A U.S. government compilation of interviews and other public statements issued by Usama bin Laden between 1994 and 2004 is now publicly available (pdf).
The texts were translated by the CIA’s Foreign Broadcast Information Service (which has since been succeeded by the Open Source Center).
Even if you don’t speak Arabic or other Mideastern languages, you can follow the news and key opinion pieces from more than 500 media outlets in. All members of the Cornell community can read daily updates from Mideastwire.com. It offers daily translated briefs covering some of the key political, cultural, economic and opinion pieces appearing in the Arab media. The site includes a fully searchable archive containing thousands of briefs coded by subject categories (women’s issues, judicial rulings, energy policy, and more), specific news outlets (such as Al Hayat, Al Jazeera, and Al Quds Al Arabi), specific countries, keywords, and more.
