According to this article, Osama Bin Laden has exposed his ties to the kidnapping of five French people in Niger in response to France's treatment of its Muslim population. Bin Laden sent an audio recording of himself saying that the abduction was the result of "France's injustice to Muslims." Also, in his message he urges France to remove their troops from Afghanistan. This act is in response to France banning the public display of religious items, including the wearing of the hijab.
The French citizens where captured last month in Niger at a uranium mine by al-Qaeda militants. They are believed to be alive still and being held in Mali. To protect the security of France, Bin Laden is urging them to exit the war in which former president George W. Bush created.
