removed Osama bin Laden’s infamous “Letter to America” as the words of the terrorist mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks went viral after being discovered by social media users.
The left-wing media outlet has been publishing the anti-American and anti-Semitic letter on its website since 2002 and was the first Google search result when searching for the document. But the publication deleted bin Laden’s letter due to a sudden surge in traffic.
A spokesperson for The Guardian told Fox News Digital: “The transcript published on our website 20 years ago was widely shared on social media without full context. So we decided to remove it and direct readers to the news article that originally provided context for it instead.
The Guardian declined further comment.
The September 11 attacks left nearly 3,000 people dead and many thousands more injured and suffering long-term illnesses after Islamic terrorists crashed four hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania; The latter was brought down by heroic passengers. In the letter to the American people, translated into English, bin Laden justified al-Qaeda’s attacks against the United States with “They attacked us” and “They attacked us in Palestine.”
“Palestine, which has been mired in military occupation for more than 80 years. The British, with your help and support, handed over Palestine to the Jews who had occupied it for more than 50 years; Years of oppression, tyranny and crime.” “Killing, displacement, destruction and devastation,” bin Laden claimed.
