Osama's European truce ends in 13 days. Some of the jihadists sound ready to go.
Al Qaeda leader bin Laden, in an audiotape on April 15, extended a truce to Europeans if they withdrew troops from Muslim nations. He said the offer not to attack Europe would last three months.
Several European states have rejected the truce offer
An al Qaeda-linked group vowed to renew attacks on Europe and urged Muslims to flee once Osama bin Laden 's three-month truce ends on July 15, two Arabic-language newspapers reported on Friday.
"To the European people ... you only have a few more days to accept bin Laden's truce or you will only have yourselves to blame," said the statement purported to be from the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades which claimed responsibility for the March 11 train bombings in Spain which killed 191 people.
"Muslims in the West should depart to Muslim states if they can. Those who cannot should take precautions and live in Muslim areas, have enough food to last a month, find ways to protect themselves and their families, leave enough money in the house to last one month or longer and to pray a lot and put their fate in God's hands.
"The race now is between you, time and European governments which refused to stop their attacks against Muslims. So do not blame us for what will happen, and we apologize to you in advance if you are among those killed."
