In his first interview with Western reporters on the subject, Osama bin Laden, leader of al Qaeda and godfather of the 9/11 attacks against America, has revealed the reason for the attacks.

In and interview with Reuters reporter Saeed Ali Achakzai, bin Laden has revealed that he gave the word for the 9/11 attacks "because George Bush refused to agree to a series of town-hall style meetings" with the al Qaeda leader.

"Allah knows I didn't want it to come to this," bin Laden said through an interpreter, "but he had sort of said earlier that he was o.k. with doing the town-hall thing, but then later he went back on that."

Bin Laden asserted that Bush "only had himself to blame" for the attacks. "It all could have been avoided," he said, "if only Bush had stuck to his initial plan" to participate in the meetings.

"He brought it on himself," bin Laden asserted. "Don't look at me. I wanted to do the town halls. It's not my fault. It's out of my hands."
