Osama bin Laden has warned that Americans would be killed in retaliation if a U.S. court sentences Khaled Sheikh Mohammed to death, according to an audio recording broadcast today by the al-Jazeera news channel. Mohammed, the self-confessed mastermind of the September 11th attacks, is expected to stand trial in a U.S. civilian court next year. The Obama administration has already indicated that the toughest sanction is likely to be imposed.
