What is Osama bin Laden's letter to America? Social media users share videos about it

Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, Osama bin Laden’s 2002 letter to America has gone viral on the internet. Several social media users shared videos in support of that and have praised the content of the letter.

In the letter, Osama bin Laden justified the attacks against Americans. The letter also criticised the US for lending support to Israel and the oppression of Palestinians. Other than this, the letter also mentioned that America should stop their oppression, lies and immorality.

Now, social media users are discussing this letter after 20 years and they are saying that they are in full support of it. Numerous videos supporting this letter was shared on TikTok, which has been banned in India since 2020.

Amid this, TikTok said that content promoting this letter violates their rules on supporting any form of terrorism. It is also worth noting that this letter was first shared by the Guardian newspaper. However, it was pulled out by them on November 15, 2023.

The Guardian shared a message on their website, in which it was mentioned, “This page previously displayed a document containing, in translation, the full text of Osama bin Laden’s “letter to the American people”, as reported in the Observer on Sunday 24 November 2002.”

It was further mentioned that the letter to America was published on their website on the same day. However, it was removed on 15 November 2023.

The Guardian did not mention any reason why they pulled out the letter but this has come right after the videos about it started doing rounds on the internet.
